I hope they replace it with something more accurate. The issue I've had with their Netflix Original label is that they've included both their Netflix-produced content and their licensing-based exclusives as Netflix Originals, which I feel is very misleading. In terms of the license-based exclusives, they should have called them exactly that, Exclusive and leave the Netflix Originals for content they've had a hand in producing. Otherwise, it gives Netflix viewers the false impression that everything under the Netflix Original label is somehow produced by Netflix, which is simply not true. But Netflix never made a clear distinction in labeling their content.
Part of the issue relates to how they've treated the label, throwing both their produced content and licensed-based exclusive under one label which has created the issue of exclusive content of such varying quality, thus diluting the brand. The other thing is that Netflix is a truly global brand in the sense that there are many countries it has to cater to and provide content of varying languages, and rather than produce that content, they might license it as an exclusive, which then might get marketed in other markets as a Netflix Original.
We saw this at work when Netflix got the international license for Star Trek Discovery early on, though they might have put money towards its production too. This all changed when Paramount made plans to launch Paramount+.
Other examples would include the more recent version of Anne of Green Gables, Anne with an E. In Canada, this was a CBC show while Netflix picked up international exclusive rights for it and labeled as a Netflix Original. Another example would be the first three seasons of Snowpiercer. Again, not a Netflix produced show, but Netflix at one point had picked up the international streaming rights and called it a Netflix Original in those markets.
Using this tactic, they were able to bolster their 'original' content.

We can also give similar examples of local shows and movies produced outside the United States, starring local actors whose native language is not English.
Mid century modern was cancelled a while back, but I missed the news.
Is it really "news"?
Sitcom where three Gay Men in their 50s(??) share a large house together.
Obviously an updated unlicensed re-imagining of the Golden Girls.
Maybe they should have called it The Golden Boys?
Which makes me unpleasantly think of watersports, so maybe it's less troublesome to not change the name, but then how much would it cost to buy the license?

We liked that show. Pretty broad humor, but really enjoyable.
Reminds me of the old "direct-to-DVD/home video" - although no official labels there, though everyone knew.
Right, exactly. Local shows that Netflix licenses out to say they have local content and support the local industry, but on the flipside allows Netflix to claim as original in other markets.
Might be exactly what happened with the Squid Game and Money Heist just to use examples off the top of my head.
That is likely seeing is how they have been holding back on it's release date for years. If people do like the character though he could maybe show up I would think in other movies or shows.

I wonder if this means streaming services are finally learning that they can't keep cancelling and pulling shows when a + gives off a perceived value.

Could they hurry up and give us a release date for For All Mankind already
