Netflix paid $500 million for a show NBC made in the 1990s — and it’s still better than most Netflix originals

Netflix is home to a great many terrific comedies, movies and TV shows alike. That includes original series like Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, I Think You Should Leave, and Grace and Frankie, shows that are native to Netflix and you’ll never be able to get anywhere else. But none of those shows have become pop culture phenomenons. In the age of the streaming wars, where there are as many platforms as there are fans to watch, perhaps nothing can.
