So I signed up for a month of Disney+ stupidly not realising that our content is different to the US content.

So I was very disappointed to find that there is no American Horror Stories season 2, while there are already a handful of episodes broadcast in the US.

Worst still, there is not even a date confirmed for when we will get it.

“Oh well” I thought, “at least I can binge She Hulk”.

So I put that on to find there in only one episode! Reviewers on YouTube have been reviewing the whole thing, so I’m assuming the US got it all in one go.

In a digital world, there is no reason for available content to be region restricted.

Well, there is a reason for content to be region restricted. Someone else having the rights to air that show in a particular country for a start. Until those rights expire Disney can't make that content exclusive but they will, over time.

Also, Disney release episodes weekly.

we (the UK) also have a bunch of stuff that the US don't get... (or that we've got earlier)
