WHERE THE F^%# CAN YOU GET SEASON 2 IN THE US??

No listing.
No info.
Nothing.

Meanwhile it seems the whole world has seen all of season 2.
Welcome to 2017.

Re: WHERE THE F^%# CAN YOU GET SEASON 2 IN THE US??

I'm suffering along with you. My hubs is trying to find torrents.

Re: WHERE THE F^%# CAN YOU GET SEASON 2 IN THE US??

Tannerie,
I appreciate your very detailed response, but it doesn't help us across the pond. Season 1 streamed on Amazon Prime, so it seems reasonable it will end up there, but not necessarily.

Hinterland seasons 1 & 2 streamed on Netflix, but there's no info saying they will carry S3.

I will be very grumpy if I have to wait for the DVD and avoid spoilers for the better part of a year. Yes, I'm a spoiled brat, but not as bad as most of my fellow Americans. ;)

Thanks much,
Capulet

Re: WHERE THE F^%# CAN YOU GET SEASON 2 IN THE US??

Fingers crossed ye get it soon :_ .

While i don't condone straight piracy, using VPN systems, if you can find a safe provider of such software, is a more acceptable practice to me - blocking internet content country to country is ridiculous to me, all internet content should be available Worldwide and if it was, the providers would make more money in the long run anyway*.

IF you can download and connect to Sky's own Sky Go app, which is viewable on PCs and tablets, you MIGHT be able to use it to view the series.

But even if you can download the app and trick it into thinking you're in the U.K. or Ireland, you'd still need the login permission and details of someone who has activated the app (and i'm not telling you mine :) ).

The app is available for free to people who pay for a Multiroom connection, but it still needs to be activated in a no sale transaction on Sky's website (as it costs 6 or so a month for subscribers with only a single room subscription ), and not everybody bothers to buy it or activate it :_ .
(Edit - I only did on my soon to be mentioned Amazon Fire, when i bought it, to see how it worked :) .)

*For example, i can watch certain videos on Yahoo Sports' UK website, but not others and i can't use BBC or ITV's catch up websites at all and while i have Netflix and it's available basically in every country in the world, except where the U.S. don't get on with, like Syria, China and North Korea etc (though of course even Netflix' content in massively different country to country and though the PS3 and PS4 have Worldwide Netflix apps, only the U.S., Canada and certain "Latin American" countries, got a Vita app for it and the PS2 in Brazil gets a World exclusive version of the app :)), however, even though i bought an Amazon Fire tablet and can use it for various things like Netflix and downloading ebooks, it won't let me connect to Amazon Video.

At least not yet, when i bought the device last year, the service was only available in about five countries in the World, but it was recently expanded to it's currently still rather low twelve and they've announced "plans" to make it available globally - it's a pity i activated my free months' trial before i knew i couldn't use it and i doubt i'll get another trial :_ .

Re: WHERE THE F^%# CAN YOU GET SEASON 2 IN THE US??

I saw the first two episodes! Squee! Would you like to discuss the show somewhere else so we don't "spoil" things for others?

Re: WHERE THE F^%# CAN YOU GET SEASON 2 IN THE US??

While we, or mostly you could start talking about things that happened in the first two episodes in another thread, as i might start talking about things that happens later on thinking, they're from those two episodes, for the most part, aside from like when you were trying to find out where you could watch the new series where you are, i think it's best to avoid looking at messages boards again 'til you've seen all the episodes to avoid possible spoilers.

Of course that plan (which i normally follow) has had a sudden spanner thrown in its' works by the announcement that these message boards are going to be shut down on the 20th of this month :( .

But if a big enough outcry from the community means that these boards remain active passed that date, and around the time when the regular weekly episodes of this series are properly shown by around the end of March, "We Are Still Here!", or failing that, if you can find a way to "Netflix" the full series before the cut off date, i've also being posting comments in the following thread, which is spoiler heavy for people who've seen the whole series:- http://www.imdb.com/board/13498622/board/thread/265610462 :) .

Re: WHERE THE F^%# CAN YOU GET SEASON 2 IN THE US??

Good point. I really don't want to be spoiled. A site called The Killing Times has a review each week after Thursday's episode so that will be safer. Nice chatting with you!

Re: WHERE THE F^%# CAN YOU GET SEASON 2 IN THE US??

I've been disappointed about its availability, too. I was told Nowtv.com - Sky Atlantic's streaming service, was available to US and Canada, but it seems it's just mobile devices or not at all. At any rate the ability to create an account with them is no longer available from the US.

