A while ago I came across this Irish show on Hulu —“Trivia” starring David Pearse, who I’m familiar with from a handful of small roles going back to “An Everlasting Piece” (a comedy about wigs in strife-torn Belfast).

I loved it. Fantastic writing, acting, production. Plus I myself am the leader of a trivia team that plays at a local restaurant. I saw two fine seasons and was hoping for a third.

Unfortunately it’s disappeared from Hulu and seems to not be available anywhere, not even on DVD.

Anyone else like this show? Know of anyway to get hold of it?

I haven’t heard of it, but I love British and Australian shows. My two sources for them nowadays are [AcornTV](https://signup.acorn.tv/) and [BritBox](https://www.britbox.com/)(an amazon add-on subscription). Might be available there.

Bummer. Check back from time to time, because shows come and go.

I have no answer to the actual question at hand, but a friend recently recommended a New Zealandish … a New Zealandian … a show from New Zealand on Acorn TV about a pub trivia team. Its called something like _Nothing Trivial_. Maybe that could hold you over until _Trivia_ pops up again.
