So, Netflix opened their new Danish website today, amidst much getting mentioned in the news media, where you can - if you are a Dane - go and rent movies/series without having to jump through 17 hoops to get it from the American site. Of course, I went and looked at the selection and honestly?
The movie selection seems very small and without any particular rhyme or reason. The same goes for the tv series selection - 18 series, mostly fairly new - oh, and the one thing I had been hoping for with something like Netflix, which is legal access to the new episodes? Yeah, how to put this? Dexter is one of the series available, but only the first four seasons. And so on.
So, not wasting my money, as it offers nothing new and nothing I can't get legally elsewhere. Quite the let-down...
ETA: Apparently, the selection is larger than I thought (albeit still no recent seasons) - except you can only see it if you register as a user. And even with a month's free no-strings-attached trial - no. If they are not willing to show me up front what I would be buying, they are not interested in my money.
