• The Assassin (2025)

    From anim8rfsk@21:1/5 to All on Fri Aug 1 23:57:07 2025
    OK yesterday a couple of you diseased maniacs (I’m pretty sure one of you with Suzi Q) mentioned watching this on the Amazon prime.

    So I went to the prime last night and found a couple dozen things with the
    word assassin in the title, but not what you were talking about.

    So I went to JustWatch and found it there, but it says it’s only available
    on Amazon and claims I don’t get prime. What?

    So I went to the Amazon prime app and by God it doesn’t list it.

    So I went back to JustWatch and found it again and clicked on it and it
    opened up a window trying to sign me up for a free trial of Amazon prime.

    I am totally mystified.

    Wow.. That's bizarre behavior that I can't explain.

    As to what you need to do to watch is use a VPN to set your location
    to the UK and then login to Prime video. For the moment the show is
    only available in the UK or on the gray.

    Oh, OK, that explains it. Thank you very much!

    Probably wouldn't work for me - I have a daughter who lives in the UK
    while I have a Canadian Prime account, when I tried to send her
    something last Christmas they were going to send it from Canada (at
    extra expense of course) so I signed up for a trial Amazon UK account
    intending to cancel afterwards and they stuck me for an extra month
    even after I explained WHY I wanted this particular shipment shipped
    FROM the UK TO the UK.

    Moral of the story: BEWARE!

    In Canada it is available on CTV Drama Monday nights.

    In New Zealand the show is available on the free ThreeNow streaming service. https://www.threenow.co.nz/shows/the-assassin/1751932526621

    It will probably air on one of their free-to-air broadcast TV channels
    soon (often a few weeks after the streaming is available) ... assuming
    the new Sky TV buyout doesn't change things too quickly.
