As a UK resident, this is currently useless to me. It includes stuff that isn't available in the UK (e.g. The X-Files) and excludes stuff that isn't available in the US (e.g., the Shield, the Hobbit, Up). There is overlap, but most of the best content is region-specific.

With that said, these blocking errors started showing up in the past few weeks, so it's not clear what would have prompted them.
