I started watching TV in Italian when I was a third of the way down the duolingo tree --> I think you can do it.
What I did in the early stages when my comprehension of Italian was almost zero was:
1. Pick easy shows (dramas or action with dialogue that's on the easy side -- no slang, no irony, no fast-talking geniuses).
2. Watch it in Italian with Italian subtitles.
3. If I hit a scene where I didn't understand, roll it back and switch to English for that one scene, then watch it in Italian again.
4. Carry on. If I enjoyed the episode but felt I didn't understand it sufficiently, watch it again.
Netflix is enormously helpful here because of how easily you can roll back and toggle different subtitles (or even audio tracks if necessary).
When I started with zero comprehension I had to roll back and re-watch almost every scene. But after 100 hours, that dropped to 50%. And after 200 hours, maybe 25%. Somewhere around 200 or 250 hours I turned off all the subtitles too. Nowadays I re-watch a scene maybe once every three episodes.