I've been searching for DVD release notes for the second season, and the only thing I've found is a listing on Amazon's UK domain for a pre-order for December 2017. No US page yet for the pre-order, so not even sure it'll get a region 1 release. I hope so, but without it being aired on Pivot I can see some suit deciding it isn't needed. Nobody wants to wait 10 months for the DVD either. Season 1 was available as a region 1 DVD about 3 weeks after the last episode aired on Sky. Another UK show I liked, Fleabag, has no planned region 1 dvd even after migrating to AmazonPrime, so I am worried its distribution will remain incomplete.

Re: WHERE THE F^%# CAN YOU GET SEASON 2 IN THE US??

Don't worry, you're likely not too far behind the curve :) .

The first episode of the new series was only shown by Sky in the U.K. and Ireland this past Thursday, with the second episode on tomorrow night.

The reason that some of us have seen the full second series already is that Sky released the full series on their on demand Box Sets service the same night the first episode of the new series aired, something they don't normally do (i believe this is the first time they've "Netflix"ed an entire series ) ).

(I've seen them upload the next episode of certain series, literally once or twice, on night they air new episodes, letting us watch such series one week in advance at most, but in those cases, while you might be able to watch episode one and two on the same night, you'd still had to wait another week to watch each new episode. Downloading episode three when episode two airs, downloading episode four when episode three airs etc :) ).

Their Box Sets, which initially launched as a free addition to their catch up and general on demand service and in particular such features only work in their relatively new (five years or so year old)Sky+ boxes, but then they started charging for the service, and they aren't actually really worth paying for normally, but since Christmas, they've given some, if not all Sky+ customers the Box Sets back for free for three months, which is where i and most of the people who've seen this series already have watched it :) .

(Like i said, the Box Sets were a free part of their on demand service 'til three or four years ago.

Personally i've been a Sky customer since around 2005, but we only got a standard definition Sky box back then (i don't believe Sky+ was available in this country, Ireland, at least we weren't offered the package), one which lets you watch one channel at a time and has no recording features and the box only works on one tv at a time.
We had that box installed in our sitting room, with regular free to air, indoor aerial tvs, in other rooms, but when our free to air channels changed to a still free to air digital service, but one which requires a 100 decoder box on each tv (and supposedly an outdoor or attic aerial) to work, service about four years ago, i upgraded to a Sky "Multiroom" package.

In that we got a Sky+ HD box, which includes live tv pause, rewind and two channel simultaneous recording and other "DVR" type features, including a catch up service and the box sets (sure other similar boxes and Sky's new "Sky Q" boxes can record four or five simultaneous programmes, but i'm just describing what a Sky+ box can do :) ) .

In the years before i got Sky+, my only option to watch clashing programmes was on plus one channels or when shows were repeated etc, but when Arrow started about five years ago, i was interested in watching it, but even with plus one channels etc, i'd too many clashing programmes and didn't watch it.

I got Sky+ about the time Arrow was halfway through showing it's second series, but when the third series was coming, i watched the first series on the Box Sets service, when it was the only series they had available, but they had the date they were adding the second series to it, listed, just before the third series was going to air, but that was also the point they decided to charge for the Box Sets, taking them away from me unless i paid 15 a month for them (even though Netflix was only 7, and has only recently raised to 10) and 15 is still their standard price.

But as i found out looking at the box sets and by extension catch up offerings for the first time in a while, they've cut a lot from it.

Another series i missed seeing properly on tv is Justified and that was advertised as being on the service until recently, but it's gone now, but as with other catch up services and websites, the length of time shows are included in the catch up section or at all, varies a lot.

For example, the full current series' of Supergirl and The Flash are included on catch up, but other shows only track back one to four episodes and Arrow was conveniently absent from catch up and when i went looking for Arrow series two to four in Box Sets, i didn't find it there, only in a separate part of their on demand section, called Sky Store, where you've to pay individually to buy and rent film and tv series :_ .
(Individual series of Arrow are 20 each - if Netflix Ireland ever pick up the show i'll catch up on it, but 'til then, i'll only be watching Flash, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow crossover episodes of it :) .)

(The company rings up with offers such as getting them briefly for half price, later paying the 15 a month again - they love to charge for extras, our single room Sky connection started at either 28 or 29 a month, adding "multiroom" with the HD ready box we got was 15 extra, so our current monthly bill from them should be only 43 or 44, but they've increased their standard price about a Euro every year or so and we're currently paying 55 a month, so to get the box sets would make our bill 70, HD is 15 extra, so that's be 85, while adding their premium Sky Sports and Sky Movies packages cost about 20 extra each, so adding them both would make our bill about 125 and various extra channels like the Disney channels, official sports club channels like Liverpool and Manchester United tv all cost extra, we could easily have to pay them 150 a month to watch all they offer on the service :) .

