Right now, people are getting very familiar with their streaming services. Netflix Canada is definitely getting a workout. People are even discovering things they never knew were there. As it turns out, the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender has been there all along. The discussion about the newly discovered (and rediscovered) show started when Netflix tweeted an announcement that the series was now available on the platform. This, however, came from the American Netflix Twitter account, and happened to throw some people off. "I’m so confused, I watched ATLAB like last week why is everyone saying it’s now finally on Netflix...it’s been on Netflix for MONTHS or are y’all watching summ else," wrote @distractedbyjin. "Me sitting over here while everyone is freaking out that Avatar the Last Airbender is on Netflix because it's been on Canadian netflix for a while now," wrote @BoxingtonEsq. Both Canadians and Americans came together on the social media platform to express their surprise that Canada's Netflix had something the US version didn't. This revelation that the popular show had been tucked away for Canadians to access any time they wanted has turned into a broader discussion about how much content Canadian Netflix actually has.

"People that think Canadian Netflix is shit need to get some taste. Compared to what it had 10 or even 5 years ago it has improved greatly. It's got 90% of Tarantino and 70% of Fincher. Tons of other notable directors and films," wrote @bopplesheets. Twitter user @bastardstation got really blunt on the matter, writing "Canadian Netflix dont got Parks and Rec so its automatically bad."

I once bought into the narrative that Canadian @Netflix sucks, but after trying to watch shows with @RevJessicaM via Netflix Party, I can say that the CDN version mas many more shows that we want to watch but aren't available in the US.— Kevin Powell (@powe2550) May 16, 2020 Canadian Netflix is ass please we don't even get Canadian shows first🤡— Rose Madder (@astheliz) May 16, 2020 Bruhhhh Canadian Netflix got all the good shit— 🤠🤠 (@brownieeboi) May 15, 2020 everyone not from canada think canadian netflix is so good and everyone from canada think our netflix sucks so which is it— j (@wileymiley) May 16, 2020 Anime fans world wide love Canadian Netflix— Smalls (@ThaBigChris) May 16, 2020 It's sooo good.Just feast your eyes upon our glorious library of content... pic.twitter.com/0UtSN6GiJA— Psikorps (@Psikorps) May 16, 2020 If you like watching programs from around the world & in languages other than english, Canada's Netflix is the best. If you want British, Australian content, AND lots of American, Netflix Canada has it. If you want Canadian stories, especially history & drama, 1 or 2, that's it.— Rob Wolvin (@TorCentre) May 16, 2020 While it's true that you might not always find what you're looking for on Canadian Netflix, it still has plenty to offer, and new stuff is always being added. Still, it can definitely be a pain when the show you really want to watch isn't available on the service. At least everyone can watch some fun originals.
