Anything decent in Netflix in Spanish original?

[PeaceLoveAndCandy]

Son studying Spanish for A levels tried to get into Money Heist but they spoke way too fast. The he tried 'entre costuras' but he thought it was boring, slow, badly acted and quite crap. Any recommendations?

Try Cable Girls...I enjoyed it but drops a bit in middle seasons but picks up again.

Also try Channel 4 streaming...they have a lot of foreign dramas

TRIED TO get into Money Heist?! Sorry but if he couldn't get into it there's no hope for him, best show ever! If he struggled to follow he should put the Spanish subtitles on.

Veronica, The Platform, La Influencia. All horror films

La Casa de las Flores is so, so funny. To me anyway.

Also the Cable Girls. I ended up sitting next to one of the main stars on the train last year

narcos

4 seasons in havana

I found watching the same film over and over great for picking up language. The first few times you are paying attention to the script, getting to understand each actor's accent etc.

Each time you listen you pick up a little more. Then try without the subtitles.
Also bear in mind south american spanish sometimes easier for english natives to understand but whether this will be useful depends where you are likely to be using it (doubt they would mark you down for picking up south american accent but check with your teachers)

Mar de Plastico is a good crime drama in Spanish, on Netflicks.

*Netflix

Channel 4 had Profugos S1 and we loved it but I cannot figure out a way to access S2 without moving to South America. If anyone manages it please let me know. They speak fairly slowly, I picked up a lot of the dialogue and my A Level Spanish was 16 years ago.

AnotherEmma is right!
I tell my students to watch first with English subtitles and don't worry about understanding everything. You absorb more than you think. Don't watch Spanish with Spanish subtitles though, that makes it a reading comprehension exercise and uses a different bit of language brain.

Dd who doesn't even speak Spanish watches La casa de papel with subtitles.

Put the subtitles on in Spanish. It helps follow it.

Narcos
We also enjoy "nailed it Mexico" and Street food Latin America on Netflix.

Ministerio de Tiempo was ok. I am not sure if it is still on Netflix but it is on RTVE website for free, as are lots of other good things, like Isabel. You can choose whether ti have subtitles or a transcript down the side which I like.

I think Dark is in Spanish. It’s a brilliant series.

@Foldinthecheese Dark is in German. Excellent series though.

There's a really good film on netfli, It is "alibi" in english but i dont think it is called coartada in spanish. Contratiempo ... ?

Oh yes and Isabel was really good but the Spanish is fifteenth century so not the best way to learn it!

God I loved Isabel when I was first learning!

Narcos 100%!!

As someone who did something similar when I was learning Spanish too, I found Narcos easier to follow in Spanish than money heist
