Hey! I recently shared with you some great Argentinian movies. In this post I’m gonna share with you some of the best Argentina TV shows available online.

The only drag with Argentinian TV series is that there’re no accurate subtitles available for all of them, so if your Spanish level is not strong enough yet, you might struggle to understand.

On the topic of understanding what’s being said, some of the series in the list (El Marginal, Un gallo…, and Puerta 7) have complex slang specific to the setting of the story. I’d call them advanced resources to work with.

In any case, you can always sit back and (try to) enjoy. Watching original content can be daunting, but it pays off. Focus more in the action than in the details.

And if you’re a hunter gatherer

A great source of Argentinian content is CINE.AR. Make sure you explore your options there!
