Yellowjackets alone might save Showtime or at least make sure it has value in a sell.

They have some great shows. Would be cool if they could stick around & keep making stuff.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is one favorite new shows the last couple of years, it's so good.

Anson Mount is fantastic as the lead.

Also Star Trek Prodigy is very good as well!

It's the cheapest service that I have, but I feel like it punches higher than its price.

Hey no need at all to be sorry! That’s pretty interesting though, I didn’t realize it was set up differently in other countries, I’d love to have those two services combined.

Live long and prosper!

In the US, those shows are on Paramount+, not Showtime. Part of why these deals and mergers and such feel so complicated to me is that it can vary so greatly between countries where they put their media.

Outside of Star Trek, what does it have?

Edit: got Showtime bc my gf wanted to watch YellowJackets. Will check out George and Tammy as multiple people have recommended it.

Well, Yellowjackets is really good so far. Weeds and Californication are classics. I loved Happyish, Super Pumped, and Roadies. Waco & George and Tammy were good; Homeland had some good seasons, City on a Hill had some great writing etc., American Gigolo had a vibe, SMILF had its moments.

> George and Tammy

Good to hear people are mentioning it. That show seems pretty under the radar. Yeah, they did a great job with it. Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain are amazing in this.

The acting is great but it is so by the numbers. The random line somebody says inspiring a song trope is done like 4 times

More people apparently need to watch The Good Lord Bird.

I resubbed last month to rewatch season 1 before season 2 came out and I also watched Your Honor. That’s a pretty good show. There’s a couple others on there that have my interest peaked.

Your Honor is like a really well-made soap opera. It’s worth checking out just for Bryan Cranston and esteemed character actress Margo Martindale

Considering the impending existence of Paramount+ with Showtime, not sure anyone is looking to sell Showtime, at least not as a stand alone.

Yellowjackets. Dexter. Billions. Everything else on Showtime is garbage.

Ray Donovan, Homeland, and House of Lies are all solid shows

Shameless, Homeland, Weeds. They have been slowly going downhill but have always had at least one really solid show airing.
