There are many things I would blame Netflix for, but this isn't one of them. I highly doubt CBS is willing to allow the show on any network but theirs in the US/Canada in order to force people on to their own streaming service. I really hope that their US/Canada viewership on this show is dismal, and the worldwide numbers so high so that they will see that people want the show but not their streaming service.
However, I can also see them just canceling the series no matter the worldwide numbers if the US/Canada numbers don't hold up. "It must be the show, not our wonderfully thought-out decision to only include it on our own streaming service (where available) to force people to pony up an additional $6/mo. For one show."
