Does anyone know about Netflix's publishing of its own content outside of US ? The trick for me is that at least this could be available to everyone..but for some reason it was not so when I was looking at netflix few months ago.

The UK has a good selection in general, but living before in Hong Kong the selection was very sparse, including from Netflix's own content.

Part of it is that a lot of Netflix's "original" content is actually just Netflix acting as the US distributor for stuff someone else has produced- other countries may get distributed through other platforms.

  The same happens the other way round elsewhere. For example, Orphan Black is a BBC America production, but is a Netflix Original in the UK and Ireland. There's a bunch of anime that is branded a Netflix Original too, which just feels weird.

      We've been getting episodes from season 5 every Tuesday - I assume you only have up to season 4 there.

All Netflix original content is available in France AFAIK. The only exception was House of Cards at first because they sold the rights to Canal +, a local TV, when they were not present in France yet. However it is available on time now. The same can not be said for non-Netflix content : large chunks are missing

  Not necessarily true. For example Lilyhammer is not. Its streaming rights seem to be split between Canal+ and Orange. I think Arte did the original TV diffusion before Netflix arrived in France. Also, Netflix conflates its worldwide streaming exclusives, its exclusive shows from other studios, as well as the shows it produces in its own studios under the same, Originals brand.

In Spain for example you can't watch House of Cards in Netflix due to licensing to some cable channel (I think it's Canal +).
