Quick edit H?
That's right, I'm agreeing with you.
I deleted the friggin thing by accident, and could not be bothered re-writing. I posted the dictionary definition. It is not original. It is a retelling of the original story, which is a retelling of the original book. That's right, I'm agreeing with you.
I fail to see how it is 'original', but alas, pointless arguing about it.
On a side note, Arrested Development, which Netlfix took over has 'semi-original series' on a splashes screen, which I thought was funny.

I thought it was based on the BBC show of the same name, so how is it an original Netflix series? 
It's not an original Netflix series.From that link:

Netflix created it themselves, therefore I think they are entitled to call it a 'Netflix Original Series'.1present or existing from the beginning; first or earliest:the original owner of the house the plasterwork is probably original

Yep. I actually think the BBC version is better as well. Although it's good the Netflix version has added stuff for the US audience (ie the buddies/military college episode) which just doesn't work IMO.onesickpuppy said:
