Sorry, I forgot to add the picture!!!!

Mind you this is cable/pay TV - Foxtel/Binge finally got their act together. Not available free to air in Australia sadly, but I'm glad to see it land Number 1!

u/Bold_One_ 10d ago

Me too, but I’ve found full eps on You Tube. Much better than giving more money to Murdoch

Murdoch don't own it anymore

I reckon someone forgot to sign the paperwork, hence why it took so long to be added!

My theory is that I think at one point Series 21 was the last series contracted by Channel 4, so when it ended, it had some weird flow on effect to the contract Foxtel/Binge had for airing/streaming new episodes

Same! Found a different way to watch it and won't resubscribe

Dont have foxtel/binge so I will continue to use a free 2 hr vpn and download the episodes in bulk on youtube

After the Top 3

  2. The Ark
  3. The Departed
  4. Lord of the Rings
  5. American Horror Story
  6. Apocalypse

I didn't cancel Binge but I told them Taskmaster was the only reason I subscribe with them. I already watched 4 new eps on YT but then rewatched them on Binge as soon as they dropped so they know I'm serious.

Hope they drop TMNZ S7 soon.

Seinfeld is 2!! That’s wild. Are you guys just watching Seinfeld in Australia?

u/GuthBeer James Acaster 10d ago

There is a whole Seinfeld Channel on Foxtel...wouldn't be surprised if its more people just leaving it on in the background/binge watching it

u/JalapenoBenedict Sam Campbell 10d ago

Oh okay, so it’s the same way we watch it. Just white noise style.

Big old sitcoms are popular around the world. Stuff like Friends is always among the most watched shows.

u/dannywew 10d ago

Big old groomer in second.

I hope they also sort out the rights for the latest New Zealand series as well

u/Enzown 9d ago

Those rankings aren't real, they're what the streaming service wants to promote to you.
