Netflix subscribers in Japan have access to the world’s most reviewed and award-winning TV and film content
The Czech Republic is second, South Korea is third, the United Kingdom is fourth, and Switzerland is fifth
The UK takes the first place when looking exclusively at countries with the best TV series
Japan’s Netflix library contains more high-quality TV and movie content than anywhere else in the world, according to a new uSwitch<\/a> study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research calculated which countries have access to the most reviewed and awarded TV content and movies by adding the IMBD scores for each TV series and movie in each country’s library. This was combined with the total number of awards won and nominations and Uswitch then turned the grand total into a Netflix catalog score of a possible 100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to watch the best TV and movies on Netflix<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With an IMDB total of 27,284, over 19,000 awards won and over 40,000 nominations across its Netflix catalog, Japan receives the maximum of 100 Netflix catalog points for its total score of 86,961, the highest of all countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Czech Republic is second on the list with a Netflix catalog score of 97.61. In third place is South Korea with a score of 94.02, the UK has a score of 93.78 which lands in fourth place, and in fifth place, is Switzerland with a score of 94.74.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
