I want to point out a hilarious yet sad reality of TV in Canada.

So this new show 'Between' is being advertised by CityTV as a hot new show only available through them.

Here's the thing.. It's a Netflix original. SO this show, which is produced by a third party who then sells off broadcasting rights in each country, is a Netflix ONLY show in the US, and a CityTV show in Canada.

I guess one could blame Netflix Canada for not willing to put up the money City was, but this is the sort of thing Canadians hate.

Two more things:

Yes, I have US Netflix.

This show looks terrible, so at least we're not missing out on something good.
