I can’t really say that a lot of non-english shows nowadays reach much more popularity in a lot of country. But without a doubt now when streaming era start to dominate we really began to notice more non-english shows than before.
Squid Game, Dark, Money Heist i think one of those that are most well-known tv shows that are non-english. But i think many non-english shows still struggle today to reach wider audience unlike US tv shows which is still dominating.
People did you knew any tv shows that were non-english and were well known even among Americans and other english-speaking countries before streaming era?
Let alone anime tv shows. Anime had more niche popularity that existed in different countries with some reaching more popularity.
