 Hi,

 A few days ago Google News carried this:
 http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/easily-enable-silverlight-watch-netflix-linux/

 I tried it and it works as advertized, an easy installation and
 Netflix works.

 IMO the latter is overrated: mostly old hat hu hum movies.

Thanks!  It's very nice to have netflix available at last!  You're
right, it is overrated, but it's what's available; it seems to me like
it was better a few years ago.  It looks like a pay-per-play model is
winning this particular battle.  It's really unfortunate that
non-DRM-encumbered files seem to be losing (when they pretty much won
the audio content battle, I had high hopes).

Thank you for the heads-up! I can confirm that this works fine in
iceweasel on wheezy under 64/32-bit multiarch after just a few minutes'
reading and fiddling.

Here in the UK they have things like Archer and Breaking Bad which can
be fun; they also have a reasonable amount of anime. There isn't a lot
of good stuff, though: I can't compellingly rebut your impression.
