This is fantastic; despite my concerns about underfunding public media, allowing Netflix to pay the lion's share of production cost while public media reaps the benefits (at least in the US) seems like a win-win.
Despite the framing of the Variety piece, I think day-and-date availability is an improvement over the HBO deal, too. In that deal, HBO had 9-month exclusivity for new episodes.
