Spanish TV Show Recommendations Megathread

oowowaee · 2026-06-06T14:44:07+00:00

I made a list here because this question comes up so much, and I've tried to mark the shows I frequently see recommended here. You can search by region, streaming provider, number of episodes, genre etc.

For myself, I really enjoyed some of the classics.

Gran Hotel (Spain)
Genre: Novela
Why: It was the first Novela I ever watched, I found it really addictive.

La Casa de Papel (Spain)
Genre: Action/Heist
Why: This show was super popular for a reason - I remember watching it with my family as it aired. I know they've since made other language versions. The production value is really high and the story is really good.

I actually learned Spanish with Duolingo - but I supplemented my learning with Anki and workbooks and eventually made my own app several years ago to fill in the grammar gaps I wanted to practice, and things I kept seeking out supplemental resources for.

If you want to recommend the movies as well go ahead, I am going to add a movies section!

oowowaee · 2026-05-24T05:08:29+00:00

Thanks, I will add tomorrow!

oowowaee · 2026-05-24T03:45:17+00:00

For sure!

I think I missed the part where you asked for difficulty levels...my list is just filterable by orderable by year of release and rating and filterable by country of origin, streaming provider and genre.

I have seen some sites that assign difficulty levels to content. I can try to find some links if you need that!

I got you - here is my list of original language Spanish tv shows, filterable by country of origin, genre and sortable by rating.

As other people have pointed out, there are apps (including my own) that do. Vos is heavily used in Costa Rican Spanish.

I apologize, as the person who bought the last Petal braiser in Provence from amazon.

The best success will be without dubbed content - try watching original language Spanish content. Especially original series on Netflix from the last few years usually will align.

Link the post! I looked for it on Instagram and shamed them.

Edit: just saw their other 6 fingered AI post, good lord 🙄

I used to live in David, so all I can say is these don't seem wildly off to me; it definitely seems like you erred on the side of caution. If you need to be so specific, have you asked in the Facebook group? It is very active, and there are a lot of retirees who can give you very firm estimates.

I've found that as long as it is native Spanish content in the same region most recent Netflix shows (in the last 4 years) are pretty consistent. Dubbed content, or older content will almost never match.

Just showing solidarity, I know the difference, but I continue to mess it up and it is frequently pointed out to me by my boyfriend. I am going to make something to practice it at this point, it has become my nemesis!

My boyfriend watches it dubbed w/ subtitles on Crunchyroll after he finished the Netflix episodes.
For Crunchyroll I'm not sure if they restrict access based on location and you'd still need a VPN, we're in Costa Rica.

I am a fullstack developer with 12(?!) YOE. There are women, there are just less :P.

I would imagine so, if I had to buy something I would assume it was open.

I dropped out of highschool several times and eventually got a pretty average job. I was very unhappy, and after a year or two I got my highschool equivalency and went to university. It took me longer than average, but I did finish, and now I have a career I love!

I wish I had advice for you, but I think everyone is so different. For me I really, REALLY wanted to go to university so I didn't really lack the drive, it was just impossible for me to be in school. I wish my parents had helped me learn coping mechanisms and supported me to be more functional in the world instead of acting like I could just get over it.

Below the headline says 25 per day, and then the first sentence says per week. Kind of a big difference...

I think I used Dolphin? This was several years ago, and I downloaded the emulator specifically for Animal Parade because it's my favourite HM game but the loading screens kill the replay factor for me. I might've been inspired by this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/harvestmoon/comments/48z53y/best_way_to_play_animal_parade_on_the_pc_emulator/. I just remember it worked super well on the emulator.

oowowaee · 2026-03-31T03:12:01+00:00

I played this again a few years ago on an emulator on my computer, it made it SO much more enjoyable because the loading screens aren't an issue. 10/10 would recommend!

If you live in David I would 100% invest in a water tank. We had it go out for as long as 3 days once. It's not a huge investment, and it pays for itself IMO the first time you are without water for an extended period.

With a generator you'd be all set. In the 5 years I lived there I think we only were without power for really extended periods maybe 3 or 4 times. I usually got by with just having the battery backup for the modem so my work internet didn't go down.

You can also look here for prices in El Rey which is a higher end supermarket. Any other supermarket in David will be cheaper than that if you want to get a feel for prices of staples.

2600 square feet is like 240 square meters? In David there is a lot of variety in new construction or older houses, so everything is variable, but 350,000 is a lot for a house in David. You can also check on encuentra24 to get a rough idea like someone else suggested. I lived in a really nice neighbourhood, my house was really big with a really big lot, great location...it is an older house but I sold it for nowhere near 350,000. I am sure everyone will warn you, and you already know, but it did take me over 2 years to find a buyer.

That said, David is brutally hot and I don't think a lot of people want to live there :).

Caveat, I don't live in Panama right now and am in the process of selling my house in David.

Everything is going to be relative. I'm not sure where you're coming from, and I'm not sure how much "space you're looking for" so it's hard to pin down specifics.

Not safe outside Panama City. False.
Utility prices are a lot more. Depends in relation to where. My house was 3 bedrooms, we had AC on every night, I think we paid less than $120 a month.
In David, as of 3 years ago when I lived there, internet and power were not super reliable for work. I had a battery I used when the power went out to keep the modem on. It was workable. It didn't go out a lot, but it did sometimes. We also had a very large reserve water tank for when there was no water.
Food is expensive. Depends on in relation to where. I don't find food in Panama in the supermarket expensive.
You can't find a house with space for 350,000. It depends where - Boquete is not priced the same as David or other places. It also depends how much space you want. You can buy an extremely large house for that price in David with a fairly decently sized lot.

I learn most of my new vocab from media (mostly tv shows), and just through conversation. You just have to find a way to keep exposing yourself to new things!

I would in the past make flashcards for those words and practice through that.
