Cable Girls (Seasons 1–5)

Cable Girls (Las chicas del cable, 2017) is a Spanish period drama you can watch online on iFILM. Set in 1920s Madrid, four women take jobs as telephone operators at the country's first national phone company — a place where their ambitions run straight into the era's rigid rules about what women are allowed to want.

Lidia, Carlota, Marga and Sara each carry a private story: a woman living under a false name, a wealthy daughter with feelings she can't speak out loud, a wife who's outgrown her own home. Blanca Suárez, Maggie Civantos, Nadia de Santiago and Ana Fernández anchor all five seasons of this Netflix original, which ran from 2017 to 2020. It takes the workplace setting seriously without losing the personal drama — and for a historical series, that balance is harder than it looks. Stream all seasons of Cable Girls online on iFILM.
