Again I think it really depends on what you define as "original" Stranger things is also 'comissioned' and not made by in house studio at netflix. The line is blurry. Stranger Things, Wednesday, Kpop demon hunters (that also got a theatrical release in some countries after its success), all are more similar than you'd think. Netflix gives high-level notes and creative control stays with the studio or creator. I mean they do control renewals/budget/distribution. It's a lot more complicated to say what "is" made by Netflix since they all share very similar productions, they don't really do much in house stuff at all, they mostly comission and sometimes they license which that last one would be say Ranma Remake and the show could still exist without netflix though likely it wouldn't. Streaming is just different from the old media ways.
