    I look forward to torrenting these as they’ve pulled the rug out from under us in the UK again by removing them from Amazon.

      This just seems to be one of the last turnovers from Paramount’s policy to bring all its new Trek content to its own streamer.

      But then it removed Prodigy and is marketing its second season to others….

        You know what, if they had P+ ready to go in the UK in 2015 when Dis began I’d have probably signed up and still been so. But since then they’ve pissed us about so much. Dis was on Netflix, when Picard went to Amazon, then Lower Decks went to Amazon six months odd after it finished in the US so I’d already had to torrent it, then Dis got pulled from Netflix at the eleventh hour just before series 3 began, a week after they had told people it would be on there at a London Trek Con, but as P+ still hadn’t launched the only way to watch it was on an obscure Freeview digital channel. Now this with Lower Decks.

        Not to mention times are much harder now financially for everyone so adding another monthly cost is a much bigger burden. Especially for one franchise, as least Disney brought Marvel, Star Wars and Fox to fill out D+ before it launched.