Another Sports package from BT and Eir Sport is also normally extra, but i recently got it free for switching my broadband package, but would lose BT/Eir again, if we changed our current broadband provider again :) .)

Finally to close this long post, Capulet, don't be a pirate, or you'll walk the plank! :_ .

Re: WHERE THE F^%# CAN YOU GET SEASON 2 IN THE US??

It's on Exodus through Kodi.

Re: WHERE THE F^%# CAN YOU GET SEASON 2 IN THE US??

Thx for the info.

Re: WHERE THE F^%# CAN YOU GET SEASON 2 IN THE US??

Not sure we needed the novel before but basically the whole of Season 2 is available in the U.K. on Sky Boxsets which means you can download it through your Sky digital set top box if you subscribe to that service. Episode 2 aired on Sky TV earlier tonight which is as far as those who do not have the Boxsets service will be.

I have just finished watching all of season 2, and it is a bit all over the shop and overall I preferred season one (really miss Stanley Tucci).
However I still watched 2/3 episodes at a time as each one ends with a cliff hanger which makes you want to see what happens next. There are some shocks and twists in season 2 and it is more a question of how certain characters will meet their end rather than who, but it is interesting to see how it all pans out.

Re: WHERE THE F^%# CAN YOU GET SEASON 2 IN THE US??

I tend to write a fair few novels, i'd rather post too much than too little, partly because if i don't post certain things i'll likely only have to post them in follow up messages, but also because i find it helps me to get certain things out of my system and gives people something relatively well written to entertain them if they're bored :) .

Overall i enjoyed this series about as much as the first and bits like *tiny spoiler*

the kid working in the police station and the fight that he witnesses, added some fun and moments of unexpected comedy to the series, more so than i can remember in the first series :) .

And in particular, i made (another long :)) post in the following thread about several of the "WTF?!" moments and many of the odd/annoying editing and scene choices in this series:- http://www.imdb.com/board/13498622/board/thread/265610462 :) .

Re: WHERE THE F^%# CAN YOU GET SEASON 2 IN THE US??

You answered the question in detail about how people have already seen the full series already, but then went off on various tangents off topic. But my post was only pulling your leg, not meant to be critical really.
Yep I read your other post about the WTF moments and responded on the other thread.

Re: WHERE THE F^%# CAN YOU GET SEASON 2 IN THE US??

Q: What if they made an entire season and let nobody watch it?
A: Fortitude season 2.


Thanks for the info.

Boards being disabled

Wow. Just saw the announcement that the boards and private messaging will be gone later this month. :(

I guess there's been a lot of nastiness, but I haven't witnessed it.

Re: WHERE THE F^%# CAN YOU GET SEASON 2 IN THE US??

Yes, I'm sure facebook is the answer.
Whatever the question.

IMDb's message boards was THE main feature I used.
Hey let's stick fingers in our ears, close our eyes and scream.
Reality, be gone!

Why do I have to love in this world?

*beep* you, IMDb.

Re: WHERE THE F^%# CAN YOU GET SEASON 2 IN THE US??

Indeed, it sucks that they're planned to close these boards*, while sure i haven't posted enough, with these my first posts in three or four years (on threads that were deleted - looking at my history, it looks like i hadn't posted in nearly nine years), but i came to these boards first thing upon having watched basically every show and film i've watched in close to the last 15 years, 99% of the time i didn't need to log in and post things as my thoughts and questions were generally already matched and answered.

Perhaps i should have posted anyway to just to boost IMDB's metrics :_ .

(*As i said in another message - hopefully if there's a big enough outcry from the community, they'll change their minds :_ .)

Re: WHERE THE F^%# CAN YOU GET SEASON 2 IN THE US??

You're certainly not alone there, I spent far, far more time reading threads and posts than I did writing them and I wrote really long posts.

There are an enormous amount of users who come just to read about what they are watching, I guess those people don't count or register to them.

Re: WHERE THE F^%# CAN YOU GET SEASON 2 IN THE US??

Such a shame :_ .

Re: WHERE THE F^%# CAN YOU GET SEASON 2 IN THE US??

Looks like some posts have been deleted today. Any idea why?
