Netflix


The series is available on DVD on Netflix but I had to check here to make sure they had it all because they combine season/series 1-3 into a single season/series and the 4th becomes the 2nd. That and they had a different title for the first episode.

They sort of did the same on Hulu. The have 2 seasons each with 3 episodes. The episodes are combined parts 1 and 2 so the 6 episodes are 12 according to IMDB.

I'm also looking into renting the DVDs from Netflix but I can't seem to find out how many DVDs you get in the purchase? There are a total of 13 episodes (see IMDB) but what do we get from Netflix. Appreciate any info.
Amazon is asking for $7.99 per episode! First season one series of 2 episodes was free but the next 11 would be $8.00 each ? It's not even a new series - it's from 2007 to 2010 not worth it.

Has anyone ordered the DVDs yet from Netflix ? Ican't find a description of the DVDs on Netflix.

I subscribe to Netflix for a flat rate per month. I am going to start this series and see if I like it.

Netflix describes the series as two seasons. The first season is three disks with one episode on each disk. Season two has three disks with 2 episodes on each disk. Many on disk two are labeled part ! and Part 2.

I don't know everything. Neither does anyone else

I watched the series on AcornTV, a Roku channel. You can probably watch AcornTV on a computer. It costs about $4 per month to subscribe. Nothing but British shows.

Yes, Sasha99.

Acorn TV (especially through the wonder of big screen ROKU tv option) is the way to go!

Also, Acorn may have a one-month free trial or something--besides, with Netflix raising its prices even more again....(guess they've got to pay for these self-indulgent 40 million dollar "original" productions, yuck, for which none of us originally signed to Netflix to watch). I can't speak for others, but I just wanted existing content made available for streaming. Not have them spend gazillions on their own stuff and increase our prices.

Bye bye Netflix. Nice knowin' ya. ha

Acorn to me at about 4+ bucks a month seems the far better bargain.

And they have Australian, Scandinavian, New Zealand, Irish and many country's shows, too, not just British.

Some of these are available elsewhere if you do searches of all the streaming services.

But it's nicely packaged on Acorn, especially now that I've gone to ROKU and cut the cable cord over a year ago.

(In the U.S., though the hubby still insists on satellite in the UK where we live part of the time. He's addicted to the SKY sports--but the SKY Atlantic has good things, too like the current series 2 of The Tunnel...etc., and they can record while we are away).

But if I had my way, I'd cut that "cord" too! :-))

reply

I subscribed to Acorn through Amazon mostly because I wanted to watch Cracker from BBC. I also have cable, NF and Hulu and I'm going to cut the cord too. There isn't any reason to keep it, the programming sucks as far as Im concerned. NF is not much better. All of their new release movies are horrible. I much prefer the sifisticatiin of BBC series. They modulate the violence and faux sex. But, in the beginning, NF sounded good because there wasn't anything to compare it to. I especially love Hulu, it's just superior the rest.

Why, oh why doesn't this program do auto correct? I meant sophistication, not what ever that other word is in my comment above. Ha!
