Acorn TV/Content Television Not to belabor the obvious, but when you’re writing about streaming services, you discover a lot of them — and then find a whole lot more.

I suppose you would learn that anyway, scrolling through offerings on Amazon Fire or Google Chromecast or a Roku, or just an app store. One could spend a month or more digging around Hero Talkies (“Watch Tamil Movies”) or In. Tube (“Watch Indian Films”) or Hindi Movies (no tagline, but pretty self- explanatory). You also learn that services come and go.

If you click on an app for a service and get a message that it hasn’t updated for the current operating system on your device, there’s a good chance its extinction is imminent. Learning that a streaming site has up and disappeared is arguably more irritating than finding out a movie you’ve had on a service’s watchlist has been deleted from the service. That said, much of the excitement of streaming is in the ability to get more of what you love (or think you might love).

Acorn TV, an offshoot of Acorn Video, is not primarily a movie service.

The episode, “Facta Non Verba,” is on the Acorn service.)Better- than- decent adaptations of classic material like Agatha Christie’s “The Witness for the Prosecution” are plentiful on Acorn. And the movies it does have are largely noteworthy. There’s the 2. 00. BBC Film “The Falklands Play,” a fast- paced, quick- witted movie about the Falklands War in which the great British actress Patricia Hodge (“Betrayal”) portrays Margaret Thatcher, a performance that actually gives Meryl Streep’s portrayal of the British prime minister in “The Iron Lady,” from 2.

The Urban Movie Channel, or UMC, also features five features directed by the Ghanaian filmmaker Leila Djansi, including her most recent, “Like Cotton Twines,” from 2. The drama is a sensitive, beautifully shot story about “trokosi,” described in the opening as “a practice of religious slavery found in parts of Western Africa,” in which a virgin girl is given up by a family whose member has been found guilty of a crime. The picture depicts an American teacher in Ghana (Jay Ellis of the HBO series “Insecure”) attempting to rescue a student from being traded away by her father.
