"Subscription Service" not "TV Series!" Deceptive misnomer, unfair.
At the top of the imdb page for the CBS All-Access show "Star Trek Discovery" it says, "TV-14 | 1h 0min | Action, Adventure | TV Series" - this is deceptive. One cannot watch on TV, one must buy a subscription to CBS All-Access to watch. Please edit that field especially if there are other preset choices than, TV Series. The service is $6 or $10 bucks a month. Also, the Wikipedia page about the show - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Tr... - says the episodes are not 1hr, they are between 37mins and 49mins. Thanks!

HBO, Showtime Cinemax, et al are pay services too. Their shows are listed. Pay or No pay, all shows are listed in the database. Thank you. I would not want something left out here.

Thanks for replying Cliff and I understand your sentiment. I just think in the top right the info "TV Series" is really off base. There should be a category called, "Paid Subscription" which is wholly more accurate and not deceptive. What are your thoughts? I definitely wasn't implying removing the listing altogether.

Over-the-top media services are generally considered to be pat of "television", even though they have qualities that transcend television channels and home releases (like Blu-ray/DVD and VHS). It shouldn't be called "paid subscription", because a lot of these services don't require a fee, as they derive revenue from commercial interruptions (just like broadcast/cable television) or donations/grants/endowments (like Public Broadcast Station).

Here are the categories apparently. There are too few!
