Netflix Originals: What exactly does that mean?

The piece was originally published at CNET on March 19, 2015.

What does the word Original really mean to Netflix?

Well, it’s a little confusing. You have original-originals — shows created and driven by Netflix, like “House of Cards,” and the upcoming “Daredevil.”

Then, there are also continuation properties, ones Netflix picked up from cable TV and made additional seasons of, like “Trailer Park Boys” or “Arrested Development.” Finally, there are exclusive shows of which Netflix is the sole distributor within the US, like “The Fall.”

Got it?

Basically, if it’s branded as Original, Netflix paid a lot of money so you can’t watch it anywhere else.
