One of the best things about Netflix is that it gives you the ability to travel the world.

The streaming giant has a growing library of international titles that make it easy to watch a foreign show or movie with just the click of a button.

There’s a solid collection of Turkish and Korean TV shows, but my personal favorite is Spanish-language shows.

There’s just enough drama and excitement in them to keep you on the edge of your seat!

Turn on the written subtitles and enjoy!

La Casa de Papel, as it’s known by its Spanish name, is arguable the most popular series on the list. A group of thieves led by criminal mastermind “The Professor” attempt to pull off the biggest heist in history at the Royal Mint of Spain. And once you learn why they’re doing it, you’ll find yourself on team hiding their faces behind the terrifying Salvador Dali mask. You’re missing out if you haven’t given the series a chance!

Elite

Rich kids at an exclusive prep school? Check! A clash between the wealthy students and the working class? Check! A murder mystery that has you guessing until the very last moment? Double check. Elite, a modern-day Gossip Girl, has it all.

High Seas

Also known as Alta Mar, the murder mystery thriller finds two sisters looking into a series of mysterious deaths on a luxury ship in the 1940s. It’s like a game of “Clue” come to life, only ten times more dramatic.

Cable Girls

The Spanish period drama is set in the 20s. It’s a proud day in Madrid, the location of the first national telephone company, as four young women get jobs, which is a statement and representation of the progress being made for women’s equality.

Valeria

A comedy-drama that’s all about the power of friendship! Valeria, a writer who is having marital issues and writer’s block, turns to her three best friends, Carmen, Lola, and Nerea, for comfort and distraction. There’s nothing like the power of sisterhood.

Somebody Has to Die

Alguien Tiene Que Morir is a period drama set in 1950s conservative Spain. A young man is asked to come home to meet his fiancée, but his family doesn’t take kindly when he returns with a Mexican “ballerino” instead.

Sky Rojo

How far would you go to find freedom? In the action-drama, three women working at a brothel are put to the test when they embark on wild escape from their pimp and his goons in search of a better life.

Who Killed Sara

In this twisted thriller, Alex is framed for his sister’s murder and spends 18 years in prison planning the perfect revenge. When he’s released, he sets out the find the real killer and seeks retribution on the family that’s responsible.

Locked Up

In the Spanish crime-drama, also known as Vis a Vis, a middle-class woman is locked up in a high-security women’s prison after being set up for corporate fraud by her boss… who was also her lover. As the women take an interest in the “fresh meat,” she learns that her stint is going to come with its fair share of danger.

‘High Potential’ Hits a Huge High Note Ahead of Season 3

It’s pretty obvious why High Potential was renewed for a third season, especially if the season 2 finale is any indication of the drama’s draw and popularity.

It seems as though ending the drama on a huge cliffhanger (spoiler—fans have to wait till season 3 to see if Nick Wagner (Steve Howey) survives the ambush by whoever is trying to silence him and Morgan (Kaitlin Olson) from pursuing the Roman Sinquerra trail) paid off, as the ratings hit a high note.

Per Variety, the series wrapped up its run on April 7 with 12.69 million total viewers, per Nielsen live+7 multiplatform numbers.

While that’s slightly down from its freshman run finale, which hit 12.79 million viewers in February 2025, it’s way up from the season 2 premiere with 11.99 million viewers.

And it’s proof that the show has staying power, continuing to draw in eyeballs who remain invested in the series.

The outlet noted that the numbers were the best since February, “up 137% vs. the show’s live+same day average of 5.36 million viewers,” adding, “That multiplatform number is up 137% vs. the show’s live+same day average of 5.36 million viewers.”

The multiplatform ratings have the series tied with the success of CBS’s newest hit, Marshals.

This is great news for Olson and the cast, who celebrated the achievement on Instagram Story, thanking the fans for their loyalty.

The season finale packed in plenty of developments. In addition to Wagner’s potential demise (either way, he is leaving the series as a series regular, so if he survives, he’ll only return in a guest star capacity), Detective Karadec (Daniel Sunjata) experienced the ultimate heartache and betrayal with Lucia’s involvement in a murder. It was a twist of events that brought Karadec and Morgan even closer together.

High Potential is living up to its name and proving there’s plenty of store left to tell when it comes to this single mom and her special set of skills.

Re-live the glory of the season 2 finale—and the steamy kiss between Wagner and Morgan in the penultimate episode as you patiently wait for season 3 to return, hopefully in the early fall.

What Happened to Maggie Lockwood on ‘Chicago Med’?

When Chicago Med Season 11 premiered on Wednesday, Oct. 1, there was one key character missing—Maggie Lockwood.

Played by Marlyne Barrett, the NBC drama briefly mentioned that charge nurse Maggie was taking some time away from Gaffney Chicago Medical Center, causing concern amongst fans.

Where Was Maggie Lockwood on the Chicago Med Season 11 Premiere?

Back in August, People reported that the actress would be taking a step back from the series, with the exit being teased as “temporary” by Deadline.

Marylyne Barrett’s Health Battle

While no reason was provided for her absence, Barrett previously battled uterine and ovarian cancer. By September 2024, she revealed she was in “complete remission” just in time for the franchise’s 10th season.

She was first diagnosed in July 2022, with NBC reporting she underwent 30 rounds of chemotherapy.

Following her positive news, Barrett told People, “I feel fantastic,” adding, “It’s a bittersweet celebration because you’re getting to know yourself, post-such an experience. You’re getting to know your body again, you’re getting to know yourself, so you’re celebrating with deep gratefulness.”

**Will Any Other Original Cast Members Join Chicago Med Season 11?**

Yes! Dr. Will Halstead (played by Nick Gehlfuss) is expected to appear on Chicago Med Season 11 as a guest star, though it’s unclear during which episode. He was a staple on the medical drama since the premiere in 2015, and for eight years up until his exit in 2023, so fans will be thrilled to see him at Gaffney once again. Maybe he’s visiting Hannah and the baby?! Only time will tell.
