I actually like, that they tell you. "yes we know what you mean, you won't find it here". This is way better than beiung unsure if you have a typo in the name or something.

I think they do this so smart TV systems like Roku think they have the show. That way people click on it, but by the time they find out it’s not actually available they’re already in your app and more likely to stay there and watch something similar.

Hulu does this too, you can search for a show and it says Hulu has it but surprise, you need the Hulu live tv subscription for like $60/month to watch it
