In terms of broadcasters, rather than streaming services, there is some truth in this though, as both the BBC and ITV turned It's A Sin down before C4 commissioned it.
Also Heartstopper was a very different programme in terms of tone and subject matter. It was also aimed at a younger, more streaming-friendly demographic where Netflix would be its natural home. So I'm not sure you can compare the two.
