No need to worry; we have a selection of Spanish TV shows that you can use to learn both the language and its culture through historical moments, landscapes, and the specific language of each region. Check out some of them below:
MONEY HEIST
Money Heist is one of those shows you never get tired of repeatedly watching; thanks to its worldwide fame, you have probably seen it in your native language. Therefore it will be easy for you to follow the plot, but this time in Spanish! Try and watch the show in Spanish and see how well you can understand the plot. Remember, you can always turn on the English subtitles if you need help.
NARCOS
Another famous Netflix production to help you learn Spanish is called Narcos. This show allows you to immerse yourself in the landscapes of Colombia and follow the story of Pablo Escobar, who changed the world with his drug trafficking. But, thanks to the work of the DEA, his plans are squashed.
CABLE GIRLS
Set in 1920s Madrid, Cable Girls follows four young women as they live through their romances, drama, and changes in their jobs for a newly born telephone company. The four girls also find themselves fighting for their rights during a time when women did not have equal rights.
ELITE
If you are looking to learn Spanish while enjoying some crazy teen drama, then Elite is the show for you. Set inside Las Encinas High School, the show follows young students as they navigate through romances, fights, and trying to survive the school year.
This show is very popular with young audiences because it is addictive thanks to its crazy plotlines every season.
VIS A VIS
If you liked “Orange Is the New Black,” then Vis a Vis would be a great show to watch next. Originally aired on Spanish television, this series tells the story of a young woman who goes to jail for crimes committed because of her boss, with whom she fell in love with.
PAQUITA SALA
Last but not least, we have some Spanish comedic excellence in Paquita Salas. Played by Brays Efe, Paquita runs an office representing famous people, but her plans do not always go as expected. You definitely will not stop laughing for a second with this series, and you will be able to observe some of the hilarious Spanish clichés.
I hope you enjoy this selection and see how your Spanish improves every day, enjoy!
