While it's common for growing companies to borrow money in order to grow, Netflix has borrowed quite a lot. Reports indicate that Netflix had already borrowed $2.37 billion. With the additional $800M, the company has a debt load of over more than $3 billion. Still, the news comes on the heels of Netflix's latest quarter earnings report, which indicated that the subscription streaming service made a boatload of money recently. The earnings report stated that Netflix made $2.15 billion in a three-month period. So presumably, the debt is good debt for the company. Still, $800M is quite a bit to borrow for originals.
