    That wording manages to avoid answering the question entirely. It just shifted the ambiguity from defining the word “brick” to defining the word “recoverable”. Recoverable by your grandmother with dementia, before the next Matlock episode airs? Recoverable by one person on Earth for whom unbricking this one thing is their special interest? Recoverable by a hypothetical future technotopian society that we predict will be capable of vaporizing atoms and rearranging them into any desired form? Do you draw a hard line in the sand for everyone to share one definition? Or is it entirely subjective, a tautology, a self-fulfilling prophecy - meaning anyone’s feeling of brickiness and recoverability is valid by definition?

    This. I want a streaming service that has more or less every movie and TV show ever made before, let's say ten years ago.

    Fair enough if Disney etc. want to keep new stuff exclusive to them. Also, fair enough if certain big evergreen content is kept exclusive (Star Wars, classic Disney movies etc.).

    But, seriously, why can't I go to one service and watch every Cary Grant movie, or every movie directed by John Ford, or every episode of Remington Steele, or every episode of Matlock or whatever.

    > There are many things that separate it from most.

    Matlock is another great detective(?) show for self-contained episodes.
