Television Series You've asked and we have been listening! Many of you have expressed that, although it is so great to take a full season of television series home to view for free, it is often difficult to get through an entire season in one week. We thought of splitting up the series into individual disks to alleviate the problem but, instead, the loan period has been extended to 14 days. Enjoy!
