Netflix UK and Canada have now been added to our system. If your Criticker profile is set to either of these countries, you'll see by default the corresponding titles on Netflix. If you don't have a country set, we'll try and match your location (based on IP).

This is just a start! We hope to add more and more countries, soon!


Yay! I can kill my list!

Is there a way, from a film page, to follow a link to that film on Netflix? One click to view a given title on netflix would be awesome.

That's something that isn't possible right now, but would definitely be worth looking into!

Our new Netflix functionality is out of beta, and available to all users. Thanks to all our sponsors for helping us to test this new feature. We have a feeling it's going to be a really popular part of the site.

So far, we've added the Netflix titles from four countries to this functionality: USA, UK, Canada and Brazil. We hope to be adding more soon!

Wow, thanks, it works great! And thanks for including Canada. We're kinda used to being forgotten by everybody else, so this is a nice change. I am definitely going to be using this feature a lot in future.

Ireland and UK share a Netflix region. Is there any way for us Irish to be included without setting our country to UK? Great feature BTW

Is it updated manually or automatically? Bad Boys 2 left Netflix US 2 weeks ago but still shows up in the current list.

Yeah, we've realized that old titles aren't being properly removed. We've just about fixed it, and expect the lists to be correct soon.

This feature is really useful, great job! Are there any plans of integrating other streaming services (i.e. Amazon Prime) in the future?
