American Netflix

Okay, so I recently got Netflix, and it's been pretty awesome, even the Canadian version. But recently, I've tried looking up certain shows that are on Netflix, but are "not available to stream" due to my location.

So my older brother linked me this service called Unblock-Us.

And there are now SO MANY MORE recommendations and TV shows and movies available. Like, a ridiculously huge number, even after just a quick browse of the categories I'm interested in.

There are actual new movies available! Not movies that were released half a year ago! There are a billion times more period dramas, both TV shows and movies, from Britain!

And mostly, I am realizing what a different internet experience Americans must have when they rarely/never see "that is not available in your country."

  1. Hmm.. I wonder if that would work for the Swedish Netflix. Because I tried it, but was disappointed to find that there were only older tv shows and movies. None of the current, or even last season!

    1. I think it should.

      Oh, hey! I looked, and as of Jan 2 of this month, it works in Sweden! http://support.unblock-us.com/customer/portal/articles/786787-sweden-added-to-the-netflix-region-picker
