I clicked rhe "watch now" button and it started up, showing ~55 minutes length (so it's not just a trailer). I don't have a sign-in or membership, and have never linked it to our home cable whatever. It "knows" my local PBS station because of my ISP.

So you might be able to see the parts you missed without waiting for a repeat showing.

Either way - thanks! This looks excellent.
