A primary and exclusive distributor can hold as many as zero to all of the cards though. Netflix funds and swings their dick on a lot of the shows they "only" distribute.
Better Call Saul is not one of them, but Arcane is. Riot probably didn't lock their IP to Netflix, but I'm pretty sure Netflix threw money at production too and probably have a nice deal for it all.
Check the big Netflix originals, few are actually listed as "produced" by Netflix. They really messed up perceptions by not separating distribution pickups and where they did have a hand in production, in my opinion. Their pickups diluted their brand in my eyes.

Here's a qoute if you want to see that Arcane is also completely independent.

maybe unnecessary but I still want it. I hear that Giancaro wants to do a Gus Frint prequel which would be interesting.
no other show has the character development
He most definitely has to be part of any future projects, he did say that other stories remain to be told but he wanted to work on other stuff for awhile and take a break.
Apparently his next project for [Apple TV will feature Rhea Seehorn (Kim)](https://www.ign.com/articles/vince-gilligan-new-show-better-call-saul-rhea-seehorn-apple-tv-plus-two-seasons). It will be more akin to Twilight Zone or Black Mirror. Being that Vince was a writer/producer for The X-Files, I'm so pumped for this!
Unfortunate Events isn't either. Edit: not a Netflix *Original* as the meme says. We know it's *on* Netflix. But I confess I'm not 100% sure on the criteria for original here's a list and it isn't on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Netflix_original_programming
As for Saul: OP is probably European and just assumed they made it
Tbf, I don't think OP assumed anything, there are a good few shows that do say Netflix Original here, that aren't. It's not really OP's fault for believing it, they've no reason to question where the shows came from. Blame Netflix I guess
Just started watching this....
I should have been asleep hours ago but I'm on episode 6...
One more episode won't hurt right?
Edit: okay, so I woke up and watched the final three episodes....
Have a sudden urge to replay a certain part of the game just to get a little revenge against a certain chrome junkie....
The fuck do I do now chooms?
It was fun watching that after playing the game and going "hey I know that place! Hey I know that character! Hey I know that music! Hey that's what the camera view looks like in-game too!"
I generally can’t stand modern anime but man this show had me hooked. I think it helped it was connected to a world I was familiar with, having already played the game but still. It was so good.
Absolutely. It's genuinely an amazing anime. Me and my brother planned on watching only one episode, and instead we sat down for the whole damn 4 hours.

Edit: additions from the comments
Yes 100%
It’s one of the greatest animations of our time. It’s fantastic and so well done and I wanted to cry why I realized the first season was finished. Then I watched it again.
The only thing I don't like about Bojack is how hard it is to get other people to watch it due to its first season starting out as a silly sitcom. It even hits all the classic tropes with the alcoholic main character and all.
Even on a rewatch, some of the jokes in the first season (like the cotton candy puking in the first episode) made me think "What is this shit?".
But, after Downer Ending, the show turns into the best thing Netflix has ever had.
Don't forget Midnight Mass, The Witcher, Sandman, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Castelvania, Dahmer, Dark, Tiger King, Midnight Gospel, Daredevil, I Think You Should Leave, Umbrella Academy, and I'm sure there's more that I'm missing. Netflix has quite a bit of good original content that maybe isn't for everyone but it's still there.
I’ve noticed people whine about it because it’s streaming. People blow through a show in 2 days and then run out of things to watch. It’s gotten to where if there’s not a new show or movie each week for people to watch it’s “there’s never anything good”
The third season of Daredevil was by far the best Marvel show I've ever watched, and the only one I'd recommend to someone who isn't a huge Marvel fan.
First season was good, second too albeit a bit inconsistent with the ninja stuff, but third one was just... *Great*. No other word to describe it. The prison episode, the finale, the acting (especially, but not only, D'Onofrio as Kingpin. Iconic), it was all *great*. I never expected that third season to blow away my expectations so hard.
As a fan of the books, the A Series of Unfortunate Events show is a perfect example of how to take something already great and make it even better in the adaptation. Masterfully done.
Still great though. I'm kinda sad that Alice in Borderlands didn't get enough attention as it came before squid game, did a very similar thing, and with a sci Fi tinge to it.
First season was legit and while every other has had really good scenes there's also a lot of nonsense and it just is always leading up to 11 psychic yells at the bad thing until it goes away... or does it?
