Paramount Plus: The Dark Horse of Streaming? Reviewer Surprised by Depth of TV Content

NEW YORK, NY – In an increasingly crowded streaming market, Paramount Plus is emerging as a surprisingly strong contender, particularly for TV enthusiasts. A recent review by Tom’s Guide reveals that while the platform’s movie selection may be underwhelming, its TV show library offers a wealth of binge-worthy content.

Starting at $7.99 per month (with ads), Paramount Plus provides access to a mix of classic and new shows, including “South Park,” “Mobland,” and the ever-popular “Yellowstone” franchise. For an additional $5 per month, subscribers can upgrade to the Premium plan, which unlocks the entire Showtime library, featuring buzzworthy series like “Yellowjackets” and “Dexter: Resurrection.”

“I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of TV content,” said Rory, Senior Entertainment Editor at Tom’s Guide. “The ‘Yellowstone’ spinoffs alone could keep you busy for weeks, and then you add in Showtime shows… it’s a great value for the price.”

While the reviewer found the movie selection lacking, with few noteworthy original films and a reliance on older titles, the platform’s strength lies in its TV offerings. The inclusion of “South Park” was a particular highlight.

Tom’s Guide recommends Paramount Plus as a supplemental streaming service rather than a primary one. Its slower release schedule of new content means it may not satisfy viewers looking for a constant stream of fresh material. However, for those seeking a deep library of binge-worthy TV shows, Paramount Plus offers a compelling and affordable option.

Paramount Plus offers a seven-day free trial for new users.
