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.
It’s really not worth watching unless their dog is barking every 45 seconds and their wife comes in every half hour or so to drunkenly berate them for something inconsequential.
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.
Well… Sometimes.
my jellyfin server has all of the seasons, including spin-off movies and bonus episodes.
my jellyfin server has all of the seasons
Jesus, all the seasons? You must data hoard hard.
Some of us prefer the term data whore.
Why go with a server instead of streaming, these days? I’m genuinely curious.
Edit: guys, I’m asking a question. Why the downvotes? Also, I’m not talking about PAID streaming.
Because what I want to watch is spread across 17 different streaming services. Of course you can buy digitally… But then there’s no guarantee they won’t take that back out of your account. Or edit it later on when they decide something is offensive like happened when I bought the office on Vudu.
To be clear, I think they were asking about streaming torrents. Stremio with torrentio addon, for example.
Ooooh. Eh. Never know when the nice quality one might go poof.

How you dare to go against Jellyfin in Lemmy, not even Plex stands a chance /s
To answer your question, you actually can use both, as I do.
Plex for more “obscure” content and to enrich my own TV m3u playlist with DizqueTV and Stremio and Kodi with Real Debrid for everything else, if I have a legal streaming service is because it is being borrowed to me lol, I’m more than served with my means.
Because you can control exactly what is on your server. I do the same thing via Plex. I want to watch a movie and it got pulled from the half dozen streaming services I have access to? Fuck it, just download it and add it to my own personal server. Now I have it forever and ever until I decide I’m done watching it.
It works a hell of a lot more reliably than things like fmovies… Streamio can be a little better with real-debrid but then you’re still paying…
I was watching a show and they dropped the rights in my country (no one picked it up), the only option was to steal it via a torrent or steal via VPN…then they blocked VPNs
What other people said and also that most stuff is available in higher quality than will be streamed to you if it has been released on BDs
In my case I use a Emby server and not “free” streaming options because I can choice the quality, subtitles and on which device I want to watch. Or download it on my phone for offline watching.
All under my control without any ads.
basically, data hoarder. i’m scared of not being able to watch a certain show in the future, even on illegal sites. so i take control of the files myself at very little cost. i had an old computer laying around, and a 4TB HDD is like 60€
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 :(((((
Or 1899
That was a great show and had so much potential.
Something something left with an animated spinoff grumble grumble…
Or altered carbon
Or
my axeCowboy BebopSarah Connor Chronicles
The old Netflix tactic of throwing everything at the wall and removing what sticks so they can throw more.
Am I the only one that wished we had a decent ending to Gallivant?
Recently been trying to introduce my partner to Doctor Who while he’s staying in Australia. All the episodes used to be up on BritBox because it’s a British show, but they dropped it earlier this year. Now the options are:
Binge (season 4+)
Amazon Prime (season 5+)
Stan (all new seasons, but also the only streaming service I don’t have access to)
Disney+ (only 3 movie-length specials)
Yarrr
Bonus points: The service has the entire run of a show, but then they remove the whole series when you’re only 3 episodes away from the end.
Can’t remove them if they’re on your own drive 🏴☠️.
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…
*cries in pokemon.com/tv*
Seasons: 7, 20-25
“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.
🏴☠️
If I can’t see the whole show, I pirate it.
If I can’t download the show and host it on my jellyfin server, I pirate it.
If I can get the whole show for a reasonable price and download it in 1080p, I buy it.
Amazon Prime is the worst offender.
reminds me of hulu in the early days. What’s the point, why would I ever trust your service if you’re just going to haphazardly throw episodes up there?
I remember when Hulu first came out and everyone kept telling me it was free. Then I’d try to watch something on it and it was only 15-30 second clips. Then I found out my friends were just stupid and didn’t realize they’re parents were paying for it
I had to stop a movie at night then when I came back the next day to finish it, it became only available for renting :/
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.
The high seas are free matey
Oh yea, streaming services have never had much of a selection in my country so the high seas are the only option and Plex combined with sickchill and couchpotato are a better user experience too.
What about a streaming service that has only season 3 and season 5 for a 6 season show??? 😎
Or have the season you are on change to rent halfway through
Or Netflix: we have repackaged 2 seasons as one with half of season 2 jammed in there to make it feel like it died unfinished.
So you’re the guy who only wants two seasons. I’ll let Netflix know.
