I’ve always wondered why some of these shows were done exclusively for the US market and seem to completely ignore how they are received overseas. I believe AD was far better received over in Europe than in the US and one would think that it was a considerable market and would be able to sustain a production of a show.
But then I have no idea how these things work.

The netflix service in Canada still blows all kinds of ass, so this will likely be a “wait for it to air and then download it” type of thing if it’s not offered by the Canadian service.

Awesome! Any updates about AD being brought to my tv/computer screen is good news!
I’m not really bothered who hosts it, as I live in the UK!

Oh, and this is fucking awesome. I hope it becomes a huge succes for Netflix, so we’ll start seing more quality programming, that isn’t hung up on retarded Nielsen ratings.

Littaly: It’ll most likely get released via Viaplay or Lovefilm in Scandinavia.

I am guessing it will find different distributors in countries without Netflix, unless Netflix is eventually planning to expand to those countries as well.

So, I’ve been waiting for this to happen for half a decade, only to have it be exclusive to a service that isn’t available in my country? Well, that’s pissy.

I guess it will be available sooner or later in one form or another, but still, it’s one more reason to be frustrated at the lack of Netflix in Sweden :-/
