In April 2020, Acorn TV was made available through Amazon Channels for Prime UK members as an add-on subscription. Acorn TV was previously available through Amazon channels only in the US

I PURCHASED AN ACORN SUBSCRIPTION THRU AMAZON PRIME AND WHEN I WENT TO WATCH ONE OF THEIR PROGRAMS “SUSPECTS” SEASONS 3, 4, OR 5 IT SAID I MUST PURCHASE THESE SEASONS. WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING A SUBSCRIPTION IF I HAVE TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL SEASON OF THE PROGRAM THAT WAS INITIALLY LISTED TO BE A PART OF ACORN
Why would I pay £4.99 a month for a lot of content I have seen, when I could get netflix for same price, acorn is overpriced
