We don't have the 4th season of House of Cards on Netflix in Germany (and I also think other European countries), because they sold the rights to Sky. This is why I quit my Netflix subscription.
Netflix sold their own series to Sky and didn't offer it to their own customers? I am happy I quit my Netflix account months ago.
They sold it to sky way before they joined the german market.
Which I understand they had to, but they did a poor job explaining that. Afaik, only after lots of people rage-quit their accounts they kind of explained what happened...
