Amazon Prime is weird. I have Amazon Prime (because I keep forgetting to cancel it) and that normally means get free postage on some stuff. To watch it, I have to use my Xbox, which is just weird.
Then when you get it, half of the stuff you have to pay extra for. Not exactly overwhelming. Pretty sure someone will have ripped it to a torrent? I can't bring myself to watch it really, a) it's commissioned by the owner, so as Sean said, sanitised and b) we all know how it ends (and Bielsa is hardly in it) They're doing it this season as well? Surely they'd have been better served doing last season as part of the overall narrative of going up? -----Original Message----- From: Leedslist <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Guy Thornton Sent: 21 August 2019 09:14 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LU] LU: Take Us Home Interesting. I've seen various reviews and comments about the documentary. Some good, some less so. One of the criticisms was a lack of Bielsa, at least talking. The problem is how to watch it? I know it's on Amazon Prime which I don't have and anyway someone here has just tried taking out a trial subscription to Amazon Prime Video in order to watch it only to get the message 'This title isn't available in your location.' guy On 21 Aug 2019 at 1:38, seanscribe--- via Leedslist wrote: > So I finally finished the documentary this evening.
