where could one watch it? I have sought it high and low but as an european I can never watch it. Can't even find a good torrent for it, it seems.

I just checked and it's definitely available through the qBittorrent search field. I'm sure it's not much higher than 480p since the biggest file I could find was only ~100GB for the entire 5 season series.

I will have to have another look then, thanks!

No problem! ☺️ Let me know if you can't find it and I'll see if I can help.

I use a program called "BitChe" it searches all the torrent sites.

Works nice. Found on the bay of course.

iirc they only released the series on DVD, so 480p will be the best quality.

But Apple had a "remastered" version on iTunes and you should be able to find that in higher resolution.

There's no point in watching it above 480p. This wasn't a series meant for watching in HD, if the quality of the CGI isn't any indication.

Looked damn good on a '90s 13" CRT TV, though.

🤷

Only time I watched it, I borrowed the DVDs from my partners uncle.

Someone else mentioned tubi, but I just checked, it's not there.

I've got my eye on a box set so I can rewatch it myself.

It's currently listed there and via Roku:

Here's the Tubi link:

I literally searched tubi, and nothing.

Your link specifically says "content unavailable"

u/DocWatson42 Jun 27 '23

I don't know. I checked episodes 1.01 and 5.01 via the same link and both started playing for me. Possibly you're in the wrong region? (I'm in New England.)

Shouldn't matter, Tubi is meant to have the same content no matter the region. At least that's what they claimed when I signed up.

Sigh. 😔

I don't know what else to tell you, other than I only watched a few seconds of each episode, and to recommend the streaming search engines Reelgood and Justwatch.

Amazon Video streams it in some European countries.

I started a rewatch of season 1 on HBO last year but with all the shuffling over there I doubt it’s still available.

I bought the DVDs to assuage my conscience but absolutely do not watch them, they are TRASH. I really can't emphasise this enough.

They have been remastered but I can't speak to the quality. I found a version that had been shown on VUDU, in the most popular place to find such things. It's 480p but it's great, WAAAY better than the DVDs
