As soon as a TV show is over it’s available at a “link site” for streaming or download. (”letmewatch” is the big one at this time.)
Episodes on the link sites have no commercials. It’s great not to have to sit through the ads but since the networks can’t seem to shut these sites down why don’t they try for legislation to get the ads included so they can charge a few more bucks for the ads?
Half a loaf is better than none.
I have noticed that Korean shows are online immediately (licensed sites like Viki and DramaFever pay for them with a few ads) upon airing and volunteers add subtitles to them.
This would work for US shows too, I would think
