I must be thte only one who like Paramount+

Honestly would rather have the Warner Bros content over there than on Netflix.

It has really strange bugs like with an hour left of a Champions League match it thought it had reached the end credits of the show and tried to automatically start showing something else. Was confusing figuring out how to tell it I wanted to really watch the "end credits" which was the last hour of the soccer contest.

Eh, I liked it, but canceled my service after they made a bribe to the current president to approve one of their acquisitions. I like Star Trek plenty, but not enough to support anti-American businesses like Paramount.

The Paramount+ user interface on my Samsung TV is horrendous.

It frequently crashes after displaying ads, forcing me to re-open the app and watch ads again.

When watching ads does succeed (all 3 minutes of them…) and playback of my show begins, it shows the enormous pause button, the giant fade-to-black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, and covers up the subtitles, as though I had pressed ‘Play’.

And trying to pause requires you to press the pause button TWICE.

I tried to play a series, but instead of starting from the last-played episode + 1, it always plays the most recent episode since it’s a rewatch. This happened every time until I got caught up.

So I strongly disagree. If only to be able to watch all of this content without all of frustrating design flaws.

EDIT: They also end each episode with 2-3 minutes of ads. So you had to exit the show, then re-enter to not get hit with two ad breaks in a row.
