It's not in their example list, but I would assume this includes Peaky Blinders, right?

wow. that would be a massive let down for them. if this is true, amazon should be chopping at the bit to get that contract.

This is bad for Netflix. I'll be using only Amazon if this happens.

Come on, guys. Peaky Blinders is a netflix original. Just because a show has Brits in it does not make it a BBC show.


As for the rest of you. Watch the IT Crowd while you can.

Peaky blinders is not a Netflix original. It's a bbc show. It's an original in the fact that they are the only ones delivering it to the United states. But it's not like lillyhammer and house of cards

not really, it airs in the UK first. Netflix just slapped the "Original" stamp on there for streaming in the U.S.

I'm pretty sure it even says BBC on the title screen.

Netflix acquired rights to streaming for it separately I believe. I was wondering the same thing but as one of their "Netflix Originals" I don't believe it applies to it.

Black Mirror isn't a BBC series.
