Great selections of movies and shows
I originally set my subscription up for the show American Rust but it never got renewed. I stuck around for Dexter and watched yellow jackets. I decided not to renew my subscription since they decided not to renew
American Rust. And since then there were many shows or movies that would interest me to resubscribe. Now I have the paramount plus and able to watch showtime! Every now and then there are great movies that peaks my interest which is awesome. However… I’m not sure if it’s just the movie or on shows too but the caption option is kind of useless. When I have it on it just places the captions anywhere on the screen blocking a scene or a face and it moves it around. So that’s annoying. Sometimes I like to use the caption if some of the dialogue is not clear or I can’t have the volume up too loud to prevent disturbing my elderly grandmother while monitoring her.

Infinite Storm Review (and side note about HBOmax)
(This review box popped up and I don’t know if it is for HBO or the movie i just watched). Anyway,a phenomenal experience; so much more than a movie. I’ve never seen a better piece of art about grief..this is up there with Picasso’s war painting/s, The Scream, Bird Song (by Phillip Glass) and perhaps Deer Hunter and Toni Morrison’s Beloved and John Trudel’s life.
As for showtime…liking much here..therapeutic some of it like the movie infinite storm. Would be nice to effect play speeds and perhaps have place for social connection/comments or whatever though the latter is probably way too much to ask. Can’t believe what is available these days to watch (and the quality too) compared to the old days not long ago.

Trash
This application is terrible. I watch shows on my Apple TV often through Showtime. Going on a work trip I decided to try the app. Terrible mistake. Downloaded the app and logged in just fine. Even downloaded several movies for the long flight. NONE of the movies would play correctly. The stuttered and stopped often and the sound and video would be out of sync when they started playing again. I spent and hour going through starting and stopping a movie, force closing the app for get a few more minutes of movie. Eventually the choppy view was too much and I stopped. When I arrived at the hotel and got onto wifi the same problems showed. I thought it might be my device so I opened Netflix, downloaded and movie and turned off wifi. The download played flawlessly. Opened iTunes, another great viewing experience. Tried Showtime app one last time, again terribly unwatchable. Do not waste your time.

The cancellation flow is tricky
I tried to cancel the subscription before my billing day, and thought I succeeded since the 30 day free trial ads came out on the screen and also top right corner like what it did before I subscribed. But noooo, it turns out I have to find and click the very small line of “no I still want to cancel” on the 30 day free trail page to finalize my cancellation. Learnt that after I got charged today. And I feel getting tricked which is not a good feeling. I wanted to cancel in the first place because of some tech preference such as the ui and recommendation doesn’t serve well to me but now I just feel like I don’t want to use this service ever again.

literally terrible
don’t waste your time or money on showtime it’s quite literally the worst streaming app ever. why am i receiving a notification saying “Network Error” on a downloaded episode. i took the time to go in and download each episode since i knew i wouldn’t have wifi for a certain amount of time and now youre telling me im not even able to stream the episodes i downloaded? one, your episodes take centuries to download despite how short they are. two, even after waiting those centuries for your downloaded content they’re not even gonna work. most definitely not continuing my subscription
