La casa de papel (Money Heist)

When I first started watching this show, there wasn’t as much of a buzz surrounding it yet, so I was reluctant. It was a Spanish show, of which I knew nothing, but… I decided to give it a try. And, I can tell you: I didn’t regret my decision whatsoever. It now sits on the throne as the most watched non-English show on Netflix and that honestly doesn’t come as a surprise to me.
