Utterly bizarre to me that A Very Secret Service (the dubious retitling of Au service de la France) is apparently just not legitimately available to stream anywhere in the UK or US?

@mjg59 there's a lot of antifascist sentiment in it, so maybe that's why?

@mjg59 fwiw, the 2nd season is not nearly as good. We stopped watching around then.

@mjg59 It used to be on HBO (or Netflix?), but now it's more or less only available in France https://www.justwatch.com/no/tv-series/au-service-de-la-france

mjg59@nondeterministic.computer@aslakr Netflix paid for international distribution for a while but removed it in 2023

@mjg59 for the most part, it went from being an absurdist show with a spy theme to an actual spy show with a few absurd characters, and that's not what people started out watching.
