Does anybody have Paramount Plus? Do you think it's good?

Just that, really. It's half price for a year and I'd like to see 1923 and catch up with Yellowstone but I'm wondering if it's worth paying for in general.

It's awful. I never watch anything

TastesLikeStrawberriesOnASummerEvening · 26/12/2023 15:24

I've got it because it was free.
It's crap, I'd never pay for it.
I pay for Sky which includes Netflix, and Prime, the only ones worth it.
I do have Disney, Apple, Discovery+, and Paramount, but only because they are either free or piggybacked.

I just got a six month free trial with sky. Can't actually find one thing I would like to watch.

istolethetalisker · 26/12/2023 15:44

It’s really good if you like Star Trek. Other than that it’s a bit crap. It seems to have more problems with buffering than Netflix or Amazon Prime. It’s got Mean Girls and The Addams Family though.

OfMiceandWomen · 26/12/2023 15:57

I’ve just got it as it was only £36 for the year. I will watch Yellowstone.
I think there is a new drama with Sheridan Smith in starting soon.

gaggiagirl · 26/12/2023 16:08

We have watched among other things ,yellow jackets, yellow stone, Tulsa king, ink master. Currently watching the curse. The film selection is pretty good and there are often new releases. The kids watch SpongeBob and things on it. We've got our money's worth from it and we have renewed for a second year.

Lovewine1975 · 26/12/2023 17:00

I've watched Yellowstone and the spin offs 1883 and 1923, also watched Mayor of Kingston, Tulsa King, The Serial Killers Wife and Your Honour. There are some good shows on there you just have to really look for them.

helpfulperson · 26/12/2023 17:09

I got it for star trek strange new worlds then kept it for the new frasier. Those are worth the money. I'm keeping it for the final series of star trek discovery and then we'll see.

TeaAndStrumpets · 26/12/2023 17:09

We got the half price offer via Prime, paying monthly so I believe we can stop any time. (Hope this is true!)

So far we are watching the new Frasier, and Why Women Kill looks good. Can't see much else but following for ideas!

TeaAndStrumpets · 26/12/2023 17:12

Oh yes Strange New Worlds, we enjoyed the first season on a previous free trial. I think Discovery has been on Netflix but we never really warmed to it.

Dartmoorcheffy · 26/12/2023 17:19

Tulsa King is fab. Serial killers wife was great. There's always good drama series on there. It's probably the channel I watch more than any other.

There's a new drama with Sheridan Smith starting tonight which looks interesting .

FlyingCherub · 26/12/2023 17:21

We use it quite a lot, but there's a lot of crap hiding the better stuff. The Yellowstone spin offs are well worth watching, we absolutely loved them.

Mind you, Netflix is absolutely full of shit these days too. If we didn't get it through Sky, I'm not sure we'd bother.

Oh, those two alone sound like a perfect balanced pairing.

Missingmyusername · 26/12/2023 17:22

Yes we have it, DD wanted to watch monster high. I’ve never watched anything else.
I watch Netflix.

PuppyMonkey · 26/12/2023 17:25

Absolutely hated 1923. Loved 1883 though. Loved Yellowstone obviously.

It’s got the new series of Frasier on, which I’m thinking of re subscribing for. Also something called The Burning Girls, which looks right up my street.

Iwantamarshmallowman · 26/12/2023 17:32

We have it, I don't think it's worth full price. I got it for a flatshare and quantum leap. I couldn't get through the first episode of yellow stone.
DH watched Halo and dungeons and dragons. I'd like to get rid of it but we're still making our way through quantum leap which is brilliant but not eveyone likes science fiction.

Fluffycloudsfloatinginthesky · 26/12/2023 17:40

I just signed up for the year as half price. My DD wanted it for I Carly and I wanted to finish watching flatshare that I started on our flight on holiday.

For £35 it was worth a go.

Pigeonqueen · 26/12/2023 18:10

We got it for Ds who is obsessed with South Park (!) but we’ve never really watched much else on it. Most things you can pay a little extra to watch through Prime so I’d just do that.

BrandyandGinger · 26/12/2023 18:18

Thanks. I've signed up for the free trial and had a good look and I think I'll keep it for a few months anyway.

poppy1973 · 26/12/2023 18:21

We were going to get the half price offer but just decided to do a free weeks trial and then pay for one month at £6.99 and watch what we can in the time. My dh wanted to watch new Star Trek season and didn’t want to pay the £34 as we are trying to cut back a bit

1975wasthebest · 26/12/2023 19:32

I’ve had two one week trials in the past and don’t think much of Paramount + but Tulsa King was OK. The films in general I’ve seen loads of time’s already but I do want to see the Frasier reboot. I’d never pay £5.99 a month for it (I think that’s the full price?).

Mespher · 26/12/2023 20:41

It's similar to Netflix, Prime and Disney, I find the occasional thing on all of them but not a lot, I get Paramount free with Sky cinema but am finding I have to really subscribe to everything at great expense for not much TV. It was much cheaper in the old days when we just paid the licence and Sky and there was just as much to watch.

Mespher · 26/12/2023 20:57

I quite enjoyed The serial killers wife, I'm watching The castaways at the moment and am going to watch Fellow travellers next as it has good reviews

Figgygal · 26/12/2023 22:09

Weve just cancelled sky movies and lost paramount plus
Star trek strange new worlds is great
The kids loved the transformers content
Yellowjackets was good in season one not so good in season 2
