And they have so many (non-'original') where they only have a few series available at the end or in the middle. I don't understand the licencing/purchasing decision that can lead to that. Seems to happen far too often for it to be different studios/licencors, obviously that happens sometimes.

BBC's QI is one example. I understand new series not being available on Netflix (in the UK) as the BBC now have their own subscription platform. But it's not just that, because Netflix don't have the earliest ones either, just a seemingly random set in the middle, perhaps even non-contiguous.



Seems like a bad example, QI doesn't have a storyline ergo you don't need earlier seasons.


That's an argument for it not mattering, maybe, but still not a reason to do it?


Why would you willingly not diversify your portfolio?

Buy what you can when you can afford it. It seems like good business strategy?
