Movies and shows about class inequality are all the rage nowadays (as the late Prince might say, it could be a sign o' the times), with Elite taking that concept and mixing it with high school drama. It takes place inside a prestigious private school in Spain, tracking conflict between the few teenagers there from working-class families and the stu...
Lupin is a French mystery/thriller series based on the character of Arsène Lupin, an expert thief/master of disguise who originated as a character in a series of short stories first published more than a century ago. The character's also inspired an iconic manga/anime franchise called Lupin III, based on the original character's grandson (Hayao Miy...
For those who can't get enough romance-centric media, Café con aroma de mujer (or The Scent of Passion) is sure to keep such viewers engaged for a good while. It's a Spanish-language soap opera that's comprised of a single season that ran for almost 100 episodes, with each one being released throughout 2021. This might make the audience kind of nic...
Though it's only aired a single season so far (in 2022), Extraordinary Attorney Woo quite rapidly became one of the most popular non-English-language shows on Netflix. It's a South Korean show that follows a young autistic lawyer (with an IQ over 160) joining a respected law firm, showing how she uses her extraordinary photographic memory and intel...
Money Heist is one of many TV shows that signify how watching bad (or at least not great) people can make for great television. It's a Spanish crime/thriller series that began airing on Antena 3 - a Spanish network - in 2017, eventually getting picked up by Netflix, with the latter producing subsequent episodes (it therefore followed a similar traj...
Unlike Money Heist, the revenge-themed South Korean drama series The Gloryhas seen its first season get more views than its second, but perhaps the recency of season 2 has put it at a disadvantage. After all, season 1 dropped at the very end of 2022, and season 2 came out just over two months later, on March 10, 2023. It's got the kind of premise t...
It's no secret that dramatic shows love to kill off characters, as do zombie-related movies/shows. Therefore, the title All of Us Are Deadfeels like it's fitting in more ways than one, given that it takes place at a high school where an outbreak ensures many students are (un)dead, and because many characters do indeed die.

The suspense, action, and ambitious heists continued with Money Heist'sfourth part, a collection of eight episodes that dropped in 2020. Part 3 ended in a particularly hectic fashion, with part 4 picking up with some of the core group of characters in disarray - some in danger, others believed dead, and others gravely hurt. Despite the show's conti...
While spin-offs are inevitably going to keep Money Heist goingin some capacity, part 5 represents the end of the core show, and the main storylines it had focused on since 2017. It begins with the gang trapped inside the Bank of Spain, and maintains a level of heightened suspense and tension throughout. It was already an unpredictable show known fo...
Of course the most popular non-English-language show on Netflix is the first (and so far only) season of Squid Game. This is a show that seemingly everyone was talking about back in 2021, and it's proven so popular that it's inspiring an already controversial (and questionable) game show spin-off. It's questionable because the original South Korean...
