Your favorite torrent provider has all the seasons of the show and even the special one that only aired in Japan!

Even that lost Christmas special the network wants to pretend doesn't exist, but we know better.

TBF you can find that in YouTube in 17 separate pieces these days

Well youtube also has the version of an episode that was recorded on a handycam pointed at a tv... and the guy is talking to the tv.

There's an exhibitor at my state fair who specializes in hard to find movies/episodes. He's got a DVD of it than I'm sure is on the level.

A streaming service creates a new show

Creates a second season

Ditches the show after getting everyone hooked

I'll never forgive them for killing mindhunters :(((((

Of course theyll pull the first season, how else would the network drive people to go sign up for their separate shitty streaming site that barely works for an additional $9/mo?

Meanwhile your friendly neighborhood pirate has the first, second, third AND fourth seasons, as well as all the extras and the Christmas special, always available all the time...

"A streaming service only has the second season of a show"

The "rival" streaming service that has the first season of the show is owned by the same corporation so it can double-dip viewers on subscription fees.

What about a streaming service that has only season 3 and season 5 for a 6 season show??? 😎

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 3 points 1 year ago

Or have the season you are on change to rent halfway through

Netflix when they didnt have golden wind(season 4 of jojo) for years. You could watch all of them except the fourth season...

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I gave up on Peaky Blinders when for some reason Netflix only had season 1 and 3, which I didn't realise until I was at the end of season 1.

[–] ReCursing@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Oh man, go back and watch the rest of it some day. It's excellent

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago

Wait 'till you hear about when a streaming service has season 1 and 2 in the original language, but only season 1 in English, plus season 1 and 2 (dubs and subs) are merged into a single season. This is space dandy on Hulu (I think it's Hulu, mighta been Netflix).

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

My streaming-service readies every movie or episode from everything i love, the moment it airs. And gives me a notification that it did. And then i can watch it wherever i want.

Oh wait, i don't use streaming but sonarr/radarr/prowlarr 😁

[–] FluffyPotato@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

This was the case when I checked out crunchyroll years ago, there were so many shows that didn't have season 1 in my country and well the selection was abysmal to begin with.

[–] antsu@lemmy.wtf 2 points 1 year ago

My streaming service (Jellyfin) always has all the seasons of everything. 😉

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I couldn't tell you how far into the series it is, but that is how I came across Detective Conan. Nearing a decade ago I found it on netflix and had absolutely no clue what was going on but I stuck with the maybe 12 or so episodes they had. I eventually learned that it was pretty far into the series. Couldn't tell you how far, but pretty far in.

Just let me pay for PBS kids without going through Amazon please. I’m a goddamn sustainer ffs. I want my kids binge watching Reading Rainbow. For my kids. Just them. Not because Levar Burton is dreamy. No. Just for the kids. Trust me. If I needed a Levar Burton fix I’d just listen to Levar Burton Reads podcast. His voice is enough for me.
