free premium showtime accounts

Showtime's on-demand video streaming service looks sleek and offers an honest selection of streaming content, but its monthly cost is steep.

Some video streaming services aim to exchange cable entirely, while others primarily provide on-demand content. Showtime, a streaming service offered by cable channel of an equivalent name, falls into the latter category. It offers a good lineup of on-demand original programming, movies, and access to measure streams of its broadcast channels. Showtime's service mostly works fine in testing and should be worth a subscription if you truly enjoy the content it offers. Otherwise, Showtime is simply another monthly fee within the age of perpetual monthly subscriptions—and an upscale one, at that.

PROS

Decent lineup of originals.
Supports offline downloads.
Live TV and movies.

CONS

Expensive.
Narrow content library.
Phone downloads are limited to 720p resolution.

What's on Showtime?

Showtime's main stake within the crowded video streaming space is its lineup of generally well-regarded original programming. Current shows include Black Monday, Billions, Homeland, Kidding, The Chi, Shameless, and Ray Donovan. Showtime also hosts an honest collection of previously aired content, like Dexter, House of Lies, dime novel , and Twin Peaks: The Return. Another draw of Showtime is its pay-per-view boxing content, though that programming comes at a separate cost and doesn't require a Showtime subscription.

Still, Showtime can't compete with the first content produced by the likes of Netflix (Free at Apple.com) or Amazon Prime. Streaming hits like Netflix's Black Mirror and Stranger Things or Amazon's Homecoming and therefore the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel enjoy more mainstream popularity. HBO also surpasses Showtime in terms of its original content, with immensely popular shows like Game of Thrones, Silicon Valley , and Westworld. once you think about older titles also in HBO's library, like Deadwood, Six Feet Under, The Sopranos, and therefore the Wire, the comparison isn't even close.

Showtime, like other similar services, also offers an honest collection of flicks for streaming. for instance , during the time of my review, the featured movies included Baby Driver, Molly's Game, Remember the Titans, Spotlight, and War Horse. Other movies within the catalog include A.I. AI , The Chronicles of Narnia, Patriot Games, and Trainspotting.

Additionally, you'll watch content that's survive Showtime's broadcast channels: Showtime East and West were both available to me during testing. this is often very almost like how CBS All Access ($5.99 Per Month at CBS All Access) works. Subscribers thereto service get access to both national and native CBS broadcasts. Starz similarly offers a live stream of its main cable channel.
