We have been watching several tv series and gotten to season 3. These episodes have been free. All of a sudden, it cost to continue watching these series.
Is there something I'm missing? Is this standard procedure? Is this a come on to get you hooked and then force you to pay? Or, should we be looking for another streaming service?

Currently we have been watching Boston Legal, The Practice, and The Closer.

Thanks

Just like Netflix, Amazon Prime loses rights all the time. Shows come and go. The difference is on Prime once a show leaves, it is often still showing as available for purchase.

... and with some, it's only certain seasons that are free. The later ones often have a cost associated with it until the newest season comes out.

Yeah, the only shows you can rely on to stay free are the Prime originals.

The Practice and Boston Legal have constantly been weird in the world of streaming. Boston Legal would popup and disappear and only some seasons could be bought for a long time.

But they're both on Hulu now. And sadly this is just how streaming is, similar to how broadcast/cable tv gains and losses rights, so do these non-purchase streaming platforms.

Do I close my threads on this forum? If so, how?

Nope, once they're started they go on until they're forgotten about and somebody inevitably bumps it in seven years.

No need to close it. Others may have the same question.

You can close it. Just start talking about women and their ability to carry fictional paranormal detect-and-capture equipment built into backpacks.
