Huge eyeroll. There was a writers strike. To make up for all the new content that's not available, Netflix acquired a bunch of old stuff that may be new to subscribers.

Old stuff was exactly why I originally subscribed to Netflix back in the day. I'm not going back to check now but I'd consider a deep well of older content to be a good thing on a streaming service.
