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.

        Can’t even binge a show without episodes randomly playing in another language, or the ad free version starts playing ads

          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.

                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.

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

        Interesting.

        I have only experienced disappearing-reappearing -ink- Programs on P+.

      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.
