How to Watch American Netflix in Germany

Everyone loves to binge-watch their favorite TV shows, and there’s no better way to satisfy your cravings than Netflix. The streaming service has answered the call of every streamer from around the world and has given them a platform that has it all – the latest TV shows, movies, documentaries, stand-up comedy, and even a dedicated section for kids. Digital life cannot get any better than this!

Netflix US is blocked in Germany

Call it a bias or compliance with regional laws, Netflix has a different content library for every country it operates in. Because of this practice, users living outside the US miss out on a lot of content that is only available in the US library. This is because Netflix has intentionally made a lot of its content region restricted, i.e. making it available only in certain regions.

Region restrictions exist due to a number of reasons. One reason is that the broadcast authority for every region has laid down a code of conduct that producers have to abide by. Violating it can lead to bans and fines. The last thing that Netflix wants is to get banned in a region that has thousands of subscribers, just because the content was not complaint enough.

Another reason for this unethical regional censorship is that content producers and distributors limit how Netflix can air their content. For instance, the famous TV show The Walking Dead is available only on Netflix US. On top of that, Netflix cannot air the latest season of The Walking Dead. As of now, season 8 of The Walking Dead has started to air, while on Netflix, the latest you can get of The Walking Dead is up to season 7.

No matter how many valid reasons one comes up with to justify the existence of regional restrictions and the unavailability of Netflix US outside the US, nothing tops the fact the region-based censorship is extremely unethical and even against basic human rights. The UN recognizes freedom of access as a basic human right, regional censorship is a straight violation of basic human rights in the digital age.

How to Watch Netflix US in Germany / Deutschland

When a German Netflix user uses Netflix, he is automatically routed to Netflix Germany, a library which is only accessible in Germany. If a user wants to access content that’s present in the Netflix US library, he cannot do so unless he changes his location, all thanks to regional restrictions.

Everyone loves traveling, but doing so every time you want to watch your favorite TV show is nothing but foolish.
