On your first comment, of course I understand that not all TV and streaming services are available throughout the UK. I was really pointing out that the vpn alternative was not as appealing as I once thought it would be. The lack of good broadband speeds will clearly affect vpn wannabes as well, and most people in the UK are able to get either satellite or cable services, so I'm not quite sure what point you were making here.

you were clearly comparing UK Netflix to US Netflix, with no mention of Amazon Prime or Now TV. You suggested, based on, the '20 most popular box sets' that there was no advantage to having US Netflix, based on the 'Top 20'.

I was pointing out, of the top of my head, that several notable shows are on other Netflix regions but not on UK.

Now, you bring in another goal post change of including Prime and Now TV.
