What's Up With PRESUMED INNOCENT

So a few months ago, I started watching the remake of PRESUMED INNOCENT (the
one with Lizzy Caplan) on one of streamers when it first came out (can't
remember which one, I think it was the Hulus).

I made it about halfway through but with everything else I had to watch, it
kind of fell by the wayside. I remembered it last night and decided to pick it
back up again but I couldn't find it on the Hulus, the Paramount, the Peacocks
or anywhere else. I searched for it through Apple TV and come to find it's now
something I have to pay extra for. It list all the episodes and even shows
which ones I've already watched but it wants $2.99/episode from now on if I
want to continue with it.

WTF?

Is this some new ploy by these streamers to wheedle even more money out of us?
Like a drug dealer, wait until you're halfway through a show and then say, "If
you want to see how it ends, it'll cost ya?"
