Good shows or telenovelas that are different

Question

Do you guys know of any good shows to watch that aren't just the same format ( oh poor maid comes into a rich family , or feuding rich houses). Any futuristic scifi shows or or action or drama or even cop shows?

Answer 1

Do you have galavision? Check out Mujeres Asesinas and Morir en Martes - 2 great crime shows in Spanish. Excellent actors, and even better production quality. Highly recommended. For action, i'd check out "aguila roja" from www.rtve.es. You can stream the show live on the website

Answer 2

Sadly, I have the same problem. I try and try to watch Telenovelas because they are great for listening comprehension and learning the structure of common speech. I just can't do it!! They are painfully bad.

I've been going to Youtube and watching episodes of Friends, Nurse Jackie, and the Sopranos in español.

Also, I love to rent kids' movies because they almost always have a Spanish soundtrack, e.g, Harry Potter, Finding Nemo, etc.
