Begin dictation.
Television series can be addictive, especially when you have Netflix or Hulu. Here is what happened to me. I get interested in a show that might have for five or six seasons. Then I get to the penultimate season. Of course, the last and current season is not going to be available for streaming because it is still being shown on television or cable.
But what gets me is they even cut off the penultimate season. This gives me rather irritated because that's not made clear in the advertising from Netflix, Hulu or even Amazon.

Am I the only one who feels he has been cheated? If I try going to the official website, they tell me I have to buy the entire season for something like $45. That's effectively about two dollars per episode. So I must wait a year,. Eventually the penultimate season will show up on one of the streaming sites.

Meanwhile, I'm going to lose my interest in the show altogether.
But maybe there's something I just don't understand. Is there a way to see this second last season for free? Is there some way to get out of actually buying the season from Amazon or some other such site that sells the episodes one by one?

It just doesn't seem fair. It's like drug addiction. They GIVE you free samples and then you have to pay for the rest. No, I am not a drug addict. My addiction is watching television over my computer. Am I the only one?
What can I do?
Does it do any good to COMPLAIN?
And no, I don't WANT to use any of those illegal sites for downloading stuff.

Should I have posted this is Don's Bar and BEG for a cyber beer?
