Really interesting data. I think you are on target asking if Netflix only reaches a limited audience in MENA which is looking for international content. Netflix has been increasing their offering of Arabic language movies and series but I don't see any in these top 10 lists. I think there are two things going on: first is that Netflix subs in MENA are a self-selecting high-income minority, and second that these Netflix subs turn to other sources for their Arabic films and dramas. I will be interesting to check this data again during Ramadan. Also -- is there any per-country breakdown of Netflix's MENA sub numbers?
