Loved it, paid for it, and now it's unavailable?? Both seasons are great (I think I preferred the first, country is more my jam), but seeing as I don't actually have access to either despite google taking my money, I'm pretty unhappy! I'm glad I was able to contribute to the cause, and really bummed I need to find a way to torrent this now. What the hell??
