Verdict: Paramount+ is Well Worth Your Time
I sign up for month-long Paramount+ binge sessions a couple of times a year. Since you can grab it for $1, it’s a no-brainer right now.
The variety is what makes Paramount+ so strong. It’s got groundbreaking movies, genre-leading shows, and a great sports package. Only Netflix or Disney+ can compete with the kids’ library.
If you choose the ad-free Paramount+ Premium, you’ll also get access to your live, local CBS station. That makes it a great choice to pair with a service like Sling TV that doesn’t have the channel.
Paramount+ isn’t perfect – I wish it cranked out far more original content. But it’s overlooked more often than it should be. No matter what you enjoy, Paramount+ has something worth watching. Give it a shot!
