- Here's exactly how to change region on Netflix
Netflix US
Netflix might have freed up the way we watch content, but it still has restrictions based on location. As such, you can only get certain shows and movies if you're in the right country. This is where a VPN, that lets you appear anywhere, comes into its own.
US Netflix gets you exclusive access to the likes of Parks and Recreation, The Office US, Twin Peaks, Dexter, The West Wing, and The Twilight Zone.
Netflix UK
UK Netflix also offers plenty of exclusives. These are often in flux and changing as licensing varies, but at the time of publishing they include the likes of Doctor Who, Inside No.9, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Spaced, Fawlty Towers, The Thick of It, I'm Alan Partridge, QI, and Only Fools and Horses.

BBC iPlayer (UK only)
The BBC has a wide selection of exclusive content created for the UK audience that has access to the player – for everyone else, you'll need a UK VPN on your Fire Stick so you can appear to be in the UK to get access.
This means a constantly changing selection, but at the time of publishing it includes documentary Fear Itself, comedy Guz Khan, fresh show A Bus & A Burka, drama Oakwood, comedy Matt Berry: Lone Wolf, Frankie Boyle and Bob Mortimer's Cookery Show, and Micky Flanagan's Foxageddon. Plenty of acerbic Brit wit to keep you going, then.
Netflix Japan
The Japanese Netflix selection of movies and shows is uniquely filled with animated delights and more, so it's little wonder that lots of VPN users head right to Tokyo on their Japan VPN before logging into Netflix.
Here you can enjoy the likes of classic Rashomon, Academy Award winner Cinema Paradiso, murder mystery delight Knives Out, The Promised Neverland, and plenty more.
Netflix Australia
Down Under there are some great Netflix exclusives that make a VPN more than useful. Some of these include hilarious and heart-warming comedy Detectorists, classic comedy Black Books, Ridley Scott's thrilling American Gangster, psychological mind-bender Coherence, and freaky horror Doctor Sleep.
Hulu (US only)
The US based streaming service Hulu has exclusive access to lots of great movies and shows that a Fire Stick VPN will get you access to. At time of publishing that includes shows like Stephen King's Castle Rock, The Handmaid's Tale, Future Man, Marvel's Runaways, Killing Eve and Living Single.
Be aware that users need to sign up with a US credit card to access the service, so even a VPN might not work for you. However, if you're a US resident on holiday outside America, a VPN is the perfect choice for accessing Hulu.
Netflix Netherlands
The selection of content on the Dutch Netflix makes it well worth a look. Shows and movies exclusive to The Netherlands include comedy drama Paddleton, documentary Tell Me Who I Am, action movie Wind River, black and white modern slow-burning movie Blue Jay, and tons more.
Netflix India
Exclusive content accessible with an India VPN on Netflix includes shows like horror Ghoul, comedy Husmukh, thriller Bard of Blood, and drama Leila.
Exclusive movies for India, to name but a few are, romantic comedy Love per Square Foot, drama Serious Men, crime film Class of '83, horror Bulbbul, and dance movie Yeh Ballet.
Peacock (US only)
Peacock, the video on demand streaming service from NBCUniversal and Comcast offers lots of exclusive and original content to US viewers. These include sci-fi drama Brave New World, animated family comedy Madagascar: A Little Wild, comedy A.P. Bio, documentary Black Boys, and drama Anthony.
Unlike Hulu, anyone, anywhere can use a Peacock VPN to access the service because it doesn't require any payment to sign up. Just set your VPN to the US and start watching – plus, if you've never been to the US, even the ads will be interesting!
