It’s available on the Roku platform, but I doubt it will be much longer.

As a diversion from all the other shit taking place around me. It's nice to watch intelligent dramas that have stunning visuals, colorful costuming, complex characters, romance, political palace intrigue, etc. Not that I mind violence and language, when appropriate.

The Senior facility where I live has a ROKU account so that I can show movies on NETFLIX( also an account) in the theater on Saturday nights. I have been a NETFLIX subscriber since 2013.

I believe the two are entirely different entities now

ETA Fox corps is the right wing news company. 21st century fox is the one now owned by Disney

Looks like they are trying to expand

apps or otherwise destroying my options, I'm out. But, I'm not going to cut off my nose to spite my face until I see that investment (which I can't recover) is no longer viable.

Before anyone comes after me for that, at least I am not one defending UFC and its sadistic viewership as "mere sport"--even before the WH fiasco. Yes. I mean that. I see the aftermath of such promoted violence and the impact among (mostly) young men.

When I have to replace them, I'll probably change to an AppleTV box.
