At Allconnect, we work to present quality information with editorial integrity. While this post may contain offers from our partners, our opinions are our own. Here's how we make money. When Netflix first launched its streaming plan in 2007, it was little more than a novelty. The company was still firmly in the shipping-DVDs-to-subscribers business, touting its new "streaming" option as a cutting-edge perk to a Netflix membership. It would be another six years until Netflix produced its first original series, House of Cards. The show would go on to receive 56 Emmy nominations over six seasons, but it changed the landscape even more dramatically than that number illustrates. In 2020, Netflix is still shipping DVDs and licensing content, but original shows and movies are clearly the future of streaming. Netflix is expected to spend $17 billion on content this year, with 85% going to originals. Even though licensed shows are by far the most popular titles on the service — according to Nielsen data, they made up 72% of viewing minutes in 2018 — Netflix is losing them at a dramatic rate.
5 or higher out of five. We collected both ratings for every piece of original content, with one caveat: We set a baseline requirement of 100 ratings to be included in our scores. Critical reception To gauge how critics viewed each service's original content, we utilized Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer® score. The metric scores TV seasons and movies once at least five professional critics have weighed in. If an original title had enough critic reviews for a score, we included it. Awards recognition Finally, we considered how many Emmy, Oscar and Golden Globe nominations and wins each service has garnered since 2013, the first year a streaming service was nominated for a major award. (Netflix received four Emmy nominations for House of Cards that year and one for Arrested Development. ) However, we didn't include every award in our count. Each event gets incredibly specific with their awards, and we didn't want to give the same weight to "Outstanding Production Design For A Narrative Period Or Fantasy Program (One Hour Or More)" as "Outstanding Drama Series. "
Here is the full list of awards that we included in our count. Why we didn't factor volume into our score Anyone who's ever scrolled through Netflix for an hour without picking something to watch knows that more isn't necessarily better. But it does matter to some degree. For example, Netflix has nearly 1, 200 original titles in its library, while Hulu has fewer than 80. The more original shows and movies a service has, the more likely it is you'll find something you want to watch. That said, our goal was to determine how good each service's original content is, not how much it has. Netflix clearly has a throw-everything-at-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks approach, and we didn't want to reward it for sheer volume alone. What about shows that moved over to streaming services? For shows like Arrested Development or Veronica Mars that started their initial run on cable or network TV and moved over to a streaming service later, we only used critic and user ratings from the seasons in which they were produced by the streaming service.
