'Good poll but I agree that it could use some parameters. For starters, I noticed that all of the series have a rating of at least 8.0 except for:
#15 #20 #22 #25 #26 #30 #33
So you already have one guideline if you want to use it. I did two searches; the results are below but I couldn't figure out how to keep US series out so you'd have to go through them yourself. I could probably help if you want it.
You don't have to use those search criteria, of course; it's just an example but this list would probably be pretty easy and quick to get through. You could also leave out comedies, documentaries, and/or reality TV and/or other genres and shrink the results even more. : )
Prime Suspect (starring Helen Mirren) This is actually a series of mini-series, though, so I'm not sure it qualifies - what a strange way to classify a TV show... Anyway, if Prime Suspect's format is too diffuse, following is another really good series - 8.4 rating...

There are thousands of foreign tv series. Do you have any way to decide the options? number of votes? rating?

Perhaps instead of 'Xena' and 'McLeod's Daughters,' which have lower ratings than the rest, you might want to consider
Endeavor
and
