Over the holiday season...well actually anytime, I love to watch murder mysteries, especially foreign dramas. I have always loved puzzles, but I also enjoy learning a few phrases while at the same time trying to determine the name of the killer.
What I have found interesting is that since I watch Italian, German, and Scandanavian mysteries they each present different aspects of their countries. 
For example, In Italian dramas, scenes are very often are shot in a restaurant where conversation involves a discussion of the delicious food. The women for the most part (not the detectives) are beautiful, wear only dresses and are curvy. German dramas, are gritty and hard-edged, and the Scandanavian dramas often have women in the leading role or positions of power.
