You can use a proxy to get US Netflix, but that's illegal and doesn't work with a smart TV.
This is by no means a good solution, and perhaps still illegal, but it does work. I used to do that for Pandora:
You can run a VPN client on your router connected to a server in the US and add routes for Netflix to go through that connection. That way all devices on your home network should be able to connect to Netflix.
Or some other geo-ip-restricted service. You just need to sniff out their IP blocks.
You set it to reconnect automatically and it's not even that inconvenient. Although you do have to pick networking up as a hobby.
