UK viewers would easily pay 50¢ to stream an episode though, that's only ~30p. For a series they'd be paying that once a fortnight it seems (USA sourced shows appear to be doing fortnightly showing now?), so > $1 a month.

How can taking 3 times the monthly subscriber profit for a single show harm them? Are they really making more selling that one show to other networks than they take selling their whole network to customers?

Instead it looks like it's $2 per episode on Amazon Instant, which is USA only or at least not in the UK. Instead UK has LoveFilm which doesn't have individual episodes and apparently requires mailing a DVD for you to watch Breaking Bad.

I've seen adverts for this show in the UK and find it weird that you can't just buy it and watch it.
