i was reading an article about ‘the crown’ earlier and it was produced by left bank pictures and sony pictures. so it’s not technically a netflix production.

You know it’s not something you can even question or interpret. It’s not me saying it’s a Netflix show. It is a Netflix show. Period.
It is produced by Netflix, who ordered it, managed it editorially-wise with PM and Daldry. who gathered money from different companies to fund it, who have exclusive rights of distribution and airing.
When there’s this show you can’t see anywhere but on Netflix, and there’s this big Netflix logo on every billboard, it’s a Netflix show. Don’t bother to find another explanation.
