I've been putting off having a local copy of the series and movies I watch because I still can access them quickly and cheaply enough in some streaming service, I think it's time to plan ramping up my selfhosted setup.

To be fair, I'm on the fence about this reason. I really don't like for a good show to get ruined after a long run. I hate for a good show to end, but I like it to end while I enjoy it. I'm usually okay with a series only running a few seasons. However, if the quality stays up, yes, please make more!

It's fine to only have a few seasons, but tell the writers that in advance so they can complete the series.

Also, cancelling after one season is shitty.
