As mentioned previously there’s so much content missing that many felt was coming, people have felt very deflated with it. I’ve kept my subscription for this month under the hope they will add the content I was hoping for when subscribed but will see.
As I mentioned before so many are asking them on Twitter about the 90’s Nick shows which are all missing (apart from Rugrats), other shows have missing episodes such as South Park and Star Trek and they have promised the Beavis and Butt-Head classic episodes remastered as well as the new seasons of the show too but I feel like I’m keeping my subscription under the hope they will add all these things but they might not, just wish they would communicate more than they do when people ask.
I’ll see how it is before the next monthly payment is due however if it doesn’t improve or they keep giving vague answers I’m probably going to cancel but they do seem a little like they’ve disappointed a lot of people who subscribed under the impression lots of content they were wanting was there but it wasn’t.
Love your articles by the way! 🙂
Was expecting to sign up to Paramount+ for a year. There’s not much on it. Sub cancelled after a day’s trial. In the cancellation email it mentions missing out on ‘tens of thousands’ of TV episodes. Well, based on the current state of it, tens of thousands is very much a wild overstatement.
True! I’m cancelling too! Just not enough good stuff compared with US
