But I prefer to watch English stuff without subtitles, and it would keep that. I find that very convenient. But it might not suit your situation. Can't you add your own profile for no additional charge? I thought Netflix were pretty liberal about that. Although I'm not exactly sure.

Funny thing I discovered at the end of my last period of subscription. When I set my user interface to Polish, suddenly subtitles in Polish (and maybe even dubbing, I'm not sure) became available, whereas previously (when my interface was in English) I only had English, Russian, and for whatever reason Finnish (I guess because I'm geographically close to Finland, but... )

Well, anyway, I don't think I've found anything I like in German on Netflix, although it might be particular to my region, or, indeed, tastes. Only the recent series "Dark" which seems to have generally been praised by Germans, but even then, eventually I gave up because it was simply too depressing. On the other hand, I really enjoyed their French selection, but that's neither here nor there... "Dark" is usually compared to "Stranger Things" if you liked that. A vastly more depressing "Stranger Things", I would say.
Well I guess I won't be able to watch things with dubbing/subtitles unless I get my own account, if it remembers the language settings for every other thing that is watched on Netflix. No my sister doesn't watch anything in any other languages. Well this sucks, I guess I'll stick to music for now until I can convince my Mom to let me use MY own money to get my own account.
