Discovery Question

Post by Fuzzy Necromancer »

Does anyone know a legal way I can watch Star Trek Discovery WITHOUT signing up for an entire separate video streaming service? =s I'm excited about the new reviews but I'd hate to spoiler something that I want to watch first.

Sadly in the US no. Some of my friends use a VPN to watch the British version of Netflix, but pretty sure that doesn't meet the legal requirement. Maybe have a Canadian friend tape it for you since it's on TV there?

Barring that, you can wait until the season's almost over, then sign up for a free trial and binge watch it all in one week. But make sure to cancel before the trial's up or you will get charged.

Technically, there is a way to watch it legally. Move to a country where its on Netflix. Well, you didn't say convenient...

Technically, that wouldn't be legal either. And having the tape sent would probably cost more than the subscription to All Access anyway.

Go to Hungary, it is legal to torrent as long as you do not make money from it.

*sigh*
Every time Chuck does another Discovery review I bemoan my lack of income and the show's relative inaccessibility.
