I don't know if I've watched every Netflix produced show. But of the ones I have seen this is easily the best. House Cards is up there if we're just comparing S1 to S1. Bloodline could fall right off a cliff if S2 is a disaster.

The Fall is one of their best. That is Netflix produced, right?

I just looked them all up and realized that I have never watched more than the first episode of any Netflix series. Huh.

Better Call Saul is categorized as a "Netflix original" everywhere but in the US, so that would be my pick.

I thought that was a British show that Netflix picked up for distribution in America.

I guess Netflix has an international distribution deal with AMC for Better Call Saul and it just lumps it in under the "Netflix original" banner. New episodes are posted every week, the morning after they air on AMC.

Oh. Well then Narcos or Jessica Jones is my pick. The seasons of Longmire and Arrested Development they did were fantastic too, but those are continuations so I wouldn't count them as "original".

Was it? It looked if-y at best. I wasn't sure if I should give it a go or not.
