Streaming Bait-and-Switch

Like so many other folks, Netflix and Hulu are bringing a lot of really interesting shows to my attention that I can't imagine I would have ever seen, and that's a very nice thing, but at the same time, many of the series I see on both the streaming platforms are already cancelled - without a word in the description that this is the case. At least then, I'm emotionally prepared to have this be the complete story I'll see.

One of the shows I finished recently was Jo on Hulu. And it was really very good. But in the description on Wikipedia, it was cancelled in 2013. It just showed up on Hulu. But 2013... folks... this isn't on the bubble... this is a 5 year old TV corpse.

I mean it's still really good, but there were questions that were left dangling. And I, for one, wanted to know. But I guess I'll have to make them up myself.

In truth, it was nice that it appeared at all, and I need to count the roses and not complain about it - but I do think it'd be nice to have something about the production of these series in the information on Netflix and Hulu.
