Netflix Top 10: From 'The Protector', and 'Sacred Games' to 'Money Heist', the top non-English shows on Netflix

While some dwell on murder, gambling, and dystopia, others bring out historical tales of families, relationships and generational ties
UPDATED JAN 4, 2019

Netflix is expanding its line of shows beyond the borders of the English language and is bringing in a plethora of Foreign language shows. Netflix International Originals VP Erik Barmack had revealed the streaming giant's ambitious step ahead to globalize television by bringing in shows from across Italy, Germany, Mexico, India, Spain, and the Middle East.

Barmack had told IndieWire the actual plan is to launch at least 100 non-English shows on the platform. "A hundred isn’t really a particularly magic number. It would give us a pretty robust slate in Latin America, Europe and then starting a slate in India, the Middle East, and other parts of Asia." Although American and English shows still dominate the channel, here are the top 10 foreign gems that should be on your must-watch list this year.
