In 2018, fans initially fell in love with Spanish crime show Money Heist. The show became the most popular non-English show, despite the slightly jarring decision to redub the actors with English-speaking counterparts. That decision - which clearly was no impediment to its success - aside, the show is one of Netflix's smartest pick-ups in recent years.

It's different - not least because it turns conventional heist film genre tropes upside down and also thanks to its strong Spanish identity - and crucially, it's incredibly well-written. Which is presumably how it managed to get over the fact that Netflix basically didn't market the first season.

The fact that it also somehow survived the platform's dramatic recutting and redubbing is also testament to how great it is, and it's only fitting that Netflix users flocked to it in 2019 too. Particularly because it's one of those rare shows that stands astride multiple traditional demographic splits.