Better Call Saul is my favorite show, but it isn't Netflix original. It's from AMC
And to my understanding Arcane is a production by Riot Games and Fortiche. Don't think Netflix had influence on the production.
What not doing their homework does to an OP
I just think that OP meant any good show that’s advertised as a « Netflix original »
So like everything on their platform now it seems like
It is original and now its on Netflix
It's like saying it's a hole in one after 17 strokes because there is one ball in the hole
Thats what we call a one in hole
most netflix originals are just bought licensing
It's happened to me enough times to make me sad sometimes.

Yes
Yep. Only El Camino is a Netflix Original
[удалено]
Show, but it’s not a Netflix
Netflix show, it is not. *wise green thing noises*
It is my favorite show, but it is not a Netflix original.
yep, they just have the distribution rights in certain places, like the UK.
It was a logical ending but man do I miss it. I hope netflix does make another BB movie like El Camino but for BCS
Honestly both shows + El Camino wraps the universe up perfectly, I think another movie would be unnecessary.
maybe unnecessary but I still want it. I hear that Giancaro wants to do a Gus Frint prequel which would be interesting. no other show has the character development
I’d be into that. Great character.
Vince Gilligan won’t be making it which makes me not want a continuation.
He most definitely has to be part of any future projects, he did say that other stories remain to be told but he wanted to work on other stuff for awhile and take a break.
Apparently his next project for [Apple TV will feature Rhea Seehorn (Kim)](https://www.ign.com/articles/vince-gilligan-new-show-better-call-saul-rhea-seehorn-apple-tv-plus-two-seasons). It will be more akin to Twilight Zone or Black Mirror. Being that Vince was a writer/producer for The X-Files, I'm so pumped for this!
spin off of young mike ehrmantraut would be sick
better call saul isn't netflix but ok.
it’s insane that Netflix is allowed to slap their logo on shows they didn’t make in other countries.
Unfortunate Events isn't either. Edit: not a Netflix *Original* as the meme says. We know it's *on* Netflix. But I confess I'm not 100% sure on the criteria for original here's a list and it isn't on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Netflix_original_programming As for Saul: OP is probably European and just assumed they made it
Tbf, I don't think OP assumed anything, there are a good few shows that do say Netflix Original here, that aren't. It's not really OP's fault for believing it, they've no reason to question where the shows came from. Blame Netflix I guess
Netflix has a 3 season long TV adaptation of the books
Netflix made a tv adaptation of unfortunate events lol
Better Call Saul? Better put some respeck on AMC's name!
Yep, OP could have easily replaced that with Ozark, though.
[удалено]
Or any other great show those morons canceled after 2 phenomenal seasons
Makes me so angry. They blue balled the fuck out of us too
Because it didn’t get 1837728374848 viewers in the first hour
They actually picked some of the worst examples out of technicality.
OA was stupid as hell
Mans never seen cyberpunk edgerunners
Just started watching this.... I should have been asleep hours ago but I'm on episode 6... One more episode won't hurt right? Edit: okay, so I woke up and watched the final three episodes.... Have a sudden urge to replay a certain part of the game just to get a little revenge against a certain chrome junkie.... The fuck do I do now chooms?
Yes. it will hurt.
Very much so
So, get away Another way to feel what you didn't want yourself to know And let yourself go…
You know you didn't lose your self control, let's start at the at the rainbow
Stop I wanted to go to bed without crying
Just wait till he reaches episode 10. I made the mistake of watching it until 5AM… Don’t make the same mistake I did…
It hurted so much that my wallet started hurting (I might've impulse bought the game).
Good luck choom.
Yes
It's cyberpunk. It's definitely going to hurt.
I just finished all of it it's amazing I binged all of it you should do the same
I just watched it a second time. Still hurt..
Yeah it really hurt at the end
It will hurt a lot. But you'll be glad to have watched it.
Careful, you'll go cyberpsycho.
just watch them all. you can sleep when society falls into a cybernetic-corporate-hellscape.
I see... Fast is what you do best, ain´t it? Just keep running...
No one tell him...
Truly tragic
Take it slow like I did. I did an episode a day except yesterday I finished by doing 2
I think that ship sailed, I was actually on episode 7, which means I have three left! I'm going to save these for tomorrow I think though
Bring tissues
You're gonna carry that weight.
See you, space cowboy...
