The special (documentary) episode will be shown here in the US near the end of April.  Probably after the series episodes are done.

I just checked.  It is already up on PBS.ORG.  If you are a Passport member, you can watch it now.

This should show up on my Watch List; But, I guess because it's labeled an "insignificant" special, it doesn't. I hope I don't forget to come back to it when I have time.

Yeah, they only show eps 1 - 4 on PBS.org. Maybe by the time they air it they'll schedule the documentary too. If you stream or torrent I did see it available for either. It's a gripping, albeit frustrating, show. Too typical a story I'm afraid. The kind that rarely comes to a satisfactory end..

Series itself to be on PBS starting early April 2024.  Nothing found about this special tho.  Anyone?
