Non English Netflux/Prime TV reccs?

[therespectablecardigan]

Fancy something different for a change and it's always nice to see a bit of different scenery/culture. I've loved Shtisel and Srugrim, Fatma wasn't bad and I've a few other Turkish shows on my watch list. Any suggestions?

Netflix!

@waltzingparrot started a thread last month - similar but not the same as yours. Lots of film ideas on there - many of them are on Netflix or Prime.

Brilliant, thanks a lot, will check it out.

There are some cracking Turkish comedies on Netflix, funny even using the subtitles. I really liked one called Brother in Love. Maybe this link works:

It's been around for a while (several seasons) but if you haven't watched it yet, Casa de Papel (Money Heist) is very good.

One that I watched recently and can recommend, highly, is The Defeated on Netflix. It's a thriller set in post-war Berlin.

Family Business, season three now streaming. If you liked 10 per cent this is 10 per cent crossed with breaking bad ( not my description but is as good as any ).Improves your ability to swear in French no end , mostly down to Liliane Rovere who is fabulous and potty mouthed when roused.

@rosegoldwatcher Thanks for the link.

Borgen is really good. I bloody loved it.

I loved Lilyhammer on Netflix, half in English half in Norwegian with great scenery.

3% on Netflix it's Brazilian
Or The Barrier also Netflix in Spanish

Winter Sun

Kurt Seyit & Sura
Both Turkish

My favourite non English series is Dark

Recently Squid Game and The Chestnut Man

Le Bureau
Spiral
Deutschland 83, 86 and 89
Hinterland

There’s a German drama on Netflix called Charite based on true events (set in a real life hospital in Berlin - first series is Victorian era, second one is WW2 and a third one set in Cold War 1960s is imminent).

When/if you’re in the mood for something festive, try the Norwegian Netflix drama Home for Christmas.

Borgen, The Bridge, Money Heist, Gran Hotel, Le Bureau, Call my Agent, Spiral, Braquo, Hotel de Luna, Squid Games. All very different but brilliant in their own way

Oh and Lupin as well. Really entertaining watch

Money Heist is quite simply the best thing I've ever seen. Ever.
The Bridge obvs. I can speak Danish and Swedish now and have serious Scandi house and furniture envy.
Dark was a total headfuck and took me twice as long to watch as it should because I kept having to refer to my notes and Fandom. but very well worth it.

Just finished Jaguar in Spanish. Was pretty good. About Nazi hunting in Franco’s Spain.

Bonus Family.

I almost cried when I finished it.

We've been introducing Ds1 to the idea of watching stuff in other languages by tracking down all t e various scandi versions of Taskmaster, on YouTube. We're currently working our way through the first season of (Finnish) Suurmestari, though our favourite has been the Norwegian one, Kongen Befaler.

Oh I agree! It's amazing.

"Typewriter" (Goan). "Kingdom" and "Sweet Home" (both Korean and well worth sticking with). Tokyo Stories - Midnight Diner.
