Jay 37,372 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 It's an AMC original production. Netflix purchased the rights from AMC to exclusively air it in some countries; In those countries, it gets the "Netflix Original Program" tag at the beginning.This is the reverse of, for example, "The Fall", which airs on BBC Two in its native country. But in the US, Netflix purchased exclusive distribution rights, so here it gets the "Netflix Original Program" tag at the beginning even though it, of course, isn't.Make sense?

Jay 37,372 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 I don't understand how it not being on Netflix is the short end of any bargain. Vince Gilligan and everyone involves makes far more money from it airing on a cable channel in the US than through netflix overseas, and all the episodes air here first, for anyone with a cable package, before they later show up on other country's Netflixes.

Jay 37,372 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 I'm still so pleasantly surprised by just how GOOD season 1 was. It would have been so easy for that show to be a cheap imitation of its predecessor, or a completely worthless spinoff only done as a desperate money grab. But damn, it told a very compelling story, was just PERFECTLY acted (by everyone!), and it continued one of the very best aspects of Breaking Bad: That the plot is completely unpredictable, yet never feels like anything happens just because, its always so completely organic. I hope season 2 continues all the best aspects of the show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,345 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I don't think it was always that 100% compelling but the show certainly had its moments and strengths. Saul is not the easiest character to really care for (especially not in the first episodes) but eventually the show slowly manages to change your mind. The silent scene where he is told that he won't be working as lawyer is one of the best scenes in the history of the golden age of TV.
