If you’ve ever travelled to the US then you’ll know that things are just bigger and better over there. And we’re not just talking portion sizes, the same goes for TV releases.
Sure, you’ve enjoyed the likes of Tiger King and Making A Murderer alongside our American brothers and sisters, but if you’ve ever been lying in your hotel room stateside and brought up Netflix on your phone, tablet or laptop, then you’ll have noticed that over there there’s a far far better selection of movies and TV shows available.
There are two workarounds. The first involves emigration and jumping through various hoops to persuade the federal government to grant you a green card. A fair effort to catch the finale of Modern Family. The other is to sign up for a VPN.
