Remember when Netflix was strictly in the movie business? I mean, it’s right there in the name – Flix. But like any great business, the company began to grow and look to new ways of entertaining audiences on a nightly basis. Or ending humanity for others.
In 2012, Netflix released Lilyhammer, its first original television show. All eight episodes dropped at the same time and people didn’t know what to do. I think most (including me) just decided not to watch it. Didn’t it star some guy from The Sopranos?
Their first real big show then was House of Cards in 2013. It was one of the first binge-worthy series because it was one of the first shows you could binge without getting off your couch to change DVDs. By the end of 2014, they had four original shows plus a number of licensed series from other television networks. But movies were still the top priority.
