Well yeah. A lot of people did that before. But it just isn't a safe option any longer. The issue are those "time exclusive rights" that are sold to television companies. They own the right to show it in a given territorial area (and those contracts often last for many years, including newer episodes and seasons).

Netflix has even sold the rights to some of their own productions to European television companies (when Netflix was basically US only). So they can't even provide those on their own platform when releasing a new episode. And unless you're willing to pay for a whole bundle of stuff you don't care about for watching one single series there isn't really a legal way for watching it.

As I don't want to do that, I just wait another year for it to appear as BlueRay/DVD (still cheaper that TV subscription) or to appear on FreeTV.

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
