I’ve had Paramount+ for nearly two months and I have to say it is one of the worst streaming apps I’ve ever used.

I don’t know if there’s an incompatibility problem with Fetch but everything is a problem.

The captions don’t work. Impossible to go back a few seconds to rewatch something you missed. Trying to navigate through menus to find anything decent to watch is an absolute nightmare. And since the latest Fetch update, when I finish watching an episode, and try to watch the next episode, my Fetch box crashes and restarts.

The content is heavily focused on mostly CBS rubbish. I just cancelled my subscription.

That’s a fetch thing. I had that problem too and so I used the tv paramount app and had no issues with captions.

Anybody know if and when Scream 7 arrives on Paramount Plus Australia? Apparently it just landed yesterday in North America.

And as such tvod services have also now gone from premium to standard, now just $5.99AU to rent digitally here.

Pretty cool, considering it only hit cinemas 3 months back.

Hot New Host. Hot New House. Hot New Cast.

Gold Coast Influencer Tammy Hembrow Joins Paramount+’s Aussie Shore As The House Boss.

Big news: the next outrageously unfiltered season of Paramount+’s Aussie Shore is heading to the Gold Coast for its wildest glow-up yet. And with a hot new house in Australia’s clubbing capital, it takes a House Boss who can handle the chaos.

Enter Gold Coast powerhouse Tammy Hembrow who will step into the centre of the madness to bring the glam, the grit and the House rules.

A Gold Coast local with serious influence and entrepreneurial drive, Tammy is perfectly placed to turn up the heat and lay down the law. She will be keeping this fresh batch of housemates on their toes because in the world of Aussie Shore, the parties are massive, the personalities are bigger, and nobody gets a free ride.

Before they hit the clubs, flirt outrageously and dive headfirst into the mayhem of their new surrounds, Tammy will be putting the cast to work and making sure they earn their place in the house.

Tammy Hembrow said: “Gold Coast is my home – it’s where I’ve built my business, my life, everything. I couldn’t be more excited to welcome Aussie Shore to my city and show them what we’re all about.”

This season brings five fresh faces into the mix, joining returning Shore standouts Catia, Manaaki, Lexie, Con, Jaeda, Francesco, and cheeky Welsh fan favourite Callum. It is a cast built for big nights, bigger personalities, and absolutely no shortage of drama.

Season three promises hookups, heartbreak, blow-ups, bromances, messy situationships and the kind of unpredictable chaos only Aussie Shore can deliver, all playing out inside a brand-new house made for unforgettable nights and headline-making moments.

New Romantic Drama, Two Years Later, Is Streaming Now.

All Eight Episodes Starring Phoebe Tonkin And Brenton Thwaites Are Available Exclusively On Paramount+.

The highly anticipated Australian, eight-part original series, Two Years Later, is available to stream now on Paramount+.

In the hands of two of the country’s finest performers, Phoebe Tonkin (Boy Swallows Universe, Bloom, Babylon) and Brenton Thwaites (Pirates of the Caribbean, Titans, Maleficent), romantic drama Two Years Later takes a post-COVID look at what happens when two people in their thirties embark on a new meet-cute connection, but with old baggage.

Their lives have changed, but can they pick back up where they left off?

This performance-driven series is anchored in raw naturalism. It is in the ordinary, that makes Two Years Later so extraordinary.

Brenton Thwaites said: “I love that Two Years Later is different. There’s a temptation to embellish and enhance new shows with mystery and murder, but I really like the simplicity of Two Years Later and the complexity of these characters. The character of Ryan is so close to me, and I really can’t wait for this to get out there”.

Phoebe Tonkin said: “I am always so excited to tell uniquely Australian stories through the lens of love and loneliness. The need for connection is universal. I can’t wait for audiences to be surprised by Two Years Later, and ultimately fall in love with these relatable and honest characters.”

Production Credits: A Hoodlum production. Major production investment from Screen Australia and Paramount ANZ, in association with Screen Queensland. Banijay Rights will handle international sales. Post, digital and visual effects supported by Screen Queensland.

Very much enjoying this. Slow, but clearly deliberately slow, it works. Chilled vibe, and Phoebe and Brenton have great chemistry.

The 79th Tony Awards will be streamed live on P+ next Monday (June 8) from 8.30am AEST.

The spy thriller starring Oscar winners Zoe Saldaña and Nicole Kidman will return for Season 3 on Sunday, August 2, the streamer has announced.

This show is half decent. Shame it takes so long for new seasons. There are a lot of underrated shows on P+.

Paramount+ have acquired the Among Us television show announced this morning, all episodes streaming now. Episode 1 is free on YouTube. Quite a decent show so far.

I can feel 2020 frothing over this!

Depending on how i start it, sometimes if i do the continue watching from the TV homepage or in the app, it starts the episode of a show, but i have to jump back out because it won’t allow rewind/fast forward or skip functions.

It was shonky. Fetch have a lot of problems.

Not only does it not have all functions working on streaming apps but often it just doesn’t record scheduled programs. If I forget to turn it off overnight it goes into snooze mode and then won’t restart.

I still have to restart it almost every day and sometimes needs to be switched off at the power point. I’ve gone from raving about how good it was to thinking it’s a pile of poo now. :poop:

Just finished binging the new Among Us series.
Gotta say, it’s quite enjoyable and would recommend for anyone wanting some laughs or fans of murder mystery.
Would fit in on 2010s CN or Nickelodeon

It’s really good. Watching it as I travel when I’m in the airport/plane/train. Really interesting character driven show. Love that the episodes are around 25 mins.
