Nothing stops you from asking but I’m not sure if you’ll be successful.

Have you set up all your streaming options on Plex. It has a “Discover” feature where it will try to find the show on other services if its not on Plex

Well, if you go back to [watch.plex.tv](http://watch.plex.tv), click on your profile icon, it will pop up a menu, the 3rd item is “Services”. Cllick on that and there will be a pop up that will say “Manage Services”. Just select any that apply. Netflix, Tubi and so on, whatever is available in your part of the world.
