I don't know if I would consider it worse. To me it feels like the morally better of the two — at least you are contributing some money towards the shows you like to watch, even if not through the proper channels.
I would also argue that Netflix could likely make it harder to circumvent their access controls, but it is probably not in their interest to do so. If it were up to Netflix, I suspect it would be available globally — Netflix only has to enforce the minimum required geoblocking to satisfy the rights holders. If some people get around this, all it means is more business and more mind share for Netflix. (And arguably more business for the rights holders.)
