Having a filter for shows by language spoken is something streaming sites should have but I don't see a reason the default settings should hide shows that still have subtitles in your native language.

I strongly disagree that shows in languages you don't speak are "a waste of a potentially good show". If you read slowly or dislike reading when watching shows I understand why you have less interest in them but if you can keep up with the subtitles I don't think you should completly disregard them.

Being deaf, I have to use subtitles anyways, so about half of what I watch on Netflix is non-English, and it's been great

I read really fast, but if I want to read I grab a book (which I do often, I read 100-200 books a year). When I want to watch a movie or show I’m looking for a different experience. Subtitles are annoying because they cover part of the picture, they often spoil jokes and they distract from the actual movie. Dubbed is even worse.
