If this show isn't available to buy in the Playstore, why is it listed? You must have a deal with Hulu,to make more money. Was able to buy S.5 on the Amazon App. AND i got it $7 cheaper.

Best show on earth. Never understood why Google only has seasons 1-4 available 🤷🏾‍♂️. Had been waiting for years for them to get the rest of the seasons within their catalog to no avail. If you hurry up, Amazon has all the rest of the seasons (including the newer ones) for $10 each on Prime Video.
