In fact, it replaced an existing streaming service, the didn’t-quite-catch-on 10 All Access (hence all the Channel 10 shows). Paramount Plus combines the television shows from CBS with content from the various properties under the wider ViacomCBS banner, including but not limited to Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and MTV. This means shows like Broad City, Drunk History, Aah! Real Monsters (oooh, remember that 90s show? Oblina 4eva), The Angry Beavers (another 90s gem) and Californication are all on the platform to stream to your heart’s content.Not to mention movies like Crazy Rich Asians, A Quiet Place, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Pulp Fiction on the bill too. There’s also binge-worthy new TV content like Yellowjackets, and the prequel series to Yellowstone, 1883. If you do opt to pay $89.99 annually, it’ll bring the monthly cost down to around $7.49 instead of $8.99. If you’re still on the fence and saving money doesn’t phase you, sign up for the 7-day trial and see if there’s a year’s worth of content that you’ll think you enjoy. You might love watching Survivor tribal council re-runs all year ‘round, or you might find you’ve exhausted your viewing options in a few months. As you scroll down there are buttons with each brand for even easier navigation, and then a selection of suggestions; trending shows, trending movies and the ‘keep watching’ section. When you click on a movie title, rather than giving you the option of reading a quick synopsis or seeing who’s in the cast, it will take you straight to a page where the movie will begin to play. This can be frustrating when you’re yet to decide on a movie and just want to do some research first. However, there is at least a synopsis below the movie screen, so you can quickly pause while you decide whether the movie is worth pursuing. TV shows however take you to a home page where you can read the synopsis, see the episodes and watch a trailer. There’s no intuitive search feature, either. When searching ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’, a movie not available on Paramount Plus, it simply told me the movie was not available and suggested some (irrelevant) trending shows instead, rather than a selection of similar style movies. The process should be the same for Apple and Android devices; click the speech bubble icon in the top right corner and select subtitles. You can access Parental Controls by clicking on the name of your account when a movie is playing, clicking ‘account’ and scrolling down to the Parental Controls section. Simply switch the toggle to activate.

For lovers of Aussie stand-up comedy, there’s more than you can poke (and then pull) your finger at. Matt Okine, Geraldine Hickey, Akhmal, Arj Barker (he’s an honorary Aussie, I guess), Dave Thornton, Celia Pacquola, Kitty Flanagan, Lawrence Mooney, Jimeoin, Steph Tisdell and Tom Gleeson and all have stand-up shows on Paramount Plus. You’ll also find shows like Blues Clues, iCarly, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, 7th Heaven and Clarissa Explains It All. If you’re not just looking for TV shows to appease your child (or your inner child) there’s comedy like Broad City, The King of Queens, Frasier, The Big Bang Theory and Why Women Kill. If you prefer more serious shows to binge, you’ll also find shows like The Luminaries, Yellowstone and its prequel series, 1883, David Lynch’s surreal Twin Peaks and the much-lauded Yellowjackets. Prefer your TV with an ‘M’ in front of it? Catch classics like MTV Cribs, The Hills, and Geordie Shore. And of course, loads of shows you’ll find on Channel 10, like Masterchef Australia, Survivor Australia, The Amazing Race: Australia, Bachelor in Paradise and this reviewer’s personal favourite, The Doghouse Australia. If reality TV isn’t your thing, there’s also locally-made series like Five Bedrooms, Spreadsheet, Todd Sampson’s Bodyhack and The Secrets She Keeps.

Yes, there are gems in there, enough to keep you entertained for a couple of months, perhaps. But for the most part, Paramount Plus falls into the category of ‘sign up when there’s something specific you want to watch’ streaming service (like Britbox, or Shudder), rather than a staple like Netflix.
