Paramount+ (launching 22 June)

Happy for the irish audience. An old friend shared a password with me recently, and I've been catching up on things I only heard about from clickbait before, like Discovery etc., I had done a free trial last year and gotten a kick from Lower Decks and wasn't as impressed with season 1 of Picard (s2 is better at least). Lower Decks is funny and worth watching, at its core it roasts star trek for some of the blemishes in the now 56 yr franchise.

Tastes may vary but having got the chance to watch Discovery recently and get through about 1 and a half seasons I think this is one of their best offerings on the platform for science fiction, good star trek, better than DS9 and the stuff we last saw on TV for sure, but it's also a divergence from core star trek presentation and style that people will like and dislike in varying degrees I think - great action, superbly beautiful CGI shots, and a bunch of love triangles I'd rather just left me alone.

Strange New Worlds just blew in and the 1st episode is on Youtube. Viewers who are watching or may watch Discovery are warned there are Discovery spoilers and tie-in dialog in the first episode which may color your watching of Discovery differently. However, SNW is peak Star Trek and I think for most people, you'll grate with 1 or 2 of your personal flavor of character (the medic reminds me of someone I know, who is a nurse lol) but otherwise find it to be very agreeable to watch and enjoy and not just for the stunning and state of the art 4K visuals.

Star Trek: Prodigy is also on there, I don't know much about it to write it off as a "Kids Show" but I haven't watched any of it yet, it looks very reminiscent of Star Wars: The Clone Wars visually and Katie Mulgrew reportedly has reprised her role as Janeway in it.

There's also football livestreams and channel livestreams at least in the US.

I don't watch sports but someone might like the peek

This may have been asked already but does this mean TNG, DS9, Voyager will be leaving Netflix soon?

confirmed, staying for now

However new, Paramount+ shows will stop being shown in Netflix and now air through P+

Me neither and it’s for the most part just CBS here. Cable news is ass, if I’m already on a web browser there are a million better ways to get the news than via talking head.

What channel is this on Sky?

Available from Play Store now.

Signed up for this, paid with three credit. Selection is ............Ok-ish.

I had been watching that page, but it didn't update after midnight and now it's 404 😊

I believe there's no 4K or surround sound on it. Supposed to be coming around Xmas, which seems like a strange decision to make.