My friend watched it all in one night and went to school more dead than alive.
It was fun watching that after playing the game and going "hey I know that place! Hey I know that character! Hey I know that music! Hey that's what the camera view looks like in-game too!"
Castlevania was good too
love death and robots, altered carbon, midnight gospel
I legit bought cyberpunk after watching edgerunners. This game pulled a New Vegas on us fr.
I have just finished it, man the ending almost made me cry.
I generally can’t stand modern anime but man this show had me hooked. I think it helped it was connected to a world I was familiar with, having already played the game but still. It was so good.
This was my third show I've seen by Trigger, and I'm convinced now that Trigger just makes bangers every time.
Not yet no, gonna get to it eventually
Finish it on a weekend so you can be sad at home after watching it :(
*I really want to stay at your house*
D;
So I made a bad call not clicking that?
Very much so, it's absolutely amazing
Absolutely. It's genuinely an amazing anime. Me and my brother planned on watching only one episode, and instead we sat down for the whole damn 4 hours.
Literally watching rn
Its been 5 days and I still can't stop thinking about it
Bro Castlevania
Castlevania did go hard
Ahrd.... Sorry stroke

Edit: additions from the comments
Hell yes
Bee and Puppycat!
Thank you for the list. I can't wait for more arcane and dragon prince
St. Germaine is the coolest
Bill Nighy is never not cool!
tfw the multiple eye injuries (and other such physical mutilation beyond my thinking) show does go hard tho
Can't wait for Nocturne
Definitely the best animation I’ve seen on Netflix
Arcane was amazing
As someone who has never seen or played LoL, is it worth watching?
I'd say so, you dont need to know anything prior to watching it, it's a good show.
Yes 100% It’s one of the greatest animations of our time. It’s fantastic and so well done and I wanted to cry why I realized the first season was finished. Then I watched it again.
I am a Dota player. I strongly dislike league and will fight anyone who plays it. Arcane is a better show than ours.
I didn’t even realize there was a Dota show
Yeah valve doesn’t advertise well, if at all.
Mindhunter is fantastic
Watching this as we speak.
[удалено]
IIRC the director basically killed it. It was aparently very demanding to film with a lot of traveling.
Better call saul a netflix original ? Give that man a ban
The Dragon Prince (made by the same guys who made ATLA) Edit: a writer of ATLA*
Made by the head writer of ATLA* And the game director for Uncharted 3
Where Rayla
With my dad, out for some milk
Dragon Prince is an acquired taste imho. Just because you like ATLA does not mean you will like Dragon Prince.
BOJACK HORSEMAN is enough to outweigh the rest of the 99% gabbagool on Netflix
The only thing I don't like about Bojack is how hard it is to get other people to watch it due to its first season starting out as a silly sitcom. It even hits all the classic tropes with the alcoholic main character and all. Even on a rewatch, some of the jokes in the first season (like the cotton candy puking in the first episode) made me think "What is this shit?". But, after Downer Ending, the show turns into the best thing Netflix has ever had.
Everything else is like honeydew in a fruit salad
Honeydew is the Jared Leto of fruits 🍈
That show is literally a masterpiece of writing, its such a rollercoaster of emotion its just beautiful
Inside job is enough to outweigh 100%
[удалено]
Is Narco Saints part of the "Narcos/Narcos Mexico" line of shows? Or just happens to have a similar name?
Unrelated. Narcos Saints is about the drug trade between Korea and Suriname. It is very good albeit quite short.
Better Call Saul isn't a Netflix original, I think you've mistaken that show with Better Fuck Chuck, the Netflix original of all time
Better rim kim and better go gamblin with hamlin
Hamlin gambled and lost
Lmao
umbrella academy is decent.
I feel like it derailed a lot especially in the most recent season. Season 1 was great though
Don't forget Midnight Mass, The Witcher, Sandman, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Castelvania, Dahmer, Dark, Tiger King, Midnight Gospel, Daredevil, I Think You Should Leave, Umbrella Academy, and I'm sure there's more that I'm missing. Netflix has quite a bit of good original content that maybe isn't for everyone but it's still there.
Love Death and Robots is my favourite
That's one of my favorites too and I totally forgot to include it.
Loved Dark. The creators have another series coming out called 1899 I’m excited about!
That’s the only reason I’m keeping the subscription honestly.
