Started watching a wonderful British tv show

Called "Kingdom" starring Stephan Fry. It's from 2007 and it's streaming on Kanopy. Anyone seen it?

Free with a library card. Lots of great indie films on there. That and Hoopla are wonderful!

I found it on Prime, but with ads! After paying the monthly fee is disappointing to have to deal with ads.

I've noticed that Prime doesn't have ads during the daytime. I guess advertisers aren't willing to pay for airtime when almost no one is watching.

Also, if you're ever looking to find where a movie or show is streaming, check out justwatch.com Great free service!

Can't find the article I read at the time that said the actors and crew weren't aware they were making the final episode but here's a link to a 16-year-old article announcing the show's end. Was sad that, apparently, production costs were considered too high.
