''Blockbuster'' on NETFLIX - the heights of irony?

"From the makers of "BROOKLYN NINE-NINE" & "SUPERSTORE" comes "BLOCKBUSTER" - a comedy series about 'the last BLOCKBUSTER (video-rental store) in existence.'
And I'm watching it on NETFLIX---the very service that (the show says) has put BLOCKBUSTER Video out of business!
It's like watching a TV news-broadcast about 'the last living town-crier' (if I'm right in thinking that 'town criers' used to be people's news-source).
Another irony ... I don't think the show is available anywhere-but-NETFLIX (maybe it's on hulu & peacock & amazon prime---I dunno ...)
I've only seen one episode (and I guess I'll go ahead and watch the other 9, though I don't know if there's any "story" beyond 'we're here to bring back human connection'). Are you watching it? What are your thoughts about it?

@Dreamerby Are they available there (and you just don't have the income to handle it)?
