As long as Ted Sarandos surrounds himself with people he trusts to make big decisions for originals, Netflix can remain king of streaming original series.
The streaming service is on the verge of being worth more money than Disney — yes, Disney — and that’s a pretty big deal.

Interestingly, a recent report indicates that licensed content is far more popular with subscribers than originals, although Netflix itself does not release official viewership data for public consumption.
