The three subscriptions available here in Denmark are: SD: $11.46, HD: $14.37, UHD: $18.72 (UHD is a bit of a joke with that birate, but that is another matter).

For low income households that can be quite a lot. Combine that with Netflix having significantly less content in Denmark than the rest of the world, and it might not be such a good deal the begin with after all.

So I guess it depends on where you live and your financial situation.

I suspect most low income households in Denmark are going to be able to afford that, just because it can displace other much more expensive forms of entertainment.
