There was a TV show starring JK Simmons called Counterpoint. I was able to watch it at one point but now it is completely unavailable in the UK. Can’t even buy the series!

Despite subscribing to the Showtime channel on Amazon Prime, I cannot watch Homeland. I can watch it on Netflix though and the audio and quality is absolute shit. And I don’t want to give Netflix 20 quid a month for that.

Why homeland? Was on a Damien Lewis binge. Love that guy’s work.

Counterpart. Was a really good show. It's available in the US but it looks like you have to buy or rent.

That’s the thing. Can’t do it. Unless it was released on physical media.

I really wanted to watch it again considering severance s2 has been in limbo for ages.

It seems to be available on DVD in the US. Though going forward--and given the number of people who don't even own DVD players any longer (even some older folks think it's weird I still have one)--I expect more and more things won't be released on physical media any longer.

Wasn't that Counterpart? The one that takes place in Berlin?

Yeah, sounds like it is.

Guessing Band of Brothers, Billions, what else?

Life was a good one. Sadly, not enough people agreed and it was cancelled after 2 seasons.

That crime procedural where he was a Good Cop who went to jail on a bad rap or whatever it was?

E: Should have refreshed before replying.

Don't forget about Life. The show that ended too early.

Worth watching the 2 seasons that were made? Will I be annoyed when it ends abruptly?

Watch Wolfhall if you haven’t
