- Netflix subscribers in Japan have access to the best-reviewed and most awarded TV and film content in the world
- The Czech Republic is second, South Korea is third, the UK is fourth and Switzerland is fifth
- The United Kingdom comes top when looking exclusively at countries with the best TV series
Japan’s Netflix library contains more top-quality TV and film content than anywhere else in the world, according to a new study by Uswitch.
The research calculated which countries have access to the best-reviewed and most awarded TV and film content by totalling the IMBD scores for every TV series and film in each country’s library. This was combined with the total number of award wins and award nominations and Uswitch then converted the overall total into a Netflix catalogue score out of a possible 100.
Where To See the Best TV and Film on Netflix
With an IMDB total of 27,284, more than 19,000 award wins and over 40,000 award nominations across its entire Netflix catalogue – Japan is awarded the maximum 100 Netflix catalogue points for its total score of 86,961, highest of all countries.
The Czech Republic is second on the list with a Netflix catalogue 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 fourth place, and in fifth, it’s Switzerland with a score of 94.74.
Interestingly, 50% of the top 30 list is made up of European countries, with the United States only just making an appearance in 29th place.
Netflix first became available in Japan in 2015, and the top five IMDB rated TV series and films in Japan’s library are: Breaking Bad (IMDB score of 9.5) Shawshank Redemption (9.3), Our Planet (9.3), Avatar: The Last Airbender (9.2) and Rick and Morty (9.2).
