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?

Locked Up? Kind of OITNB?

Casa de las Flores (series) or Toc (movie)
It definitely helps to watch with subtitles (Spanish not English)

I gave up on Ministerio del Tiempo because every episode was just so long, it felt like watching films rather than a series. I just didn't have the time/discipline to keep up with it!

Criminal is good. There are three episodes each of English, French, German and Spanish.

When I was trying to brush up, and didn't have Netflix, I watched DVDs that I already had, but changed the language to Spanish. I watched a lot of Bewitched (Embrujada/Hechizada depending on whether it had the Spanish or Mexican dub) like that. That worked well because I already knew the rough storyline. It probably isn't quite as good as watching something "wholly" Spanish, but I stuck with it because I enjoyed it, and it did help. Maybe he could re-watch a series, but dubbed into Spanish?

I'd avoid Abre Los Ojos. I didn't understand or enjoy it in Spanish, so watched the English remake (Vanilla Sky), in case it was watching in Spanish that had made it hard to follow. It wasn't.

Oh, vis a vis/locked up
Supposed to be v good but not on irish netflix :-(

We just watched Altamar on Netflix - a bit telenovela, but secrets, lies, murders, nazis, a lush 1940s ocean liner...

So many answers, thank you!! Narcos is a good contender. DS did like Money Heist, he just couldn't follow the Spanish, much too fast.

Just to mention that much as I like narcos the language isn't very polite.
You ds will need not to use some of it at school.

Smoke & Mirrors
The Bar

and so many more! If he watches these loads will pop up as suggestions!

Vis a vis is the highest rated in imdb but it's 18

If this is for supplementing school learning in UK, I wouldn't go with anything that is from Spanish speaking Americas. There are a few differences in grammar and quite a lot of vocabulary differences. For fun though or contrast (seeing if he can notice the differences) then of course anything is great!

Just watched Criminal UK and will watch the Spanish one next.

It takes place in an interrogation room and if the UK version is anything to go by, the pace is slow and easy to follow.

Agree with the poster about watching South American shows, he can get depressed seeing he doesn’t understand half of what they say, the vocabulary is very different from Spanish from Spain.

La Valla is really good!

Yes I'm loving La Valla and they don't speak quite as fast as Andalucians.

I started learning Spanish by watching telenovelas on Netflix. La Reina Del Sur was the first one I got through, even though it has about a billion episodes. Most of season one is set in Spain. Actually, until I saw the show I embarrassingly didn't even know that people from Mexico spoke a different kind of Spanish and that there were loads of different accents etc.

DS is studying Spanish and he watches something on youTube called News in slow Spanish.

As a PP says there are lots of foreign language shows on Channel 4. It is a subset of All4 called Walter Presents. The only downside is that there will be ad breaks.
