Best TV shows past and present (netflix must watch)

[warpus]

I loved Earth 2 because I'm a big fan of the "Colonists/survivors trying to survive on a mysterious island/planet/place" trope. But the aliens ruined it for me, so I wasn't super bummed out when it got cancelled. But I mean, I did watch all the episodes, so it was depressing nevertheless.

Yeah, I think any recommendations any of us make have to include the unwritten caveat "...in my country." Global licensing rights are a patchwork; even one particular service like Netflix is obligated to allow only certain content in certain countries, or to pay different licensing fees for different markets, even for the same show. I think the business side of television is all a bit of a mess right now.

Barely a few hours after writing this, I read...

Netflix Intends to Stop Subscribers Using International Unblockers

By Alex Osborn - ign.com - 14 Jan 2016

Netflix users will soon be unable to use proxies or unblockers to access content that's currently unavailable in their country.

According to VP of content delivery architecture David Fullagar, the company will be enforcing this new restriction within the next few weeks. As such, those using international unblockers will no longer be able to circumvent country-based content licensing restrictions. [cont.]

Aaaand that's how you lose a ton of Netflix subscribers in Canada.
