I think you mean Star Trek. Being a fan of nether myself I can see how you could make such a mistake, but others will crucify you for such a thing.


As for the deal itself, I agree that it’s a major deal for Netflix. It will undoubtedly generate a lot of interest amongst a very loyal and committed audience so being the exclusive home of it outside the US is a very big deal.
I’m still a little surprised CBS are making it a CBS All Access exclusive, but I can completely understand them doing it for sake of boosting the profile of their online subscription service in an already competitive market.
