I'm glad someone else picked up on this! Lots of the Netflix Originals aren't by Netflix at all. In Australia, The Expanse is a "Netflix Original", even though in America it's on Amazon Prime Video and was made by SyFy. Glitch is a "Netflix Original" in the US, but it was made by ABC Australia. And we have Designated Survivor as a Netflix Original in Australia, even though it's made by ABC Studios and currently airing on ABC in the US. It seems Netflix Original now just means "currently Netflix holds exclusive rights to this show in your country".

> Glitch is a "Netflix Original" in the US, but it was made by ABC Australia. Netflix is on the production team for the second season. > It seems Netflix Original now just means "currently Netflix holds exclusive rights to this show in your country". That's not really out-of-line with current industry norms though. Larger production companies buy the rights to films made by smaller production companies and put their names on them all the time. For example, Moon comes to mind. Sony didn't produce it but it's a "Sony Picture". Or Primer, StudioCanal had nothing to do with the production but is currently listed as the production company.
