Some of the best series ever made was on there. Should try something like Line of Duty before you talk.

Was there anything worth watching on that service?

If you used the seas you would not have to care about it either.

I'm not surprised
They kept cancelling their original shows

A few series could not make Acorn any better. It was poor value compared to competing streaming services.
