What is that Hulu you are talking about, we never got that in Mexico (nor Pandora now that I am talking about it).

In this day and age where everyone wants its piece of the cake it is weird to me that they never cared about more countries xd.

It may have been more difficult and expensive than you’d expect. My understanding was distribution contracts tend to be per country. Netflix can’t just stream all the stuff from north of the border, but have to start over with buying rights to everything in a new country

This made more sense when distributors were all per country but not so much for streamers

Another streaming service that started around the same time as Netflix's. More focused on TV shows and now owned by Disney.
