“Apple TV’s app gallery has gained some British flair,” Mike Snider reports for USA Today. “Acorn TV, the streaming home of U.K. television series such as Agatha Christie’s Poirot, recently landed in Apple TV’s App Store.”
“Now is a good time to explore Acorn TV — there’s a 30-day free trial; after that it’s $6.99 monthly or $69.99 annually,” Snider reports. “For British TV binge-watchers, there’s the complete Poirot series starring David Suchet, including the final season and Emmy-nominated last episode, ‘Curtain: Poirot’s Last Case.'”
“Acorn TV has a growing international flavor, too,” Snider reports. “Last month, the service added the third season finale of Australian series A Place to Call Home — deemed ‘Australia’s sexiest soap opera’ by Entertainment Weekly — and began weekly episode premieres of Canadian police drama 19-2, nominated for a dozen Canadian Screen Awards.”

Love Acorn.
If you haven’t seen it check out Foyle’s War, also on Netflix.
If you tot up all these various services that have things worth watching it gets expensive quickly. Sure, you can mix and match, a month here, a month there, but that’s a bit long winded and complicated.
Mmm! Sounds delicious! 🎂
Gee MDN, which is the most relevant to you about not working today?
1) Washington’s Birthday?
2) Federal Holiday?
3) Stock Markets are closed?
Does it really matter that the stock markets are closed for Mac News? Please stop mentioning the stock market closure as an excuse for not publishing.
Considering a lot of stories come from market analysts, and many readers are shareholders, it’s very relevant. This is how it’s always been. MDN isn’t going to change its personality just because one newbie thinks MDN is all about fun and games.
I wonder, are there any other stock markets in the world or financial news papers or web sites in the world? Maybe, to MDN the news that comes from the East isn’t really news and the US of A is the only country that matters in the world.
Ask for a refund and go home.
Please excuse the lack of relies to your comment. This is due to the stock market closure today.
Still waiting for BBC World News and other International Broadcasters. American “news” Networks are a joke.

I’d sign up for Acorn (again) if they’d only intro programming by presenters such as George Clarke, Julia Bradbury, Michael Wood, and Michael Portillo.
