It doesn't help that AMC+ provides possibly the worst user experience of any of the major streaming apps I've used. Constant crashes, failure to resume where I left off, and just straight up "not working" is a total killer when there are a dozen other apps I could be using to watch other (admittedly non-AMC) content.

Feels like they were banking on exclusivity of AMC content and put not enough effort into the technical and UX aspects of their service.

They also removed episodes mid season of Better Call Saul, forcing you to subscribe for multiple months.

Oh; I've been meaning to subscribe to whatever service had Better Call Saul to binge watch it (now that I'm getting bored with HBO Max, and they cancelled / concluded most of the recent shows I watch).

Thanks for the heads up.

(I can't see the Discovery acquisition going well. The whole premise is that they'll cut 3 billion dollars from the production pipelines of the networks that were involved, but will somehow maintain / grow their revenues. I don't see the difference between this and attempting to improve GM's margins by firing all their factory workers and focusing on collection interest payments from existing car loans.)

I would assume the whole season is on it now, but as it was airing they removed the episodes. Personally, I just bought it on Amazon for $20 or however much it cost.
