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.

    Netflix is definitely a leader in original series, along with HBO, but allow their audience to binge watch. Amazon Prime is trying to follow suit, but I don’t think they’ll be as popular as Netflix. Netflix already established an audience from the beginning. I’m not really sure why I would subscribe to Amazon Prime when more than half of their content I can find in other places. So hopefully the original series they create are buzz worthy. Have you seen Kevin Spacey’s speech about giving the audience control of what they want? If not, take a look here… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0ukYf_xvgc

    Great post! I know what you mean about the difference in library form the US to other countries. When I lived in Brazil Netfilx was good. But no nearly as good as it is right here... I guess they still need to figure out all those licenses for different countries.
    As for their original content, I am a huge fan. What started with House of Cards, and now evolved into everything else they produce. Also, I'm very excited to see what they do with their partnership with Marvel. It not only Daredevil, but 4 other shows as well. Apart form the blind superhero, they have "Jessica Jones", "Luke Cage", "Iron Fist", and "The Defenders" which puts all of the before mentioned characters together. Marvel is fully of money and I believe they are throwing it the right way.
    Also, Netflix signed an exclusive four picture deal with Adam Sandler, which I still don't know if it is a good or a bad thing.
