Should I watch these in Spanish or with a Hindi/English dub?

Spanish audio with subtitles is recommended - much of the rhythm and menace is tied to the language itself. Netflix India provides both dubbing and subtitling for its Spanish originals; Narcos runs Spanish and English dialogue simultaneously, which is the intended bilingual cut.

Which Spanish-language series is best to start with if I have never tried the genre?

Money Heist is the genre's most widely-seen entry point and is available in Hindi. Narcos is the better show for viewers who want something grounded in documented history. Both are available on Netflix India.
