A (Not-So) Quick Question

[Blake_Wildfong]

How come there are some movies and shows on Netflix in the UK that aren't available in America Netflix?

[-SharonA-]

They're available to me as I have a vpn.

Same reason you guys have Disney+ and we have to wait until March.

I want to watch The Mandolorian now Goddammit.

[Arksided]

'Supernaural' always gets me... it doesn't seem to be shown anywhere here in the UK, I have to wait and depend on my bro to get them for me. I'm in the final season 15 ep 6.

The Mandolorian is good fun.
Supernatural has been off for weeks, how long is their blooming festive break? (due to return soon I think)

It's surprising what you can find on the internet ;-)

[Mozz71]

Disney+ starts in the UK the day before my Birthday, so I'm treating myself to it as a present!

[Arksided]

I find a lot of good humor and fun in the show and references are so funny. Let alone the drama of what they're hunting and it doesn't take itself too seriously... I love it.

[ummmm]

Arky - have you watched 'Being Human'?

[Arksided]

Is that an episode title?

[Buenchico]

It's the same reason that DVDs purchased in the USA won't play in the UK and vice versa. The TV and movie companies can make more money out of selling the broadcast rights to their shows separately in each region than they can by selling them on a worldwide basis.

It also enables those selling the rights to get local broadcasting organisations to compete against each other. So, for example, a film distribution company can approach Netflix UK, Amazon UK and Sky TV (who control satellite broadcasting in the UK) to see who'll offer the highest fee for the UK broadcasting rights to a blockbuster movie. In the USA they'll approach a different group of companies, and so on around the world.

[ummmm]

Arky - it's a series on Netflix. I didn't think it would be my thing, vampires, werewolf's, ghosts...but I loved it.

[Arksided]

Thank you Chris for the sensible answer to the OP... trust you to know ;-) I did think we were side stepping a bit.

Ummmm, Can't say I've seen it, but will give it a look thank you.

[Mozz71]

Ummmm, I loved Being Human. That is assuming you're onnabout the UK version, and not the american remake.

[ummmm]

Yes...the UK version. I loved it.

I watched another one recently but I can't remember the name of it. It was about superheros. Another one I thought I'd hate but really enjoyed it.

Have you watched 'The Irish Man'?

[ummmm]

It's called 'The Boys' and it's on Amazon.

[Mozz71]

I've heard a lot of good things about The Boys, although I'm more familiar with the comic book it's based on, given that it's written by Garth Ennis. Ennis was responsible for one of my all time favourite titles, Preacher (with the late Steve Dillon), which has also been turned into a series.

Back to Being Human. It was so well written, and the original cast had such a great chemistry. I am probably due a rewatch sometime.
