Showtime TV Streaming Services Review

Founded in 1976, Showtime offers on-demand, downloadable, and live TV streaming services to viewers in the US and its territories. Located in New York, New York, the service provides award-winning original content and a catalog of well-known, popular films. Showtime is owned by ViacomCBS.

Showtime has been around a long time. Since its inception, it has earned accolades for providing blockbuster films, high-quality original content, and a refreshing alternative to traditional network programming. But with the explosion of entertainment options and streaming services, by today's standards, Showtime is showing some wear. It can't match the broad catalogues of several other competitive services.

One way that Showtime shines is that viewers can watch all content commercial-free with their basic service package. Other TV streaming services charge a premium for that privilege. And Showtime's relatively modest $9.99 monthly cost is also attractive, particularly since the average number of media subscriptions we carry has ballooned. 

Showtime subscribers can register up to five devices for downloading content. Three users can watch simultaneously and the service likely supports all of the viewing devices you're accustomed to using. 

Interestingly, if you love Showtime content—and there are plenty of reasons to love it, like Shameless, Ray Donovan, and Californication—you don't have to subscribe to Showtime directly to access Showtime titles. Original Showtime series are now available through many streaming services that compete with Showtime, usually as a premium add-on.
