New, what is it? Small prophet object - water device on bed?

What is this thing ? At first I thought it was an old CPAP and then an espresso machine!

Small prophets is a TV series in the UK.

The object is... well. An object.

If that helps.

It’s not a well what?

It’s not a well object - it has some kind of medical malady

It's a source of water in the morning, so...

Ohh. It is as if proper punctuation, including capitals, makes reading something easier. 😑

(Displeased with OP, not you).

Silly idea. It'll never catch on.

Clearly it hasn’t. Educational books on grammar and punctuation have been around for decades, if not centuries, and the internet exists, yet here we are devolving into cavemen. Pretty soon we’ll be back to painting pictographs on walls.

Somehow I came to the comments expecting "small prophet object" to be some UK slang for a toilet paper holder.

Somehow it still involves the UK

I’m still really sad it’s not on any American streaming service. It seems like a great program.

Check out [r/piracy](r/piracy). Look at the sidebar and find the megathread with the wiki. It has beginner steps listed at the top. Once you got a decent understanding of the beginner steps, start perusing the guides section.

u/U_zer2 21h ago

Wow they just put it up October 7th!!!! How cool is this!?

u/whatsthisonmychicken 20h ago

The rest will follow and I think the second season will be on there at the same time as BBC iplayer too :) I hope he finds Clea :D

u/BigInSheboyganGus 20h ago

First two and third comes out today? Or tomorrow.

u/Gelatin_Belatin 19h ago

I watched episode 3 yesterday. I started watching over the weekend, and I didn’t realize that all the episodes weren’t out yet, but I’ll need something to fill the hole in my heart where new episodes of Ted Lasso used to be. 🤷‍♀️

u/One-Yellow1504 19h ago

It’s on Apple

u/starfish_carousel 19h ago

It’s being released weekly on Apple TV. Episode 3 just dropped.

u/BeeBeeMee 18h ago

It’s on Apple !!

As soon as you said “UK” I knew it made tea.

u/BigInSheboyganGus 20h ago

Apple TV has American rights. You can grab it off the internet if you don’t want to wait.

Brilliant series but that’s not surprising as it’s from Mackenzie Crook and all of his work is wonderful.

u/BigInSheboyganGus 20h ago

Are we sure it’s well? They’re hardly ever washed up or tidied.

u/----Bender---- 19h ago

Amazing TV show by the way

u/No_Lavishness1905 19h ago

Oh. Well capitalisation would have helped.

u/ConstantlyLearning57 18h ago

Quotes would have been helpful. Or italics if OP wanted extra credit.
