I’m getting closer and closer to cancelling my Netflix account. I’ve been working through DS9 eps lately because it’s the only series Netflix doesn’t have on streaming right now.

I think it’s only free for Prime subscribers. As for why they’re doing it, I imagine they are trying to woo some nerds away from Netflix.

Yeah, you have to pay for a prime membership. So it’s not free, technically.

Shouldn’t this have been on Gone Hollywood?

That’s pretty awesome. They must have negotiated the rights with whomever owns the series.

Now, if they could just get the back seasons of Mad Men (like Netflix) as well as some back-seasons of The Simpsons, I’d be a very happy streamer.
