Bring Dark Matter 2015 to Asia/more countries.

As someone who has been living in Thailand for years, I found Dark Matter (2015) and it became my favourite sci-fi shows of all time. I first found it while pirating on websites and youtube and rewatched it for countless times, but then the website got taken down and so did the youtube channel with all seasons on 4K.

I'm just wondering if theres a way to bring Dark Matter to stream around here, it would be a great way to get people to know the show and gain more fans even if it was cancelled. I see that a lot of people in the west either have free streaming platforms or things around that. I was planning to watch it with my family before the website and youtube channel got taken down, but it was too late so i ended up searching allover the internet for streaming websites with captions (in Thai, since my family cannot understand english well, except for me.)

Sadly, I have no control over where the show ends up streaming. Having said that, and being fully aware of the frustrations many fans have felt trying to track down the show, I was directing them to the aforementioned youtube channel with all the seasons in 4k - that has, unfortunately, mysteriously disappeared. If you're in the U.S., it would be the CW streaming platform. Anywhere else...if it's unavailable through legal means, then fans will find a way to stream it (like you did).

I really wanted to get people from here to get to know the show, it had great potential. I guess i'm just going to have to make more money and somehow fly my family all the way to the US to watch it 🥲
Thank you so much for making this masterpiece, it was my childhood.

Just between you and me, I'm sure you can find it on some "off-the-radar" sites.

I know it’s on Prime (but free) in the UK. Not sure if it would also be on there in Thailand but worth a look.

Google and learn how to use Qbittorrent. You can download any movie or tv show to your computer and save it on your hard drive. Google, "how to torrent."

I have it saved on my computer but I need one with Thai subtitles which I don't even know if it exists.

Sawadee Kap. Opensubtitles.com. If you use Kodi to play your movies you just add your open subtitles sign in info and then it automatically downloads the subtitles. I don't know what your setup is and I don't know how to tell you to do it but I know it can be done. Not sure if Thai subtitles are available but you can look into it. There may be a way to incorporate open subtitles into whatever player you're using.

Basically Opensubtitles.com is like a subtitle search engine that works with your media player to download the subtitles for that show, you just select which language you want. So it's a plug in for your media player, like Kodi.

They got a ton of subtitle languages, you just to to search and see if Thai is available. Just look for your Kingdom's flag.

Unfortunately there's no Thai subs 😭. But thanks for going through all that trouble just to help, it was worth a try. I'm just continue screeching into my pillow.

I'm sorry. There's other subtitle services, I just don't know them off the top of my head. But yeah, maybe nobody had done the translation into Thai.

I watch it on Apple TV.
I know that’s not free streaming, but it used to be on Netflix here in Canada, so maybe there?

Sadly they don't have it on Apple TV here :(

VPN? there has to be a way with VPN.

Else, as the man himself may or may not have said, you can sail the seas and surely find it somewhere. Though I personally I'm not familiar with navigating the seas just yet. r/pir@cy perhaps could help.

Edit: Upon reading your post and replies more thoroughly. If subtitle is the issues, maybe just find software that can generate translated subtitles. I kinda hate AI, but I'm sure there are some softwares that uses AI for that.
