A few weeks ago, I was perusing Netflix. There I saw a placeholder for an upcoming show that grabbed my attention. It had no logo, icon, description, or cast. But the title says “The Fast and the Furious Animated Show”. When you click into the show, it only has a brief description: “Adventures abound as a…
