I'm currently learning Spanish, and would like to watch some shows dubbed into Spanish. Ideally, shows I already know well (US comedies like Friends, Big Bang etc) so that I could follow easily enough. I have a VPN, and tried watching Friends on American and Mexican Netflix, the former only had English audio and the latter allowed me to choose English or French! Is there any way to find out which regions/programs have which audio available?

Thanks!

Actually yes. The problem with Netflix for learning languages is that you have to watch a Spanish show when it comes on to an English region.

Anyway, here is one alternative, but for this I highly recommend Smart DNS over VPN. It works so much better for video over long distances (especially Australia) and you can watch on a proper TV.

* SBS On Demand. This is a public television broadcaster in Australia (financed partially by ads) who started off just airing foreign language television. They have grown to include English content as well, but are pretty much one of the biggest foreign language broadcasters in the English speaking world. The have plenty of Spanish movies and TV shows in Spanish with English subtitles, and they are free.

A quick look and of the 600+ free movies, 42 are in Spanish, and probably a few TV shows as well, but I haven't checked that.
