Can’t blame you for using Netflix since they have a lot of exclusive content that’s really good. And they do support local filmmaking and recently joined the Blender development fund too which is at least some good news.
To find other alternatives I recommend looking up whatever you want to watch on https://www.justwatch.com/ (or TMDb where JustWatch is integrated) because it shows you where the movie/series is currently streaming within the country you live in. I found new (sometimes local) platforms like this and one of them was even free with a library card.
Also going to the cinema is always an option although it’s not really the same type of activity of course.
