Nicely done! Hi to Berlin! As others have stated, the load time and completeness of the catalog is impressive. Also has - no surprise - providers specific to Germany here https://www.justwatch.com/de

@op: Some background on the sourcing/aggregation process would be very interesting.

Well done leaking our German site... okay, wasn't hidden too hard :)

As for the aggregation, it's much deeper and more interesting than the simple surface will make you think. We've handbuilt a massive, distributed crawler framework in Golang just for this purpose. Will surely share more on our engineering blog as time passes!
