The 27-episode romance drama Shine on Me includes images of the so-called nine-dash line which Vietnam has condemned as "inaccurate" and "infringing upon national sovereignty".
China uses the line in its maps to demarcate its territorial claims in the South China Sea. Vietnam is one of many countries that object to these claims.
Vietnam's culture ministry issued a demand for the series to be removed on 3 January and gave Netflix 24 hours to comply.
A BBC check on Tuesday found it could no longer be viewed on Netflix's Vietnam platform.
