Most Dangerous Game: New York - Doesn't show up

Roku Live TV has the ads for "Most Dangerous Game: New York" ; however, when I go to the Roku Channel on any of my Roku-TVs, the Roku-Stick, or even from the Roku-Channel-Website this series does not show up.

I've tried searching for the series both from within the Roku Channel and from the Home-Screen search and all that turns up are the original movies that I either have to rent or have a subscription to the pay-service.

The only way I've been able to find the series is to use a search-engine that then takes me to the landing page for the show.

What gives?

    Basically Roku is lying and I’m cancelling my subscription.  I’ve tried every way to access this show even through MGM+ as they claim you can with no luck. False advertising. Bad business.

    Hi Basic_User,

    Welcome, and thanks for reaching us here in the Roku Community.

    This particular series is available on the platform, but it can only be accessed through premium subscriptions on MGM+, Fandor, Midnight Pulp, and Screenbox on The Roku Channel. This means that the content is not free, but rather a premium service that requires a subscription.

    Thanks,

    Rey

      Hi ERey,

       

      Thanks for letting us know this, but couldn't Roku have made this easier to discover?

       

      I don't have a Roku device, and don't want one.  But I don't mind subscribing to Roku.


      So I tried to set up a yearly or monthly subscription an hour ago.  Not a 'free trial', but just a subscription to get started and watch Most Dangerous Game: New York first.

      But Roku makes it impossible to simply start the subscription.  I have to do the 7 day free trial first.

      Fine, I went ahead and started the trial.  But now I can't find Most Dangerous Game: New York streaming anywhere.

       

      Where do we find MGM+, Fandor, Midnight Pulp, and Screenbox on Roku?  Is it necessary to have a Roku device, or can we do it through the android app?

       

      Can you just forward a link to some of these premium services so I can get started watching the movies or tv programs I like?  This is just too complicated, trying to figure out how to get the good stuff that's advertised everywhere without a specific link.
