One of the best things about Netflix is that it gives you the ability to travel the world.
The streaming giant has a growing library of international titles that make it easy to watch a foreign show or movie with just the click of a button.
There’s a solid collection of Turkish and Korean TV shows, but my personal favorite is Spanish-language shows.
There’s just enough drama and excitement in them to keep you on the edge of your seat!
Turn on the written subtitles and enjoy!
