    If Netflix can call an existing series to which they bought the rights a “Netflix Original”, then this dude can host you a free website for 1$+.

      What series are you talking about? Legit asking, because that’s hilarious and bold

          Isn’t the “Netflix original” the extra season they commissioned? I don’t doubt the veracity of the claim but Arrested Development probably isn’t the best example. I guess you could argue it’s a generous use of the word “original” though.

        I was thinking about Knights of Sidonia. They bough the rights while second season was being made, and while I’m not sure whether they also Labelled the first season as Netflix Original, they at least took it down from everywhere and instead put it on their own site.

        EDIT: Correction, as far as I can see, they bought the rights a month after the first season finished airing, and they did call the first season a Netflix Origin.
