Just checked, you can get all of Westworld on BluRay.

Westworld is an exception. Only a few shows still get Blu-ray releases. For example, looking at Rotten Tomatoes’ list of the best TV show of 2020, only a good 10% have a US Blu-ray release: https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/best-tv-shows-of-2020/ https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/best-tv-shows-of-... For what I personally watch, it’s more like 5% at most.

  > Only a few shows still get Blu-ray releases. > For example, looking at Rotten Tomatoes’ list of the best TV show of 2020, only a good 10% have a US Blu-ray release That's a top 129 list. "The 129 most popular TV shows in 2020" is not a category of much interest. How many of the top 130 American TV shows in 2007 have a blu-ray release?

    that’s the point, that it’s hard to get your hands on physical copies of tv shows

  I'd say this is a chicken and egg situation where if anyone would buy those instead of pirate them, they would make the discs.

    I disagree. The amount of people who pirate shows is tiny compared to regular viewers of a show. Stopping piracy doesn't really lead to a significant more legitimate purchases; most people just don't pirate in general. And people in general don't buy Blu-Rays because streaming is more convenient and cheaper.

    I don’t know anyone under the age of 30 with a dedicated machine to play the discs. Maybe some of the game consoles can do this. But seeing shelves of movies and shows on a rack feels super outdated to me. A lot of these things feel like stuff that people watched once or never and they were just gifts.

    Digital piracy golden age was in the 2000s and they released everything on DVD. But I think it was streaming that basically killed the idea that people would pay hundreds of euro for a box set. I distinctly remember buying a single season of Westwood for 40 euro!

Why would I want to watch it more than once?

  First and second seasons are masterpieces which absolutely deserves multiple re-watches. There are many layers to both seasons where early details are only noticeable on rewatch, preferably after watching some youtube videos explaining it all. 3rd season was just a confusing mess, fourth was so bad that by the time i reached then end I completely did not care about it.
