Netflix users are scrambling for their remotes and canceling plans left and right, all in a mad dash to revisit or finally discover one of the most beloved comedy-detective series of the 2000s before it disappears from the platform at the end of April.
This kind of frenzy isn’t new, as streaming platforms have given us easy access to entire TV libraries without cluttering our shelves but the catch always remains that nothing stays forever. When a show vanishes, it feels like someone yanked your comfort blanket away without warning. And right now, fans of Psych are feeling exactly that.

The show in question isn’t just some forgotten gem. It’s Psych, the quirky and clever crime-solving series that first aired in 2006 and kept fans laughing and guessing for eight solid seasons. With James Roday Rodriguez playing the fake psychic with very real detective skills, and Dulé Hill as his endlessly supportive best friend Gus, the duo made sleuthing in sunny California a whole lot more fun than it had any right to be.

The show, critically praised and fan-adored, boasts an enviable 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, with several seasons earning flawless ratings.
The episodes also aren’t just murder mysteries, they are outright hilarious, fast-paced adventures peppered with pop culture references, and memorable guest appearances.

“I started watching Psych on Netflix a couple weeks ago, and I can’t believe I’d never heard of this show,” wrote on viewer on X last year, adding, “Each episode is a murder/crime mystery, with a genius who solves what the police can’t AND it’s lighthearted/hilarious?? It’s so good.”

However, that nostalgia is now tinged with panic. As word spread that Psych is set to leave Netflix on April 30, timelines have erupted with disbelief, and with 120 episodes to go, the binge marathon has just become a mission.
“NO WHAT THE F**K PSYCH IS LEAVING NETFLIX ON APRIL 30TH,” a fan tweeted while sharing a screengrab of the announcement.
