The thing is…a lot of media will never hit physical copies.

Has anything from Apple TV+ been released on DVD?

She's going to be appearing in a Disney+ show for Marvel. None of those have ever been released for purchase either (and probably never will be).

Apparently, according to the article at least, she and her husband wanted to watch ~~The Sopranos~~ Top Chef season 20, they couldn't figure out how to get Hulu+Live to work, so they ended up buying the Sopranos on iTunes.

But I'm pretty sure The Sopranos had a physical release.

For a brief time I used Netflix, I was not impressed with the fluctuations of encoding/streaming quality.(yep, I know it's early days.) Fast forward to this year, I visited my friend's place to have a get together, one pick something to watch and yet with gigabit fibre internet it still looks shit and pixelated until it "catches up".

I'd buy downloads instead cause I can zoom around the show without worrying the quality.
