do you have any idea how I might be able to find an old miniseries that isn’t avalable anywhere? (please, it’s the badass girl from my OTP who’s 50 and badass, but it’s from when she was little and tiny in the 80s and you always seem to know how to find stuff)

Hmm, no, not really, most piracy sites are geared toward very recent things. If you tried Netflix/Hulu/Amazon and it’s not there, and looked on youtube and google’s video search, and couldn’t find it, it does get a lot harder. Maybe look up fanpages and see if anybody has it? What’s the series?
