Frequency TV show - Not on Netflix in the US?

[Eug]

Just wondering. I watched half an episode of Frequency on Netflix in Canada. Now I'm in the US of A and want to watch the rest of the episode and I can't find that at all on Netflix. When I search for it, it gives me the movie, and the TV show is nowhere to be found. Is it not available on Netflix USA?

Doesn't look like it. Different streaming rights in different countries.

^^^ Here we go:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_(TV_series)#Broadcast

Netflix acquired the exclusive broadcast rights to Frequency in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Oceania, Netherlands, Nordics, South Asia, South-East Asia and Mongolia, adding new episodes to its platform less than a day after their original U.S. broadcast.

That explains it. The good news I can now just watch it on CW. This was not available to me in Canada.

BTW, regarding the movie, Netflix USA didn't actually give me the movie. It just said it was available on Netflix DVD. I had forgotten that still existed.

AFAIK it hasn't hit Netflix and I'm not sure if it will, it's still in the first season here.

As mentioned, it's on Netflix in Canada (and elsewhere). The Wikipedia link says Netflix acquired the rights to it outside the US. The interesting thing about it is that since it's airing a day after the US broadcast airing, it's released weekly. So no binge watching unless you wait.

The new CW app works well and the show is OK.
