As a global service, it is important for Netflix to optimise its content for each region it operates in. As a result, each country has a slightly different library available for viewers to choose from.
And now a new study has looked at which country is being offered the best possible content library from Netflix.
Unswitch calculated which countries have access to the best-reviewed and most awarded TV and film content by totalling the IMBD scores for every TV series and film in each country’s library.
After crunching the numbers, it was found that Japan’s Netflix library contains more high-quality TV and film content than anywhere else.
Based on an IMBD total of 27,284 and with 19,000 awards wins and 40,000 award nominations across the entire catalogue, Japan was given Unswitch’s maximum score of 100.
The Czech Republic is second on the list with a Netflix catalogue score of 97.61. In third place is South Korea with a score of 94.02, the UK has a score of 93.78 which lands fourth place, and in fifth, it’s Switzerland with a score of 94.74.
Australia finished just above Singapore and France with a score of 87.
Interestingly, 50 per cent of the top 30 list is made up of European countries, with the United States only just making an appearance in 29th place.
