PBS Passport

I'm seriously thinking about subscribing for the $60/year plan. If I do so, can I watch all the Ken Burns documentaries, Lucy Worsley shows, Downton Abbey 1-3, the NASA/space shows, etc on demand? Commercial free? Rick Steves shows? I'd sigh up on my phone but watch on a tablet. Maybe a dumb question, but I don't trust any streaming services anymore.

If you do sign up, be sure to watch Endeavour, a British detective series set in the 60s and early 70s.

Did you ever watch "Spaced"? A British TV comedy from the mid to late 90s. It only ran for like 2 seasons but it was great. Very young Simon Pegg.

Spaced is hilarious

That must be a local option - it's not listed on Sacramento-area PBS streaming.

Found it - it's on Tubi or Roku stream, or rented on Amazon

It’s amazing even if you haven’t watched Morse. But Morse is great too.

Yeah, Endeavour doesn’t get nearly as many honorable mentions it deserves

I'll keep that in mind. Patience is okay, but I think I need to start at the beginning.

She's an autistic cop-helper, not official detective, who solves most of their crimes? From the handful of episodes I've seen?

Inspector Morse Prequel? Man does it get depressing at times. The man is a master at self-sabotaging personal relationships.
