3 Huge Series Netflix Turned Down

Not all original shows can land that coveted spot on Netflix, but there are some shows that probably should have. Netflix is known for its very successful original series, like "Stranger Things," "Daredevil," "House of Cards" and "Orange is the New Black" – but that doesn't mean the streaming service hasn't missed out on a few major shows. Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer of Netflix, recently revealed that Netflix has passed on some shows that wound up being huge hits for competitors. "There have been many of them," Sarandos told Variety in a recent interview. While he didn't share all of the series they ended up passing on, he did share three of the big titles that came to mind. Netflix passed on "Transparent" and it ultimately went to Amazon Studios.
