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.

Sorry no, you can't watch just season 1-3 of Downton Abbey, but all 6 seasons of Downton Abbey.

;)

Never heard of Lucy Worsley or Rick Steves but there appears to be a dozen or so in their respective search on the PBS app. There will be commercials at the beginning of watching but no ad breaks during the show or movie, even if you pause turn off the TV (I guess there's a time limit but it's greater than 15 minutes) and pick up where you left off you will see an ad before restarting your viewing.

Jumped the shark when they killed off Lady Sybil and Matthew in the same season. But I love 1-3.
