Here’s a little secret: if you’re only watching American shows, you’re missing out on some amazing TV.

If you’re looking to broaden your horizons, Netflix has a vast collection of foreign language titles that will inspire you to get your Rosetta Stone on. Netflix has stacked its library with international titles of all kinds — foreign crime dramas, soaps, light-hearted comedies, and more — so no matter your globally-inspired needs, you’ll find something great to stream on your favorite platform.

International crime dramas are a particular strength of our friends abroad, and Netflix has those titles a-plenty. Interested in a Netflix Original? Check out Suburra: Blood on Rome, an Italian drama about the seedy underbelly of Catholic priests, politicians, and mafia members, or Babylon Berlin, a fun German series about Berlin’s Weimar Republic days. Or perhaps you’d like something that first aired on an international network but has since migrated over to Netflix. Don’t miss The Returned, a French crime drama that inspired an American series of the same name.

Are you looking for something a little lighter? Netflix also has plenty of international comedies available to stream. Two highlights include the Japanese series Kantaro: The Sweet Tooth Salaryman, about a hungry businessman, and Call My Agent!, a French take on Entourage (but with more women).

With all this great content to choose from, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s where we Decider comes in. They’ve culled through Netflix’s vast library to find the best of the best — the crème de la crème, as the French say — so you’ll be armed with all the necessary info before you begin your international binge-watch. These are the 17 best foreign language series on Netflix, ranked by their Season 1 Rotten Tomatoes Critic Scores.
