I’m out of the country at the moment and wanted to watch the new Dexter series on Sho-time.

Easy peasy right? Just download the Paramount Plus app, register and pay for a subscription that includes the Sho Time shows and be on my way!

Nope. First off the PP app wouldn’t even load, claiming a server error. Ok cool, I’ll try tomorrow because I’m tired anyways.

The app works now, go to register a new account, go to pay, enter my card details. Says transaction declined. Wtf. Realize it has something to do with my locale. Wth dude, just take my damn money . I’m not going to do a VPN trick because I told my bank I’m out of the country, so they expect charges from OUTSIDE the US, not in.

Proceed to stream it from a pirate stream site with no issues.

Unfortunately I’ll probably still end up paying for PP because I want my viewership to actually count towards the actual viewing number, but God, these companies are run by total idiots.
