    Me neither. I just cancelled Netflix after having it since day 1 in the UK.

    Thankfully I have a tall ship.

      I’ve sworn off piracy which is interestingly why I wish Netflix did physical media releases.

      I’d rather buy a show than buy access to the show.

        I do both, for things I like anyway. I bought 3 copies of the recent Babylon 5 to help in some small way to hopefully get more of them made.

        Piracy is the only way some times.

        I don’t know what the contract says, of course, but the Paramount that produced the series is a different corporate entity from Paramount+. The former Paramount almost certainly still owns the home video release rights despite the tax write-off from Paramount+.

        The former Paramount did a good job of releasing all of season one across two sets, and are typically very good about home video releases for Star Trek generally, so I wouldn’t be too worried about a physical release.

        Also, Netflix used to do physical releases. I have the first two seasons of Stranger Things on 4K. Would be nice if they ever released the rest. Hulu did the same thing with Handmaid’s Tale; I have the first three or four seasons (whatever they released), and then they stopped.
