Netflix has the whole of Great British Bake Season 5 on August 31. I've been waiting for Google play to release the episodes..but they stopped after episodes 6. What good is that. AND NO ONE AT GOOGLE PLAY HAS ANY ANSWERS, AS TO WHY THEY CAN'T GET EPISODES OF A SHOW THAT THEY SELL. Google play store a waste of my time. I am going to request a refund because Google play can not sell me the rest of the series.

Slow releases of new episodes. As of Aug. 15th, iTunes has three additional episodes not released on Google Play. Very disappointed as this is one of my favorite shows. I would have spent my money elsewhere had I known this was to happen. I'll definitely keep this in mind when making future purchases, especially for new shows that are not completely released.

It is my absolute favorite show! I get caught up in their British accents and lingo, and I love how proper they are to one another. The hosts are hilarious and have genuine camaraderie. My favorite thing is the scenery. It's heavenly with the green rolling hills, ducks frolicking in the ponds, and sheep grazing lazily in fields of wildflowers. I have learned so much about baking and have tried many new bakes as a result of this show.
