    The biggest thing I like about netflix is getting exposed to a ton of stuff from around the world. South Korea (how do we not have a burning flag emoji for them) has tons of cool shows, germany has bunches of stuff I would have never heard of. I've gotten to see stuff from Brazil and Bolivia and a bunch of other countries. Most of the stuff is netflix original so I really appreciate being exposed to all of those shows and movies. But yeah other then international (non english) programing netflix doesn't have a lot going for it.

      What are your favorite German shows? I liked Dark but that's the only one I've really been hooked on.

        I second Babylon Berlin, I have a huge crush on liv Lisa fries because of it

        Also Inheritance is Austrian and really good, kind of like a euro take on Succession

        Tribes of Europa was good, kinda standard post apocalyptic show but cool to see how other countries imagine it. And the bad guy is basically an Amazon AI. I watched the first few episodes of Barbarians and it seem really cool, an actual German take on the history of the early Germanic tribes interactions with the Romans. There were a few German movies I liked but I can't find the titles now. If you're looking for some other stuff To the Lake is a Russian post apocalyptic show. Ghoul is an Indian horror mini-series that I remember really liking. 3% is a Brazilian dystopian series, the first two season are really good, the third season feels like it was just tacked on and not really worth watching.
