Synopsis

Cable Girls (Las chicas del cable, 2017), Season 1 — a Netflix Spanish period drama, 8 episodes, watch online on iFILM. Madrid in the early 1920s: four women with four very different secrets land jobs at the city's new National Telephone Company.

Lidia is running from a past she stole her way out of, and the man who knows the truth is now her boss. Ángeles keeps finding reasons not to face what her marriage has become. Carlota fights a father who has mapped out her entire life without asking. Marga just wants to work — and then Pablo happens. As Lidia's cover starts to crack and loyalties shift across the office, what began as a workplace story turns into something rawer: four women deciding, episode by episode, how much of themselves they're willing to give up.

Season 1 is the slowest of the bunch, but the character groundwork it lays pays off across every season that follows. Stream Cable Girls Season 1 online on iFILM.
