Finding a place to legally watch a specific TV show has become very frustrating. Been through this with several shows. I no longer use any streaming services but it can be nearly impossible to find some shows, particularly ones that were released pre-streaming era.
That’s a skill issue if you are only using clearweb searches - most of the good stuff is found in forums, archives that aren’t indexed by common search engines (Anna’s archive for books for instance), and user groups.
If you’re looking for something niche, you’re probably best checking using a search engine that isn’t google, and getting familiar with VPNs, torrenting, TOR and checking the files you download.
i was using this russian movie-web host that had an insane amount of non-english content. there were also loads of dubs for almost everything. some english shows would default to spanish or russian, but the original audio was always available too.
everything was so easy, i miss it dearly :c
ps: there’s a russian dub of shameless and the VAs are surprisingly spot on
I will say, Russia and Brazil seem to be the kings of having these archives - as a dual Spanish and English native speaker, I kind of wish something similar was happening for us lol

Well there’s your problem!
Illegally is near impossible too if it’s something that isn’t English language and isn’t anime. If this is a skill issue lmk.

I reflect on the 8-bit guy’s statement when it comes to digital products:
“When [copyright holder] is unwilling to make product available for sale, I don’t shed too many tears when people pirate the material.”
The best subscription service is a no-logs VPN.
