2026 marks the 11 year anniversary of MHz Choice, and to celebrate, we wanted to commemorate the most popular series over the past few incredible years!
When we launched as a streaming service in 2015, we were already featuring series that would go down as legends: the WWII epic A French Village, our very first Tatort entry with Tatort: Cologne, the internationally popular French crime drama Spiral, and more. Over the past 11 years, more than 400 series have joined that list, and many have proved to be fan favorites in their own way.
But these 11 series rose above the rest. Whether you’re discovering these series for the first time or revisiting an old favorite, you know you’re in for a treat with these hit series.
Here’s to 11 more years!
