Apple TV subscription issue

Probably a worn out question. I have just subscribed to Apple TV after looking it over, I still have to pay "after my first free episode" to several shows, "unless I am subscribed". Well I am subscribed so why does it give me that message? I'm reluctant to watch these programs in case I get locked in to paying if I don't keep an eye out and opt out before the next episode.

Verify that you are signed in to the Apple TV app on your smart TV or streaming device, through the in-app Settings (⚙️), using an Apple ID account that has the Apple TV+ subscription linked to it.

If the subscription can’t be confirmed within the app, then you would see the free first episodes for select series.

Thanks Rudegar, I do understand that there's third party content there. I am also subscribed to Prime and Paramount and a couple of others. It's just same message as Prime where they put up a show and say the first episode is free until you subscribe, when you're already subscribed. I'm probably overthinking this, just thought I would inquire. Cheers
