Netflix, Amazon and Hulu all hope that creating original series will be a way to significantly reduce licensing costs, though the quality of the fare they've presented so far has seen mixed results. Netflix seems pleased with the returns they've seen from shows like "Arrested Development," "House of Cards" and "Hemlock Grove," and now says they plan to spend 15% of the company's content cash on original series moving forward. While some of these shows are welcome, they may not be enough to counter the increasingly fractured viewing options caused by exclusive content arrangements, or the fact that users keep losing content options (like Netflix's decision to not renew their license with Viacom).
