That might feel like a bit of a raw deal for Netflix subscribers. Much of the rest of the world, however, can enjoy Discovery on Netflix. In the US and Canada, you need a CBS All Access account to boldly go where no one has gone before. What's available on streaming services can be wildly different from country to country. That's because streaming services like Netflix make agreements with other media companies to supply movies and TV in specific markets.

It's easy to assume the video streaming services we use every day are the same everywhere on earth, but that's simply not true. But with a VPN service and a bit of persistence, you might be able to see most of what you want to watch, no matter where you are. If you're trying to view the latest Netflix show while traveling overseas, or you want to watch a show Netflix only provides on the other side of the globe, you're in for a tough time.
