I don't understand that either, but it seems a lot of (mostly young) people do it.

It would also use up a LOT of battery life and data. And you'd have to subscribe or pay for it, just like with streaming services on a TV or computer. Yeah you can watch on the go, but I can wait till I'm comfortable at home. World is too noisy to watch TV on a phone in public.

I have to watch TV ON a TV, not a tiny screen not much bigger than my hand.

Captions on a phone ARE tiny; I've seen them on YouTube videos. And my eyes are bad enough, even with glasses.

Another show on PBS I loved was an Australian series called 800 Words. It hasn't been on in years here.

Shetland has a series 6 and 7 too I believe. You can see it in the UK or on those streaming things.....
