Netflix Originals Taking a Stand!

Welcome to November’s entry into the Showbiz Overdo. Each month we select a new topic and have a discussion regarding the entertainment industry. This month we have a list of original programs distributed by Netflix. Show’s such as Hemlock Grove, House of Cards, Borgia, and Orange is the New Black showcase Netflix as a production company. Netflix has become a household brand in the United States and their now reaching for a global market. Just recently Netflix has expanded their market to most European countries including here in Germany. Although the film selection that Germany has compared to the American archive is vastly different. It’s safe to say that Netflix is becoming a driven force for online media consumption.

One area that separates Netflix from their competitors is their ever-expanding archive of original television series and films. Just this year Netflix has released Penny Dreadful, From Dusk Till Dawn, The Killing, and Peaky Blinders as the latest Netflix Original series. The brand itself is starting to build a reputation. Some of the most successful products that Netflix has to offer come from their in house productions. Original content adds to the exclusivity, uniqueness, and customer satisfaction. Customers are able to create brand loyalty with Netflix because they are aware that they will only see certain shows if they are willing to have subscription to Netflix.


Netflix also understands that they can target different genre’s to gain a following from a wider variety of audiences. So each original series targets a different genre. If you are currently a fan of Netflix Originals then rest assure knowing that Netflix plans to release several new series and films over the course of the next few years. Whatever your preference in genre, Netflix has comedy, animation, drama, thrillers, and documentaries, talk shows, crime drama and superhero. Yes this is true, Netflix has even teamed up with the Marvel Universe and will be developing a series based off of the comic book character Daredevil that is scheduled to be release in 2015. Netflix Originals are gradually becoming the best product Netflix has to offer.
