The same origin policy applies to HTTP requests issued from within code loaded with pages from remote sites. That code is disallowed by the machine from issuing new requests for content from different domains, under the assumption that you, the user in control, were OK with fetching content from haxors.r.us, but you wouldn't want that site to issue HTTP requests to bankofamerica.com without your say-so. However, the browser should allow you, the user in control, to issue HTTP requests to anywhere. Indeed, with Humanity fading in the shadow of the Machine, I demand it. I demand it!
You can make requests to that URL from your server, and then pass along the response to your code on the client (after any sort of filtering or extraction your server code may choose to do). Alternatively, Netflix may support a JSONP API, which would allow your client-side code to issue GET requests as script fetches, with results to be interpreted as Javascript code.
Also it should be noted that this policy has nothing at all to do with jQuery itself. It's a basic security rule on the XMLHttpRequest mechanism.
