True, but that doesn't take away from Netflix that they have a lot of good quality stuff on there.
To me, a Netflix Original is a programme on Netflix that hasn't been shown anywhere else before. I'm sure Netflix means it in that context. They don't claim to have made these programmes themselves, and the credits tell you who was responsible for making the programme.
When I see the words 'New Series', I don't automatically think the channel concerned made or commissioned the series - I just take it that the programme is the first of the series that has not been shown before in the UK.

Does it even matter, though?
