How come they aren't up to date with the series they show? |
Because Netflix is only £6 p/m and for that price, they can't fund having the latest series on, which would be more expensive than buying the rights when they are a little older and DVD sales are past there prime. Also rights issues come in to play.
Netflix are doing some things a little differently, and depending on rights may be a sign of things to come? On Netflix Netherlands, on a couple of ABC shows,they are adding an episode weekly, the day after it airs in the states. I believe Netflix UK did the same with a couple of shows in the UK. Obviously for that to happen, no channel in that country will have the broadcast rights to the show.
Given that Alibi has dumped White Collar and 5 USA dumped Justified, maybe Netflix UK could do it with those, and add episodes already aired?
