Netflix has plenty of content to sort through, no matter what kind of mood you’re in. Want a comedy? There are a zillion hilarious movies and TV shows to watch. Love medical shows? The streamer finally added “Nurse Jackie” back to the platform, and of course, “Grey’s Anatomy” is there if you need a long binge or rewatch session. Go wild for a new true crime drama? Netflix has quite a few — including this year’s shocking doc “Unknown Number: The High School Catfish.”
But, perhaps you’re looking for something new, addictive and outside of your worldview. Netflix has a huge library of international and foreign-language TV shows. They range in length — from four-episode miniseries to 16-episode limited series to multi-season shows that have built cult followings that have begged for more seasons. (To fans of “The Law According To Lidia Poët,” “All of Us Are Dead,” “The Devil’s Plan,” “Dept. Q” and “Culinary Class Wars,” new seasons are on the way.)
We asked HuffPost readers on social media to tell us some international and foreign language TV series on Netflix that deserve more attention. And whew, there’s everything from dark mystery-thrillers to adorable rom-coms to brilliant competition shows in this list.
Netflix’s Logline: “After narrowly escaping an abusive pearl farm, a young woman with unmatched talent carves out her own fate as treachery meets the world of jewelry.”
