I've yet to travel to a country where I couldn't log in to Netflix. But the content change, which is both fun and annoying.

That's broken.

My wife & I were in the middle of the new dr who a few years ago, purchased on Amazon. (not rented and not prime, purchased, neither of us has prime)

Go on vacation and we could not access that show.

It doesn't matter how many other shows were available, the show I bought was artificially unavailable. Had I a dvd of the same show for the same money and the same laptop, it would have been available.

(Yes obviously I used a vpn and got around that. My awesomeness to overcome something broken does not make the thing not broken.)
