Person of Interest, The Professionals, and other things

I've just finished watching the Person of Interest episode Proteus (season 2, ep 17). It's such a good episode.

My poor carers! Whenever I get one alone, I try to turn them into a Person of Interest fan. So far, I've got 3 interested in taking a look at the series.

I subscribed to the ITV hub on Amazon because they had a few series I wanted to watch, namely The Darling Buds of May, Poirot, and The Professionals. With The Darling Buds of May, the series was taken off ITV hub with no notice while I was partway through an episode. With Poirot and The Professionals, some episodes were available and some weren't, and the available episodes changed without notice, which was really frustrating. Then The Professionals entire seasons disappeared and the remastered and restored versions appeared on Amazon Prime instead.

I've cancelled ITV hub now. It was more hassle than it was worth trying to keep track of which episodes I'd seen and trying to watch an ep before it disappeared. It seems an odd way to run a TV channel.

Wow, that's frustrating - you'd think they'd at least have some sort of "you've started so you can finish" measure in place!

But this is the kind of thing that bothers me about streaming services - I want to own my physical DVDs what you can't take from me unless you're a burglar. Or I break them. But not just because someone in man't felt like overhauling the offers with a whole lot more reality TV or something.

Anything that I've actually bought is still mine. It's only the series (serii? serieses?) I was accessing through the subscription that have disappeared. It puts me off subscribing, that's for sure!
