Reality tv is hit or miss depending on popularity and how old it is. Retention plays a part is this too, but most Usenet providers worth subbing to have crazy long retention times.
I personally use Sonarr for tv and it’s stupid easy to use (once everything is set up!), you just search for your show and it knows when it airs and auto-grabs new episodes. You can also tell it to look for past seasons.
The whole “getting Usenet setup and running” is a little more complicated than I’d like to get into with this post, but you’ll need the following: a Usenet provider, an indexer (both of these will cost money but it’s not a lot and annual payments, or lifetime, is usually the way to go), a newsreader (I use SABnzbd), and a web app to track shows and initiate searches (I use Sonarr, as previously mentioned).
I’m sure someone else here can post a link to a good guide to getting started with Usenet if that’s the direction you want to go.
TLDR: it depends on the show
I'd like the link to that guide if it comes along tag me in the post please, mysterious stranger. Signed up for DS earlier and probably going with eweka for provider.
Question for you though if you know, where am I likely to find the absolute strangest and rarest shit that isn't by any means new or popular? DS seems ok but is there another one I should keep in mind with that type of content?
