Netflix produces content throughout the world. Let me hypothesize about which story they would like to muck with. One obvious candidate is, The Visitor, whose surprise ending contains the 'L' word. The ethnicity of some of the characters might also be unflattering, when the reader makes the connection between behavior of the characters and the shocking outcome. In the country where part of the story happens, the government could put a ban hammer on a series production.

The only group that can be safely mocked are members of the Third R**ch, and only in the right context. I refer the kind reader to Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities.
