Netflix and other streaming platforms have revolutionized the way we consume entertainment nowadays, as they have been captivating global audiences for a while now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Netflix\u2019s massive catalog varies from country to country, offering unique selections based on licensing agreements and regional preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For that reason, we chose to explore the five countries with the best Netflix offering, which you can still access regardless of your location by using a VPN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s press play!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Countries for Netflix Binge-Watchers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Netflix operates in 190 (out of 195) countries in the world<\/strong>, and while its core programming remains similar across most of them, the catalog of films and shows it offers to its millions of subscribers (232.5 million as of 2023)<\/strong> varies from region to region. That said, these are the five countries with the best and most TV shows and films on Netflix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. United States<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking for absolutely the best Netflix content library in both scope and quality, look no further than the platform\u2019s birthplace: the good ol\u2019 U.S. of A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To put things into perspective, U.S. binge-watchers have access to almost 6,000 titles<\/strong>, over 4,000 of which are films, and the remainder are top-rated TV shows. Not to mention that 60 of those films and 32 of the shows have won Oscars and Emmys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having said that, the Netflix content available in the U.S. has the lowest average IMDb audience ranking, with 6.95 out of 10<\/strong>, a score it shares with Canada. The score doesn\u2019t mean that much, though, since everyone can find something they like among the host of critically acclaimed original series and Hollywood blockbusters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. United Kingdom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The UK has the third-largest Netflix library in the world\u2014around 5,700 titles as of 2021<\/strong>\u2014and they are distributed similarly to the U.S. in terms of films vs shows. However, Netflix Britain has some titles unavailable to U.S. citizens, yet its library score is 6.97.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, almost everyone loves The Office (US), but did you know that this fantastic show has been removed from Netflix U.S.? Thankfully, Brits can still enjoy the shenanigans of the rag-tag group of office workers in Scranton, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rick and Morty, Orphan Black, It\u2019s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Modern Family are other stellar shows that are gone from Netflix in the U.S. but available in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Britain has a rich TV history and globally recognized productions, with an impressive array of British dramas, comedies, and documentaries. The Brits have developed some of the most iconic shows in the world, from Sherlock and Peaky Blinders to Doctor Who.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Canada<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Canada\u2019s Netflix library sits between the U.S. and the UK in terms of the number of titles it offers: around 4,100 shows and 1,700 shows for a total of over 5,800 titles. <\/strong>Also, just like in the U.S., the average IMDb ranking of Netflix\u2019s titles there is 6.95.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subscribers can enjoy popular American series, blockbuster films, and acclaimed international productions from countries around the world, with a strong emphasis on French-language production since French is the country\u2019s other official language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, you\u2019ll find a selection of Canadian productions, from captivating dramas like “Anne with an E” and “Kim’s Convenience” to thought-provoking documentaries and comedy specials\u2014all of which showcase the talent of Canadian performers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you are looking for a wide range of genres that cater to diverse viewer preferences, the Canadian Netflix catalog has something that meets all your needs, from binge-watching crime dramas and enjoying singular Oscar-winning titles too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Switzerland<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Switzerland is well-known for its picturesque mountains, clock-making tradition, and fantastic cheeses and chocolates, yes, but its Netflix offering is up there too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of numbers, Switzerland\u2019s Netflix has over 4,600 titles with an average IMDb score of 7.01<\/strong>. Still, more than that, they offer almost 90 Oscar-winning films and 34 Emmy-winning shows<\/strong>\u2014definitely something nice to watch as you sip that hot chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a reason why almost two-thirds of the population uses Netflix there\u2014the compelling streaming experience caters to a wide range of viewers and includes both international hits and the best Swiss and European productions across all genres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best of all, to cater to the country\u2019s language policy, Netflix in Switzerland offers original content in every one of its three official languages: German, French, and Italian. In addition, viewers are treated to locally-produced Swiss content like \u201cThe Chalet\u201d and \u201cWilder\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. South Korea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With almost 4,100 entries, over 2,900 of which are fantastic films<\/strong>, Netflix has also established a very strong presence in South Korea. However, what makes this country\u2019s Netflix offering special is the number of Academy Award-winning films: about 110.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, if you want to watch the best acting performances with a single Netflix subscription, your best bet is to connect to South Korea\u2019s Netflix service. However, the country\u2019s home products are nothing to scoff at, either! Their films are winning Oscars too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, the standout feature of South Korea\u2019s Netflix is its extensive collection of Korean dramas (K-dramas)\u2014from heartwarming comedies to intense thrillers and historical epics, the Korean Netflix catalog showcases the best of Korean storytelling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most popular K-dramas include “Crash Landing on You”, “Itaewon Class”, and “Squid Game”, all of which gained huge international acclaim everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using a VPN to Watch Netflix in Other Regions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat if I am living in a region outside these five countries?\u201d you may ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is simple: subscribe to a VPN service<\/strong>, install their client on your device, connect to a server in one of these countries, and enjoy the best of Netflix!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that while Netflix does not want its users to access content outside of their own region<\/strong> (due to licensing agreements), the worst that can happen on a very rare occasion is having your account suspended. Streaming Netflix from other countries is not illegal, and you\u2019ll only be violating the platform\u2019s terms of service\u2014something you don\u2019t have to worry about if you are using a premium VPN, such as ExpressVPN<\/a>, CyberGhost<\/a>, or NordVPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll also gain access to a slew of additional benefits with a good VPN service, including unlocking other geo-locked content, hiding your identity and online activity, enjoying fast surfing speeds, and protecting your device and finances against cyber criminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottom Line<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, Netflix\u2019s content diversity extends beyond borders, and each of these countries offers an amazing selection of some of the best films and shows ever produced. More than that, these regions also get first access to all the newest hits as soon as they release! So, grab your popcorn, fire up your VPN, and embark on the streaming adventure of your lifetime!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
