It’s game over. Spain’s “Cable Girls,” Netflix’s longest-running non-u.S. original series, will soon be history, its final five episodes of a two-part season five released on Friday.

Aired on Netflix from Feb. 14, “Cable Girls’” season five, part one, proved the third most-binged SVOD series in the world over its first week of release, according to TV Time.
