Started watching a wonderful British tv show

[bif]

Called "Kingdom" starring Stephan Fry. It's from 2007 and it's streaming on Kanopy. Anyone seen it?

[choie]

1. Yes, it was wonderful.

and Stephen Frey is a treasure!

[MLAA]

2. Which service did you watch it on? Sounds wonderful.

[bif]

7. Kanopy.

Free with a library card. Lots of great indie films on there. That and Hoopla are wonderful!

[MLAA]

8. I'll check them both! Hanks for the tip.

I found it on Prime, but with ads! After paying the monthly fee is disappointing to have to deal with ads.

9. Actually...

I've noticed that Prime doesn't have ads during the daytime. I guess advertisers aren't willing to pay for airtime when almost no one is watching.

Also, if you're ever looking to find where a movie or show is streaming, check out justwatch.com Great free service!

10. Will do! Thank you. Did you ever watch New Tricks? Thoroughly enjoyed the British series of a police department of

old codgers/misfits whose new boss was an up and coming police sargeant who was put in charge of them as a penalty after royally screwing something up.

11. It's in my queue but I haven't started it yet

So many movies and shows! So little time!

13. You'll enjoy it and just finished Season 3 of Kingdom and loved it. So disappointed there's no season 4.

[bif]

14. Seasons 1&2 are on Kanopy

All three are on Pluto. Just discovered all three seasons are on YouTube for free!

[MLAA]

15. I endured the ads on prime and watched all three there, but glad there is an alternative!

3. It was great. Should have lasted much longer

4. You can also watch it on Tubi

which is another streaming site. Tubi has a lot of great stuff.

We watched it on Prime. Highly recommend it.

Can't find the article I read at the time that said the actors and crew weren't aware they were making the final episode but here's a link to a 16-year-old article announcing the show's end. Was sad that, apparently, production costs were considered too high.
