@alexhall You can purchase seasons of some of those shows outright in the store tab of the tv app. I really enjoy some of the documentaries on Apple TV Plus. There are a number of other shows which I might find interesting. Between Apple TV Plus and Amazon Prime Video, I can always find something to take in if I want to.

@alexhall I really enjoyed the Last Days of Ptolame Gray and the movie Grayhound. There's a neat documentary called Homes which tells you about all kinds of unique homes around the world. All of this has excellent audio description and great sound.

@alexhall I have switched to planning a bit, and getting one month of a streaming service when there's enough content to saturate me for a month.

(We have Crunchyroll though, and we leech one big Spanish streaming service that comes with HBO and a few other small services from family.)

I even started to write a planning tool to do that.

The main issue is not being able to participate in some online discussions about shows, but the money savings are significant.

@alexhall with how streaming services suck, I've been experimenting with ripping DVDs and Blu-Ray with good success.

However, not all shows I like get physical releases, and if they do, they make delays even larger.

@mfeir I've never really been a big documentary fan. Grayhound wasn't bad.
