      "question": "Where can I watch Butterflies in the UK?",
      "answer": "Butterflies (1978) is not currently listed by any UK streaming, rental, or purchase service in our daily-updated TMDB feed. It may be on physical media, an aggregator, or pending a UK release. Check back later — availability changes frequently."

    {
      "question": "Are all seasons of Butterflies on the same service?",
      "answer": "Not always — TV licensing is sometimes negotiated season by season. ScreenSearch shows availability across all seasons on the title's page; for season-specific availability, look at the season picker inside the search dialog."

    {
      "question": "Is Butterflies on Netflix, Disney+ or Amazon Prime Video in the UK?",
      "answer": "Butterflies is not currently included with any major UK subscription service. It may still be available to rent or buy."

    {
      "question": "How accurate is this TV series's availability data?",
      "answer": "Availability is sourced from The Movie Database (TMDB), which in turn pulls from JustWatch. Listings are refreshed daily. For purchase decisions, the provider's own site is the source of truth."
