Final Thoughts
Once upon a time, Netflix arrived on the streaming platform, and the rest, as they say, is history. The next few years will be interesting to watch as Apple, Amazon, Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max, compete for market share.
That said, Netflix is unavailable in countries like China, Syria, North Korea, Crimea, and, most recently, Russia, where it has suspended streaming. Still, that need not prevent you from watching your favorite films and interactive shows. Find out how to access Netflix in your country.
