Money Heist (La Casa de Papel)

Before Squid Game, there was Money Heist — the show that proved a non-English series could become a genuine global phenomenon on Netflix. The Professor's meticulously plotted bank robberies play out across five parts, and what keeps it rewatchable isn't just the heist mechanics but the operatic emotional swings: this is a show that will make you care about a character you didn't know you'd grown attached to. If you only watch one entry on this list, make it this one — it's the reason the other nine exist.
