Do they ever plan on making this available outside of the US?


Figured with the announcement of a second season that it would finally be made available, but still nothing.
Even have a PlayStation plus account, but apparently if you live in the UK you're just not allowed to legally watch it.

I assume this is funded by Sony as well, and that being the case I highly doubt all the money spent on it only comes from US customers. Yet they are the only ones who get access to it.

You'd be surprised how much money American consumers spend on products. Sony may have a free online service but their is plenty of things they can buy from it. Also Sony's profits from the US are huge and have a high number of users. Sony spending money on bringing powers to other countries streaming services would cost a lot more then they'd make and user numbers would be very low.

For your question currently Crankle has the entire first season. Crackles streaming service is free but it has commercials. They pay Sony a lot to have it. I don't know if they have crackle outside the US but it's worth a shot.

Here in Denmark. We can watch it on Viaplay (Kinda like Netflix but also with live sports) Dont know if it works in the UK, since its a Scandinavian thing, though its HQ is in London! And we get new episodes the same time as on the Playstation network!

"Spike" have picked up the show for broadcast in the UK. It will begin showing season 1 later this year (sorry no actual date announced).

I had no problems watching it with the official PSN Powers app from Germany when it came out. But who knows, there are some weird location based restrictions on some streaming platforms, so no wonder why it is easier and almost always better quality to pirate tv shows... sad really IMO.

you can just do a search for it and find it that's how I seen it via a website and streamed it. I can't post it here but you shouldn't have a problem locating it. I'm hoping season 2 won't be hard to watch as well.

It on Lightbox in New Zealand.

It's on in the UK right now....on Spike, Friday nights, episode 4 tonight. (repeated Thursday 11pm.)
It's on Freeview so open access to everyone plus on Sky of course.

Ive always thought it was sort of stupid that most shows ratings and box offices really only like to take into account the popularity and money taken in america, even when the show otr movie is huge i other countries or make 5 times more globally so many companies count it as a flop if it doesnt do well domestically. Money is money no matter where it comes from, and hell look at hasselhoff, if he wasnt big in Germany where would he be now. they have to realise that other countries can like something that America doesnt and still make money from it.
