Netflix

Netflix is the largest global subscription streaming service, and its heavy investment in original series and films is what distinguishes its catalogue from licensed-content competitors.

Its library differs substantially by country because of regional licensing, so the same subscription shows different titles depending on where you are — a frequent source of confusion when a recommended show appears unavailable.

Plans differ mainly by resolution and simultaneous streams, with an ad-supported tier available in many markets at a lower price. Downloads for offline viewing are supported on mobile.
