There is an unofficial Netflix app based on Wine that allows watching Netflix on Linux without installing Windows in a virtual machine. The selection of available titles is based upon the user's IP address. For most users, this corresponds to the user's physical location.
Neither this package or its author is affliated with, endorsed, provided, or supported in any way by Netflix, Inc.
It is also worth noting it is not endorsed, provided, or supported in any way by Ubuntu/Mint/Debian. It is third-party software.
If you are running Windows/Mac then this is not necessary. Your operating system has native support for Netflix following the instructions on the Netflix site.
If you are outside the USA you can not view many of these sites. for example Netflix, Hulu, Pandora. You need to use PureVPN to watch Hulu, Netflix outside US anywhere in world.
It boggles my mind how netflix could put its app on android and those streaming media boxes that uses linux and yet they can't support a linux desktop. Amazon is different I can buy a movie and watch it on my browser with no issues and this is in linux.

I think you missed my post #5. I am watching Netflix flawlessly on my Linux desktop.
