This is how big the difference is between Netflix in Britain and America

American Netflix is king.
We all know that the US version of the online streaming service is the Rolls Royce of Netflix across the globe. That's why so many people are using proxies to unblock all that juicy American content that we just don't get over here. We knew it was superior, but we didn't quite know how big a difference there was between the poor old UK and our rich American cousins...until now. They're absolutely rolling in TV shows and movies over that side of the Pond if the latest stats from the Unofficial Netflix Online Global Search (or uNoGS) are correct. They have data on every TV show and movie in every territory on the planet...and obviously they've complied them into a searchable list. Obvious the good old US of A is sitting pretty at the top with 4,566 movies and 1114 series. But you have to scroll all the way down to 49th place in the world to find the UK - with just over half the amount. Still at least we're not in the UAE watching reruns of Emmerdale over and over again.
And that's why the VPN thing probably won't stop until all content is globally available.Most Viewed in entertainment
