Error in the lede about Netflix's first production

Currently, the lede claims In 2013, the service began to acquire and produce original content, beginning with the political drama House of Cards. The claim is neither sourced nor repeated in the text... unsurprisingly, because it's false. House of Cards may have been the first show announced, but the Netflix coproduction of Lilyhammer hit the service in February 2012, a fact that can be verified by sources at that show's article. May I suggest "In 2011, Netflix began acquiring and producing original content, with the first scripted original, Lilyhammer, beginning to stream the following year." (I'm avoiding making article edits myself at this time.) --Nat Gertler (talk) 13:39, 17 March 2023 (UTC) Nat Gertler (talk) 13:39, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Incorrect. Lilyhammer was an acquisition that aired on television in Norway first and sold to broadcasters in other countries, with Netflix acquiring the streaming rights in other territories. House of Cards was the first series to be specifically ordered by Netflix from the beginning. ViperSnake151  Talk  14:52, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
The first season of Lilyhammer launched as a weekly show on Jan 25 in Norway, Netflix released all 8 episodes of the first season on Feb 6, which means they released episodes 3-8 first (Norweigan dates at List of Lilyhammer episodes), making those episodes Netflix acquisitions and Netflix originals (although even the earlier episodes were labeled as Netflix originals on streaming.) That this was original scripted programming was well-covered at the time. So yes, with that they had begun acquiring original content. if you want to date things to when they first visibly started efforts, then yes, you can date it to House of Cards, but then the date should be 2011 when the deal went through, not its release date well after Lilyhammer. --Nat Gertler (talk) 15:41, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
