I was wondering when this was going to breach the Zeitgeist. I've been reading about it for a while now. I'd really love to watch the recent show about it (that apparently triggered the awareness of it in the U.K.) but I can't find a way to watch it on any of my streaming services in the U.S. Does anyone know how to see it in the States?

It was an ITV series which isn't a streaming service, as such. You may be able to access the Radio series though which is well worth a listen. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000jf7j

ITVX is, purportedly, though.

I have some relatives who tried out ITVX for the first time especially to watch the drama, which they didn't catch as it was broadcast. They reported that ITVX was almost unusable, and also that the app crashed their telly and caused it to lose the ability to output sound until they rebooted the telly and let it go through an update cycle. "BBC iPlayer is much better." came the grumble down the telephone. (-:

I told them that it was ITV, which has 4 channels and is almost bound to repeat it.

True, ITVX or whatever it was called before actually worked OK but then they updated it and made it quite terrible.

Addendum: ITV duly repeated it, as predicted, 3 days after I wrote that; and the relatives tell me that they happily watched it on broadcast.

I'd recommend pirating it and it's easy enough to find through the usual trackers.

For those who don't want to pirate it, there is a summary which tells the story using scenes from the TV series.
