That assumes the user remembers where they finished (series number and episode number), and with many shows its hard to keep track.
With Sonarr this helps to resolve this issue, but previously without it has been difficult to keep track!
Are you describing this scenario?
A show you enjoy is in progress.
Seasons 1, 2, and 3 have all been watched.
Seasons 1, 2, and 3 are deleted from disk.
[ . time passes . ]
Seasons 4 and 5 are released.
You can’t remember if you watched Season 3 or not.
You don’t remember where to pick up again.

Spot on… But also the mid season breaks and restarts. Too many to keep track of!

While the colour coding is an idea, it will be something that all users will have to remember what each one is
All that needs to be displayed is;
- show ended / currently running
- show on break
- next episode air date
These were all available using the MPTV Series(IMDb source) plugin on MediaPortal

I’ve been running into this suggestion several times and like the premise. I’m still struggling how this idea will reflect the regional availability of seasons. As an example… shows will sometimes air in Germany 1, 2 or even 3 years after they aired in their original market. As a consequence the same applies to when a show ends… and while a show has just been discontinued in the US, it might be far from ended in other markets due to that delay.
I suppose that’s what the OP is trying to address with the „ended but not complete“ status.
TL;DR: while certainly helpful, the info if a show has ended is complicated by the distributed distribution model 
PS: The same is obviously also true for „new seasons available“ announcements (but that’s covered in a different suggestion)

This idea also includes tracking the series itself, letting you know if the series itself has ended or not, if there’s new episodes that Plex does not have, etc… Essentially, tracking the progress of an unfinished TV series so that you know if there are more episodes that you dont have, if you’re caught up, and something that notifies you to let you know that a season has new episodes that are not on your plex server.

Great idea, totally needed.

Please count me in as a +vote for this feature.
I have been banging my head against a wall trying to figure out how I can visually know if I have all episodes of a show or not. Like the ideas mentioned earlier about how Sonarr and other apps do this. I was going to try to do something similar by creating custom posters for shows that I have all the episodes for by modifying the poster and adding in a green stripe or dot on the poster. But I have so many shows, creating custom posters for each would be a pain to create and maintain.

Can’t Plex do what Sonarr does? It works great for me, and I’d rather have a mostly-working series status (maybe behind an option in settings) than no status at all.
Sonarr relies on what tvdb reports.
If it was itself at least 90% accurate that would be fine.
Shows seem to get changed from active to ended to active again a very regular basis.
And why can’t Plex just do the same? Plex already deals with other metadata being unreliable/changing.
Absolute Push for this Feature
come on Plex Team you are great but you have room to overcome yourself 
This is already available if you check TV shows though Discover, but not for personal servers. So not sure why not?
Where are you seeing this information in Discover?
Here, for instance:
The upcoming episodes have a predicted release date.
My suggestion would be to use Discover!
It seems like it might be difficult to keep this information updated for personal media on a Plex server. The dates can change frequently and unpredictably. How would a Plex server know to fetch updates?
true; I thought this was about the given thread and showing flags indicating if a show has ended.
Search for example TV Show The Last of Us and click on Season 1.
Oh sure! I’m not speaking to the entire feature request. Just agreeing that there’s a gap between what Discover/watch knows (announced future stuff), vs. what a PMS knows (actual existing on-disk episodes).

LOL that’s EXACTLY the same show I used in my example/link. 
Great TV Show though…
