Six years after it started releasing its own programming, Netflix is basically remaking all of TV.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt might as well be an NBC sitcom. The Crown would be right at home on the BBC. The Joel McHale Show is The Soup with more adult humor. Bright would’ve bombed in theaters, but no worse than Will Smith’s other recent action flicks like After Earth. The Week Of is a B-movie. And, in another life, The Christmas Prince would have aired on Lifetime, and Ultimate Beastmaster would’ve been on CBS. That’s not to mention Netflix’s actual TV remakes and revivals, like Arrested Development, Gilmore Girls, Fuller House, and Queer Eye.

Netflix expects to have 1,000 original TV shows, movies, and other productions in its video library by year’s end. In under a decade, it’s become one of the biggest buyers of video globally. It made a name for itself with prestige dramas like House of Cards and comedies like Orange Is the New Black, and now appears to be throwing everything at the wall to see what else sticks with audiences.
