Staying at home watching Netflix is always a good plan. I have to confess; sometimes, I spend more time trying to choose than watching any show. It is hard to decide; there are too many options, and we have watched already the most famous.
I have a solution for you; on Netflix, you can have some Spanish shows you will love. I must say, Spain produces several good TV shows, and it is shame you are missing them because they are non-English productions. My best piece of advice is watching them with closed captions better than English audio; original audio is the best because you can feel the feeling from the actors even though you do not speak the language.
I share with you my favorite Spanish shows on Netflix.
1. "Money Heist."

Do you remember the first season of "House of Cards" or "Stranger Things?" Do you remember how you could not stop watching until the last episode? With "Money Heist," you will have the same experience or better.
This Spanish TV Show has one of the scripts I have ever watched. "The Professor" has a plan to perform the most important robbery in the history. I promise you this TV Show is full of surprises and suspense. Actually, it is the most watched non-English language series on Netflix ever.
2. "Velvet."

If you like romantic stories, this is your best option. "Velvet" is the story of Ana and Alberto who have been in love since they were kids, but like any good love story, there are many obstacles in their way. The TV show is in Spain in the 50s, and all the character work in Velvet Galleries, a high-class female clothe store.
The first season is the most boring of the four seasons. After season two, the TV show gets better because the love store is not the center of the story, and we can enjoy more the other characters who are really funny and with great stories, and excellent evil characters.
I highly recommend "Velvet." It is a guilty pleasure; also, you have Miguel Angel Silvestre played Alberto (you never have enough of Miguel Angel Silvestre).
3. "Velvet Collection."
Facebook: Velvet Colección
It is a "Velvet" spin-off. The story starts five or six years after the last episode of "Velvet." No everybody is located in Barcelona with a new store of Velvet Galleries. Ana and Alberto only make some appearances in the new TV Show.
In my opinion, I like even better the spin-off than the original TV show. It is less romantic, but we more nice characters.
4. "Cocaine Coast."
Facebook: Fariña
I am not a fan of drug dealers or drug kings' stories. I think these people have destroyed several lives to make them TV starts; however, "Cocaine Coast" is an excellent narration of drug business in Spain in the 80s and 90s.
The TV show has an enjoyable script, outstanding characters, and better art direction.
5. "The Mistry of Time."
Facebook: El Ministerio del Tiempo
"The Mistry of Time" is considered the best drama Spanish TV show. It is the story of a secret department of the Spanish government which in charge of resolving many historical issues (or manipulating the history of the world). "The Mistry of Time" is a kind of "Back to the Future" TV show but more accurate.
The show has suspense, action, and history; each episode will make you paralyze until the end.
I promise you will love these five options, and you will learn more about Spanish culture (you will want to travel to Spain soon).
