10 Foreign-Language Netflix Series You Need To Watch
1. Money Heist
Called La Casa De Papel in Spain, Money Heist begins with a bunch of thieves with city code names and Dali masks breaking into the Royal Mint. They lock the place down, taking 67 hostages and printing their own cash, quickly accumulating millions of euros, with the ultimate aim of escaping with over €2 billion. Outside, a man known only as The Professor masterminds the robbery and confounds the police with his perfectly-orchestrated plan and bottomless bag of tricks.
The show continuously switches perspective from the robbers to the cops who are trying to bring them down, and as time progresses and tensions begin to rise in both groups, it’s fascinating to see this game of cat and mouse play out. The cast is phenomenal, with the eccentric Berlin, hotheaded Tokyo and genius Professor among the show's best players.
The story plays out like a life-or-death chess match as the cops and robbers each make their moves and set their traps, just waiting for the other group to blink. The greatest heist stories involve smart plans, close calls, unexpected developments and bags of tension, and Money Heist has all of that in spades, making this one of Netflix's finest foreign shows.
