You can watch Paramount Network through any of the following streaming services: Philo, Hulu Live TV, Sling TV, fuboTV, YouTube TV, Vidgo, and DIRECTV Stream. These streaming services allow you to watch Paramount Network on streaming devices, mobile devices, and online just as if you had cable.
I subscribe to three of them.

Not sure if this is close to the same thing as I do not follow the network, but there is a paramount + picks on Pluto TV that is available for free streaming.

We recently subscribed to Apple+TV streaming using our Firestick.... $5/month.
DW and I are enjoying For All Mankind. She goes to bed and them I am hooked on Ted Lasso.... the fact that Rebecca is hot doesn't hurt either.

Thanks for this suggestion. Watched the first episode and loved it. Great dialogue, made me laugh. Looking forward to the rest of the episodes.

MR IN BETWEEN
3 seasons--
I am on season 2
On HULU
An Australian hitman navigates the life between his work and his family/private life--
sort of like The Sopranos, but following the life of one of the button men instead of the boss.
Each episode generally less than 30 minutes also makes it fly by...

I had literally never heard of HACKS before the Emmy awards last night. It cleaned up in its category including best writer and now its on my short list to start watching.
For once, I was happy to see many winners in shows I've watched and enjoyed including Queens Gambit, Ted Lasso and The Crown, which has to be one of the best shows on TV...entertaining and historically so enlightening.

Blue Bloods
We always bypassed Blue Bloods in the past.
Now hooked. With over a decade of episodes, hope it will see us out of the pandemic ; - )

Watching Squid Game on Netflix.
It's definitely unique. I like it but Harlee wouldn't.

Be interested on your take.

I've watched through season 1, episode 7. I'm kind of disappointed. Gone are the thrilling, nail biting space missions and coverage of astronauts in training. The show has now turned into a soap opera with an overt political slant to it. I do not welcome this development.

I’ve been watching Ted Lasso and I love it. I tried to get my husband to watch and he hated it. He couldn’t even get through the first episode.
All the British shows like Line of Duty, Vera, Shetland, Law and Order UK, and George Gently we watch.

Endeavour, on Amazon Prime.
Friends have been recommending it to me for some time, but I was never interested.
I really enjoyed the original Inspector Morse series many, many years ago, and in more recent years I enjoyed the Inspector Lewis series. I just never thought a "prequel" to Inspector Morse would live up to the same standards. To be honest, I've never been a fan of "prequels" of any kind.
I was so wrong! I watched the pilot for Endeavour last night, and it blew me away.

More or less what I was getting at. It gets worse in Season 2.
There are still some very thrilling scenes in Season 2 but they get far fewer and far more spread out. Disappointing for something with so much promise and such obvious care put in to its making (from a technical point of view).

I think this prequel series is so intriguing as it gradually sets up the back story for why curmudgeonly confirmed bachelor Morse was the way he was as he solves crimes as the smartest man in the room.
PS If Shaun Evans and Freddie Highmore ever appear together in a BBC series, my heart will explode from joy.

I started watching Endeavour, but it had a very old drama feel to it (because it is!) (the way music and camera angles used, sharpness of the screen, dialogue spacing, etc - all of which bug me), and I stopped, but maybe I should go back.

Binging Series 2 and 3 of Magnum (2019). Good as a break from the serious stuff. We enjoy it.

I agree about the back story - it's very interesting.
I can't argue with your second statement!

We're watching the new season of SEX EDUCATION on Netflix. Great cast with Emma Mackey (who reminds everyone of Margo Robbie), Aimee Lou Wood and Gillian Anderson.
A teenage boy with a sex therapist mother teams up with a high school classmate to set up an underground sex therapy clinic at a British High School.

I have watched through season 1, episode 8.... while it is different and less thrilling... I don't see it as an "overt political slant"... and certainly not enough to object to.
What is ironic is that I think you are referring to the FBI investigation... and who was the head of the FBI at the time? Strange, eh?
