11 Netflix Original Shows For Latinx Viewers That Everyone Should Be Watching

Netflix continues to subvert traditional television with its stellar original programming, which includes movies, shows, children's programs, and documentaries. Among the streaming service's substantial foreign-language content, Netflix has a pretty solid lineup of Spanish-language shows, like Las Chicas del Cable and Club de Cuervos, or ones in English but made with Latinx viewers in mind, like One Day at a Time. Though these shows appeal to Latinx audiences, they're so good that anyone of any background should consider adding a few to their list. Ahead, learn more about the original shows currently, or soon to be, streaming on Netflix.
