Sorry if this has already been posted, but I only saw an ad for this show today. CBC Gem is CBC's online streaming service - I don't know if it's geoblocked, but you can watch shows on it for free (with ads) if you open an account.

Yes, I'm afraid it is geoblocked. I got excited because it was showing ads. However, I got the message after the ads that anyone outside of Canada wouldn't be able to watch. I sort of figured that would happen.

I believe it's also available on many other free tv app sites too (Tubi, Pluto, Roku, among others.) I haven't gotten around to watching it yet but I will eventually!

I just watched it, and he was pretty direct in the media about judging and Russian Men's skaters while he was still competiting. That took major cajones.

It's not blocked on YouTube. Thanks for the link, @love skating!

I saw this the other day. On Pluto tv. It was really good. I got a sense of what his skating was all about. Would’ve loved to see one of those shows.
