German movies which want to be recognized overseas usually go the Nazi road. That always guarantees an Oscar nomination. And some weird dry German shows had appeal in similar weird neighboring countries (Neitherlands, Russia, China, South Africa, ...) such as Derrick. Unrelated to the fact that its main actor was in the Waffen SS. This related factoid didn't help though. Similar to the recent run of northern (danish & swedish) TV shows and trash literature in Germany. Proper quality foreign shows, like southern, indian or east asian shows would stand no chance.
