    There doesn’t seem to be a way to filter on availability of language subtitles.

    I can open any movie and see if it’s subtitles and if so what languages.

    But if I want a filter that says ‘show me only movies with Spanish subtitles’ I can’t do it on either AppleTV nor Netflix.

    Shocking to me because (1) the demand for such a feature must be immense, and (2) it’s a straightforward application of basic database technology that is now 6 decades old.

    I’d be happy to find out I’m wrong about this but complaints on the internet seem to bear it out.

      Maybe you overestimated the general population's appetite for foreign films/series?

          https://www.netflix.com/browse/audio

          Then

            Maybe the key is the web version rather than the app. Thanks copper.
