Went to watch the next generation before bed and it won’t pull up any of the episodes or continue where I left off. Instead it shows the extras tab and related shows and about.

    Update: it’s back to normal but it still scared me 🤣 any idea why it wouldn’t let me watch for a certain amount of time?

      Paramount+ as a web app sucking all the things that are derogatorily sackable is likely the cause. It is an objectively horrible platform.

          I recently cancelled my paramount account due to the ads. found a great alternative that’s 100% cheaper. put on the episode, “the measure of a man” and drifted off to sleep.

            I haven’t seen ads run during a show, but every now and then they’ll shove whatever they’re movie or show they’re trying to push in a preview before a new episode runs. I just hit back and start it again and it goes away.

              that’s what I experienced as well. although it’s minor, I think it’s a PITA.

                Yeah sorta. But it’s like if YouTube advertised other channels instead of “products”. I still consider it an ad but I think if fits loosely.

        It sucks and I canceled it and subscribed to it through YouTube which means paramount gets 30% less money.

        The app is objectively terrible. Barely useable.

      I think it just had issues yesterday, I was using it to watch episodes of CSI asy background noise show and last night it had no “episodes list” despite me being able to play the next episode

      I’d wager it was just some sort of bug or glitch, I’ve seen similar things happen on other streaming services

      why do you let a corporation control whether or not you can watch something? don’t use paramount+ or any other DRM-locked service. Sooner or later they will take it away, and there’s no guarantee you’ll have access to it if you don’t have your own copy.
