2 To watch the series, one must have a Netflix subscription. Many users canceled their subscriptions in late 2021 and early 2022 in protest of transphobic content on the platform and its treatment of LGBTQ+ employees, and thus might not have access to this show (see e.g., Jon Blistein, “Trans Employees and Allies at Netflix Plan Walkout in Protest of Dave Chappelle's ‘The Closer,’” RollingStone.com, October 20, 2021, https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-news/netflix-trans-employees-walkout-protest-dave-chappelle-the-closer-1241802/). Subscriber numbers have also declined due to competition from other services, increases in subscription costs, and other reasons. See Nicole Sperling, “Netflix loses subscribers for first time in 10 years,” New York Times, April 19, 2022, https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/19/business/netflix-earnings-q1.html?smid=url-share.
