With paid TV-streaming services piling up faster and faster, it’s time to weigh in on Paramount+, which officially launched this past March under that flashy new title (apparently taking a cue from Apple TV+ and Disney+).
The service has been around since 2015 under the name CBS All Access and boasted the first new
Star Trek series since
How much does Paramount+ cost?
The service costs $5.99 a month ($59.99 if paid annually) for its ad-supported plan, or $9.99 a month ($99.99 annually) for its ad-free plan. This will change in June. A new $5-per-month ad-supported price plan will be introduced, but it will not include access to CBS live TV. Viewers who are already grandfathered in can keep the $6 plan or change to the $5 plan. New users will not be able to choose it, and if a user switches from the $6 plan to the $5 plan, there’s no switching back.
The Good Fight

A group of liberal professional women trying to disrupt the Trump administration at any cost sink to a new low in the May 9 episode of CBS’s All-Access streaming show
The Good Fight. In “The One Where the Sun Comes Out,” the dangerous practice of swatting is used as payback for President Trump’s immigration policy and Trump senior policy advisor Stephen Miller appears to be the target.
The women in the Book Club are ready to ramp up their tactics against the Trump administration and the victim this week is Michael Tyrek (the president’s fictional senior policy advisor who looks suspiciously like the real Stephen Miller), whom they blame for the deaths of three children in El Paso cages.
