It's for the best. Drop Paramount plus immediately. They gave Trump money recently instead of defending 60 minutes.

All so the company of David Ellison, son of CIA man Larry Ellison could merge with Paramount. Larry Ellison even named his company (Oracle) after the CIA's Project Oracle.

I love the show but have no idea how to watch it

Its been so long since I hoisted the colours I don't even know how to do it these days. I used to be really good at it but got too comfortable back when all the streaming services were affordable.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It really is super easy these days. As another poster said using Sonarr (tv) and Radar (movies) then sign up for a nzb indexer like nzbgeek or drunkenslug and your download client like SABnzbd it's as simple as telling the *arr apps what you want to download.

For extra convenience use a *seerr server like Jellyseerr to get recommendations and a better searching experience.

And Usenet service like eweka

A quick shortcut for this show if you go the torrent+VPN route...

Site: 1337x.to (USE AN ADBLOCKER!)

Search: South Park Q22 Joy

One of the top 5 results is a 70GB torrent with the first 21 seasons in it. All in 1 stop. Season 22 should be near it in the results as well.

There's a few good options for the other 4 seasons (S23-S26) and specials there too. Vyndros and QxR are both very good encoders/groups.

Setup sonarr and use NZB instead of torrents. And a VPN, of course.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

VPN is not really needed for newsgroups...yet. But once I get my first strike using it I will definitely be implementing one. But it has been years and never a strike.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I will always recommend one when sailing the high seas. Even if the ISP doesn't catch you, the government might.

But you're right, my VPN is mostly for if the system has to use torrents because my newsgroup doesn't have a specific release.

I am sitting in the same boat in drydock with you.

[–] jbone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

You can find most movies/TV shows on the following torrent trackers:

rutracker.org

mazepa.to

The first audio track is in russian or Ukrainian, but they always have English audio tracks as well (just set eng audio defaults in your player).

The selection is far wider than any streaming service and there is lots of rare stuff (classic movies, grindhouse, art house).

For rarer content you may have to download in advance. For mainstream stuff you can start streaming as soon you start the torrent (select "download first and last" and "download in order in your client).

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Step 1. Download Realplayer.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That brings me back. I remember watching South Park episodes on Realplayer in the late 90s.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I can hear the compression artifacts.

[–] sasquash@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The German SouthPark website has all episodes for free. Even in English: https://www.southpark.de/en

But I guess you need a VPN. Actually I am surprised that this isn't the case everywhere.

[–] Iamsqueegee@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 weeks ago

It’s on Max, HBO, or whatever they’re known as now.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The behind the scenes drama is going to get interesting. South Park is a decent franchise, but I don’t know that it’s worth $3 billion. I’m not surprised Sundance balked at approving this contract.
