Exciting to now have Netflix officially in Asia (Thailand for me), though its catalogue is decidedly sparse. There's no BBC shows (so no Sherlock or Dr. Who), no AMC (so no Breaking Bad or Walking Dead), no CBS/ABC shows (so no How I Met Your Mother or The Office), and oddly enough no House of Cards (though that's the only original series that seems to be missing here—and presumably that's missing because they sold international rights). If Netflix launched internationally with this sparse of a catalogue a year ago, it'd be a much more major problem. Today, though, Netflix has enough of their own series that there's a decent amount of new/interesting stuff to watch. Perk of owning their own content is that they already have the rights—nothing to negotiate for each new country. Still, for now, the catalogue is sparse enough, you'll want a VPN to get your money's worth from a Netflix subscription outside the States. Another interesting little thing. Better Call Saul is AMC in the States, but it's called a Netflix Original in most other countries—even Thailand where Netflix doesn't have any other AMC shows. Also: HBO, time to get HBO Now in Asia.
