I must be thte only one who like Paramount+

Honestly would rather have the Warner Bros content over there than on Netflix.

Eh, I liked it, but canceled my service after they made a bribe to the current president to approve one of their acquisitions. I like Star Trek plenty, but not enough to support anti-American businesses like Paramount.

I subscribed to SkyShowtime (Euro joint venture from Paramount) for a few months (it was cheap) ... then I realized it doesn't work on Linux... cancelled.

Once they ended 'Lower Decks' I was out.

Star Trek was basically the only reason for Paramount+ to exist.

Once they axed Prodigy and sold season 2 to Netflix (ironic, in retrospect), the writing was on the wall.
