I think I responded to this thread some time last week. I had thought it would be a good series. So I'd bought the season pass on iTunes. But then, following a suggestion made on this list, I downloaded the PBS APP and the first four episodes were available with audio description even without the PBS Passport for supporting the local station. The reason the audio was described is because my local station is WGBH in Boston which wouldn't dare not describe because of the large blimd community here. Bottom line: audio description is in the control of your local PBS channel. That’s really sad. But I think it’s true.
