You're making me really want to start a rewatch.
It's shocking how few people have seen this show, let along watched it. Part of that probably has to do with how inaccessible it is on streaming. It's only readily available on AMC+. And no one has AMC+.
This is one of those shows that would likely shoot to the top if Netflix got the rights to it and even did a mild push. It's genuinely peak prestige TV.
- walterbell 8mo ago40-episode box set is $30 ($16 today) on Apple TV.
- dzink 8mo agoAnd just like that, their sales skyrocketed.
- dep_b 8mo agoNot in Europe?
- Gormo 8mo agoApple TV is distributing physical media?
- walterbell 8mo agoScroll past the subscription options to find the full series listing. "Box Set" licensing terminology is as anachronistic as "Seasons", but both are used in Apple TV product listings for non-subscription streaming media purchases.
- Gormo 8mo agoI'm not seeing anything anachronistic about either term. "Seasons" is absolutely aligned to the way television series are still produced and distributed. "Box Set" implies physical media. Using the latter term to refer to something else sounds like a case of false advertising.
- walterbell 8mo agoApple offers refunds for unwanted digital purchases, and this description in Apple TV app: When you purchase access to this item, you can permanently download it to your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or PC. Once downloaded, you can access this without an internet connection, and Apple can't remove it from your device.
- Gormo 8mo agoWait, so it's actually a standalone, DRM-free download? If that's the case, then while the term is still somewhat misleading, it's considerably less so than I assumed.
- walterbell 8mo agoNot DRM free, but unlike most streaming services Apple TV will download purchased media via different countries or VPNs and has no time limit to watch the download. In practice, it "just works". Buying all 4 seasons individually would be 4x$13=$52.
- Altidude 8mo agoAlso free to watch on The Roku Channel: https://therokuchannel.roku.com/details/523a290683575d4494830a982a9c07d7 https://therokuchannel.roku.com/details/523a290683575d449483...
- gzread 8mo agoAlso free to pirate for LLM training purposes
- knappe 8mo agoThat is where I originally watched it. It was on Netflix at one point. And now, it is not. Which is most of the problem with streaming service in general.
- echelon_musk 8mo ago> It's shocking how few people have seen this show, let along watched it Huh?
- latexr 8mo agoI think they mean “seen” in the sense of “know it exists”, as in seeing it advertised on a billboard or the sea of thumbnails in a streaming service.

- runamuck 8mo agoI recommend AMC+ if you like horror because you also get Shudder. I get to watch Joe Bob Brigg's "Last Drive In." Plus all the Prestige Y2K Television - Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Walking Dead.
- SubiculumCode 8mo agoIt used to be available as part of Prime. I've watched that series 3 times. It is very good..one of my all time faves, actually.
