In 2013, Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos told GQ that the company's goal is to "become HBO faster than HBO can become us." Three years later, it appears that Netflix is well on its way towards achieving that goal, if it hasn't already. To its credit, Netflix a few years ago had the foresight to shift the focus of its business towards original content. By the time 2016 comes to a close, Netflix will have rolled out upwards of 600 hours of original programming across every type of genre imaginable. Equally as important as the quantity of Netflix originals is the quality, and in that regard, Netflix has a tremendous and unrivaled ability to churn out hit after hit with alarming consistency. From Orange is the new Black to Stranger Things, Netflix originals are today what HBO originals were back in the late 90s.
