May 14, 2021 Thomas Giboney technology

In case you thought you had enough TV, it’s time for CBS’ new streamer to make a case for putting it on your roster. Paramount Plus, a revamp of CBS All Access, adds more movies and shows that you can watch on a couple of tiers: either ad-free ($10 per month) or ad-inclusive ($5 per month).

Star Trek fans will find not one, not two, not three, but four Star Trek shows (not including an after-show) to devour, but there’s more than sci-fi filling out Paramount’s original TV shelves. Let’s round up the best shows at launch, with a host of new original shows and movies to come.

Younger (2015)

Paramount

Younger sees Liza Miller start a new job in the hip, fast-paced world of publishing. The only potential hiccup: She’s a 40-year-old divorced mother posing as a carefree twenty-something. Aside from learning her impeccable skincare routine, we follow Liza’s personal and professional life, from her insight into how to market books from older authors to younger audiences, to her relationship with a 26-year-old tattoo artist. Starring the charming Sutton Foster as well as Hilary Duff as a young book editor, this binge-worthy sitcom has a classic, fairytale feel. Positive and sweet, even if it runs no deeper than the surface wit.
