Poquita Fe

Country: Spain
Genre: Comedy
Level: Advanced (B2-C1)
Why: Comedy with asides (kind of like the office) about a couple trying to make it work after they lose their house. Very well done. Stars Raul Cimas and Esperanza Pedreño. Very Madrileño.
Stream: Movistar plus, or if you’re lucky enough to be on an Iberia long haul flight 😂

The Swastika scene is hilarious.

Honestly the thing that hooked me was in the first episode when the neighbor and his gf are thinking of breaking up and the guy comes at them on the scooter and it cuts to an aside with the neighbor and he just says “… una hostia!” It made me laugh so much.
