    This has a funny secondary effect in that in some countries they would definitely need to get a broadcasting license then, when so far they got around it, being a video-on-demand service falling under the same laws as rental places for VHS tapes and such.

      Getting a broadcasting license isn’t all that difficult if you are just an entertainment channel. Big German twitch streamers had that problem and while its not cheap, a license costs pretty much nothing compared to all the licensing costs Netflix has.

    Have they considered putting literally any description about shows up? I don’t want to have to scroll through a list looking for something interesting and go to a second website to actually see what it is, and nor do I just want to watch ten minutes of stuff different shows too decide because then I’ve already wasted an hour.

    That was a major reason we cancelled. Now we have Disney plus (I think someone else pays for that and shares with us - I don’t watch anything on it on my own initiative so it’s not my realm) and BBC, and the seven seas. Two legal services seems like a sensible amount.
