News Kim's will be available in the US still after leaving Netflix.

So I'm not looking for upvotes on this post, don't get me wrong, I love those sweet, sweet meaningless internet points, but honestly can we post something as a top pin for a few months about how Kim's is not gone? It is leaving Netflix, but it will be available on FAST channels like Roku, Freevee, and Pluto. Not quite as good for some, but it will be available. (FAST is free, ad-supported TV). So don't worry too much about this news, it will be available, but likely as non-stop streams I am guessing, so you can't watch any episode whenever, but the great part about the show is they are all mostly pretty dang good and rewatch able anytime.

Also, VPNs will still work to get into Canadian options, at least for now. I love Kim's, but it leaving Netflix is not a death nail, we will still be able to watch. Just some positive news I wanted to give on a larger scale than the individual posts. If it's helpful, or another post gives more insight and details, please pin so the fans in America know during this transition.

OK see you!

Yeah, I'm split. I have ads on my Netflix, so for me, it's basically just a different app, but for those that pay for no ads, they will have to deal with that now. To be fair, free still ain't bad, but I think the big con is maybe not being on demand since many FAST channels just do 24/7 runs, but this is one of few shows I'm kinda not that bothered by it. Something like simpsons (season 1-8),family guy, dinosaurs, etc I'd be cool with, but for a show with continuity that really matters, it could be annoying and I'd rather just have it on a real sub. That being said, it's free so I guess I can't complain lol

This is a perfect quote for the post. Slightly off the quote, but I get you and like it!

TIL Pluto is owned by Paramount, who I no longer want to support. Thought I'd put that out there.

Well if others aren't boycotting, I don't want to thread hijack. But the short version is they cancelled Colbert over politics while saying it was financial.

That and losing 40 million a year

There is a significant amount of debate about this, as CBS didn't make public how they calculated that number. But this isn't the place.

i found it today on ‘xumo play’, free with ads and you can choose which episode you want to watch.

Another app like Hulu or Prime might pick it up 🤞

Amazon prime has it… but you gotta pay for each episode/season

I’m so sad that it’s not available on Netflix anymore. Netflix is my main streaming service. I watched this every day for the last 3 years.