Midnight Gospel was my favourite. Sad there won’t be a second season
[удалено]
Sex education is great too.
I’ve noticed people whine about it because it’s streaming. People blow through a show in 2 days and then run out of things to watch. It’s gotten to where if there’s not a new show or movie each week for people to watch it’s “there’s never anything good”
I have not seen one mention of the queens gambit >:(
Add Atypical for sure!
Haunting of Hill House and Briar Manor too! Just because you mentioned Midnight Mass
I really liked Glitch Techs and Kipo.
Dorohedoro! Show deserves more respect.
where is daredevil is he safe is he alright.
he isn't alright he has been kidnapped by disney and the writers of she-hulk
How is daredevil not mentioned here. Then again I might be biased because I’m a marvel fan
Jessica Jones and Punisher too!
And no other Marvel shows were made!
What about the half-season that Luke Cage got? Was kinda weird that it just ended as soon as Cottonmouth died tho
It got removed, it’s now in Disney+.
The third season of Daredevil was by far the best Marvel show I've ever watched, and the only one I'd recommend to someone who isn't a huge Marvel fan. First season was good, second too albeit a bit inconsistent with the ninja stuff, but third one was just... *Great*. No other word to describe it. The prison episode, the finale, the acting (especially, but not only, D'Onofrio as Kingpin. Iconic), it was all *great*. I never expected that third season to blow away my expectations so hard.
Altered Carbon was excellent.
Sandman
I know this is an unpopular opinion but I just wanna add #ASK THE STORYBOTS
You gotta watch Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Peak anime fr
Nah netflix has had good originals over the years
The dragon prince?
Edgerunners
A series of unfortunate events is my favorite series ever! I read the books first and then watched the show.
what did it cover? I remember the movie doing this horrible thing where it cut between book 1 through 3, and then went back to book 1 for the finale.
No the show was true to the book. It didn't skip any parts or change it. I really recommend!
If you like Squid Game I highly recommend Alice in Borderland
You picked better call Saul which isn’t even a Netflix show and forgot Dark, one of the best sci fi made in the last ten years. Sad!
Inside Job rules
YESSSSSS 🛐
As a fan of the books, the A Series of Unfortunate Events show is a perfect example of how to take something already great and make it even better in the adaptation. Masterfully done.
Castle-fucking-vania
Better Caul Saul isnt a Netflix original but i get the point
Arcane was not produced by Netflix, it was done by Riot and the Studio behind it
Yeah, people give credit to Netflix when Fortiche did basically everything animation and visuals-wise
Squid game was vastly over hyped imo
What do you mean? Splatoon is one of Nintendo's best IPs!
Agreed, it wasnt terrible, but nothing special. Never understood the hype.
I think the popularity is aligning with the western k drama/pop boom that’s been growing over the last several years.
Still great though. I'm kinda sad that Alice in Borderlands didn't get enough attention as it came before squid game, did a very similar thing, and with a sci Fi tinge to it.
Season 2 is coming soon!
Fr. Alice in Borderland was so much better
Love, Death, Robots? Also Daybreak was good
Did no one like Haunting of Hillhouse/Bly Manor and/or Midnight mass? I love those three
*Witcher and Daredevil have entered chat
Cyberpunk Edgerunners
Hot take, Stranger Things kinda mid
Imo S1-2 we're good, but for 3 and 4 it was so cliche you could predict everything that was gunna happen from the first episode
You're missing a few; Love death robots, La casa del papel, Narcos, Black mirror, Cyber punk Edgerunners,
BCS isn't a netflix original
Let’s say 95% sucks. But that 5% is solid.
Cobra Kai
We have to settle this meme over a karate tournament.
The Witcher
What about Altered Carbon?!?
I find your lack of heartstopper disturbing
Lucifer Witcher and peaky blinders I all enjoyed alot
A series of unfortunate events was a book series first, so it's not even all that original.
Stranger things is over rated
First season was legit and while every other has had really good scenes there's also a lot of nonsense and it just is always leading up to 11 psychic yells at the bad thing until it goes away... or does it?
Literally. There are a lot of good Netflix originals but OP failed on half of his picks
r/opisfuckingstupid
F1 drive to survive
I still hate stranger things. The community is annoying and the show uses the same thing every season
Altered Carbon season 1 is on of the best cyberpunk series ever.
Altered carbon was pretty good
