German TV Shows On Netflix


tv and snacks

You know the feeling when you finally fully understand a word or phrase of a song, movie, or TV episode in the language your studying? Isn't that feeling of accomplishment the best?


Media as a great tool to use for not just language learning, but also for maintaining the motivation to keep going when it gets hard! Finding media that you're actually interested in however, can be difficult...


Throughout my language learning journey with German, I've tried searching for German movies, music, Youtubers, and so on. However, I have never had much luck finding great results.


If you're like me and have been trying to find ways to motivate and immerse yourself daily in German through media, then this blog series, covering German movies, TV shows, music, books, and Youtubers, is for you!


In this post, we're covering a variety of German TV Shows on Netflix.


 

I recommend watching these shows with German subtitles instead of English subtitles. This helps to not only hear how the words sounds, but also visualize how the words are spelled.



If you enjoyed Downtown Abbey or Bridgerton, you'll enjoy The Empress. This show follows the dramatic and messy love story between Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary and Elisabeth von Wittelsbach, Princess of Bavaria.


I already cannot wait for season 2 to be out!!!


Watch season 1 on Netflix and Amazon Prime.



In Babylon Berlin, we follow Gereon Rath, a police inspector who is working to dismantle an extortion ring in Berlin during the late 1920's.


You can watch all 4 seasons (soon to be 5) worth of neo-noir action and mystery on Netflix.



This psychological thriller follows the psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud as he investigates a murder conspiracy in Vienna during the 1880's.


Watch the first season on Netflix.



This science fiction thriller begins with the mysterious disappearances of children in the German town of Winden. These disappearances bring to light the dark and supernatural past of 4 families.


You can watch all 3 seasons on Netflix.



Biohackers is a thriller, which follows Mia Akerlund, a medical student who aims to uncover a conspiracy surrounding the use of highly advanced biohacking technology at her university.


Binge watch seasons 1 and 2 on Netflix.



This 19th century drama is about an ambitious brewer whose goal is to build a beer hall that will dominate the Munich Oktoberfest. Things don't go to plan however, as his daughter falls in love with the competition's son.


Watch season 1 on Netflix.


 

One of the best way to immerse yourself in a language daily is to find media you genuinely enjoy. Having many options keeps it from feel boring or stagnant. Let's help each other out by leaving any more recommendations for German Music in the comments below!
