Somehow Australian/Eastern European sci-fi collaborations made it to Norway a lot. Spellbinder, The Odyssey, Ocean Girl, The Girl From Tomorrow and so on.

Stark Raving Mad from 1999-2000, with Tony Shalhoub and Neil Patrick Harris. I remember it being fun as hell, but apparently it was completely memoryholed. When I went looking for it a few years ago, all I managed to find were some VHS rips.

VR5 was already mentioned, but about the same period there was a miniseries called Wild Palms which was a sci-fi show about (amongst other things) media manipulation around an election. Featured Bebe Neuwirth.

I have been remiss in not mentioning 12 Monkeys in this thread. It got four seasons to fully tell its story, and it's a very, very good show (I actually like it better than the source material, which is saying something), but it does seem forgotten. I rarely see people talk about it in the same way they do other sci-fi TV series, but the people who *did* watch it are absolutely fanatical.

It has something in common with my beloved Lodge 49, mentioned a-ways up thread, in that it was an obvious labor of love for everyone involved, and everyone who worked on it cites it as one of the best working experiences they've ever had.

The only issue I had with it was that it had a tendency in the later seasons of solving every problem with an automatic rifle.

Otherwise it was great, especially the episodes where they go into full heist-mode, and it does of course have one of the greatest scenes ever put on TV:
