Netflix is soon set to remove Babylon, a comedic police drama starring James Nesbitt and Nicola Walker, from its service.
The 2014 Channel 4 series follows a police force in London that wants to revamp its negative image and get on board with the new social media the kids are using.
A bigwig American is roped in to help with the process, instantly clashing with established workers who believe that they can do things their own way.
The final day to watch Babylon on Netflix is 17 August, meaning it's only been available to stream on the platform for a year.
At the time of writing, it's not available to stream on any other platforms, but there's only a few episodes to get through.

In addition to Nesbitt and Walker, the show boasts a big cast including A Murder at the End of the World's Brit Marling, Wonka's Paterson Joseph, Waterloo Road's Jill Halfpenny, The Day of the Jackal's Nick Blood, and Black Panther's Daniel Kaluuya.
The show was created by 28 Years Later's Danny Boyle, Succession's Jesse Armstrong, and Peep Show's Sam Bain, and Robert Jones.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the show has a score of 74% positive from 19 critic reviews.
One glowing review came from The Observer, which wrote: "I still consider it my duty to inform you when there is a new show you absolutely HAVE to watch. And Babylon... is one of those shows. Sorry, everybody. Add it to your queue. It's like The Wire meets In the Loop meets The IT Crowd."
"This is a series worth tracking down and watching," added The Hollywood Reporter, while Vulture called it "as purely pleasurable as a show can be while still being serious".
Babylon is available on Netflix until 17 August.
