Yep, this. As a Flemish Belgian (Dutch is my first language) it's a bit annoying that Netflix in general doesn't publish anything in Belgium if there are not at least Dutch or French subtitles available. It's a good thing the original audio tracks are almost always available, but just how limited the selection is just because of their subtitle requirement is sad.
The younger generation here really doesn't mind watching originally English content in English, with English subtitles (or just no subtitles at all). Even content that isn't originally English, I'd be fine having audio in the original language and English subtitles. But Netflix won't do that.
If they loosened their language restrictions a bit I am sure I would get sooooo much more content...
- _stephan 10y agoI suppose this is because they are afraid to upset certain segments of their users. In the German Netflix you'll often see angry comments in the review section of any show that isn't completely dubbed. Maybe they could avoid this by having a separate "original language only" section.

- DanBC 10y agoIt's nice that they're applying pressure for content producers to comply with various disability discrimination laws and supply subtitles.
