Trouble viewing a particular show on Apple TV

Apple TV wont play Brothers. Other shows are OK. Whats going on?

if it was me then I would likely try to

pull the plug on appletv and the wifi router and try again


and if that did not help then I would try

reportaproblem.apple.com.

What happens when you try to play an episode of Brothers?

Does it issue an error? If so, what does it say?

What other shows are you watching that work correctly?

Can you play say Ted Lasso? Or The Morning Show correctly?

Do you have an active Apple TV subscription?



Yes, I haven’t been able to view new episodes on brothers since I viewed the first one. I’ve been trying for five days now, but I’m able to stream other shows on Apple TV. Looks like I’m not the only one having this issue. We’ve done everything Technical we know how to do on this end. There’s definitely something wrong with the script on this show.
