Oh, yeah! I just wonder if movie selection is the same, or if in some countries there are more titles. Anyone got information on that?

"For one monthly price, members around the world will be able to enjoy Netflix original series including Marvel’s Daredevil and Marvel’s Jessica Jones, Narcos, Sense8, Grace and Frankie, and Marco Polo, as well as a catalog of licensed TV shows and movies. In 2016, the company plans to release 31 new and returning original series, two dozen original feature films and documentaries, a wide range of stand-up comedy specials and 30 original kids series -- available at the same time to members everywhere." This implies to me that their original content is globally available, while licensed content will still be regionally restricted (and I don't see a way they could do anything else). Unless I'm missing something in the announcement?

  The other interesting thing about your quote is what's notably absent. It makes you wonder whether they'll be holding back House of Cards and Orange is the New Black.

    You're right! It does say "including..." which may mean that they're coming but they don't think they're as worth advertising as the ones listed (although I would disagree). And it does seem they're being purposefully ambiguous about whether the entire original content catalog is going global.

    They probably can't show those globally because they've already licensed them in certain countries.

      Iirc, Netflix never owned exclusive rights to House of cards. For example, the first season was on Comcast streaming as of a year ago.

    At least for OITNB, it is listed available on Netflix at netflixable.com (check for your country there). House of Cards is not listed at all.

Very unlikely... I can tell at least there were differences between Canada and USA when I had both.

I'd guess they would have made a big deal about it if they were able to offer the full selection in every country. The fact that it's not mentioned suggests there are lots of per-country restrictions.

Germany has less than the US one for sure. Missing Attack on Titan :)

Unless something has changed with this announcement, the us version is crippled in the netherlands (which means shoving all my netflix traffic through an ec2 instance, but whatever)
