      Paramount removed all the Star Trek movies from their own streaming service, and gave them to HBO MAX. They have always billed their streaming service as “All things trek”, but now they don’t allow you to stream their own properties on their own streaming service.

        That and hiking their prices like the rest of the streaming services while having a fraction of the new content.

          it’s like 5.99 to watch 45 minute shows with 5+ 120 second ad breaks. I instantly canceled and went an alternate route

              I pay the higher rate for “ad free”, but now I see ads before starting programs. Quite irritating. I assume if I read the fine print, I’ll find that “ad free” changed at some point along the line to “fuck you, we’re showing ads and you’ll like it”.

              We also have numerous issues with the Paramount+ app on our FireTV - frequent crashes, trouble starting playback, and other things. It’s by far the buggiest app we use.

            I cut the cord so I wouldn’t have to watch commercials and there is no way in hell I am ever going back to them. And if they start having ads on all the services, I guess there will be a lot more piracy.

            Ghosts is such a great show. I didn’t even want to watch the US version because I didn’t want to know how they ruined it.

              I tried the first episode of the US version after watching the 2 UK seasons on the app. I was like nope. Everything about it felt worse.

                If you finish the UK show and want more, the same people behind it made a comedy fantasy show called Yonderland. It has most of the same cast (although some of them are just doing voices because there are puppets).
