@jaredbusch Is any of it even originally "aired" on netflix?
Not to my knowledge.
I bet they (netflix) have it as a value add that a show producer can pay extra for to have improved viewership on the platform.
ID-0 Just release don Netflix but aired in the Spring season in Japan.

damn.. that seems very misleading then...

Apparently CNN reported on this 2 years ago.
https://www.cnet.com/news/netpicks-everything-you-need-to-know-about-netflix-originals/Well, it's a little confusing. You have original-originals -- shows created and driven by Netflix, like "House of Cards," and the upcoming "Daredevil."
Then, there are also continuation properties, ones Netflix picked up from cable TV and made additional seasons of, like "Trailer Park Boys" or "Arrested Development." Finally, there are exclusive shows of which Netflix is the sole distributor within the US, like "The Fall."

That's pretty common. US networks have traditionally referred to things as being originals when they are just the first to air them in the country.

Yes, but I still hate the terminology. Calling it Exclusive would be great. Original, not so much.
