Netflix has launched its $6.99 Basic With Ads tier in Australia, and it is proving to be far more basic than expected.
To its own credit, Netflix hasn’t been shy about the lesser content offering available on its ad-supported tier, saying “a limited number of movies and TV shows won’t be available due to licensing restrictions.”
While it’s unclear how much of the content won’t be available, pundits are suggesting upward of 10 per cent of the ad-free Netflix’s programming won’t be on the ad-supported service.
Of the big hitters, three Daniel Craig-era Bond films, Arrested Development, House of Cards (odd, given it’s a Netflix original), and New Girls are among the shows not yet available.
