Showtime is now streaming on Hulu.

What is SHOWTIME® on Hulu?

Add SHOWTIME to your subscription to enjoy instant access to award-winning original programming such as Homeland, The Affair, Ray Donovan, Masters of Sex and Episodes as well as exclusive Hollywood blockbusters. Watch SHOWTIME through Hulu on many devices as well as LIVE TV on your web browser. SHOWTIME is available for an additional $8.99 per month with a Hulu subscription.

It costs $8.99, first month is free.

Does anyone have any recommendation as to which shows are worthwhile?

I looked over the offerings and was not impressed enough to even try the free period Lydia Leftcoast Jul 2015 #3

I already have Hulu Plus (the Criterion Collection of foreign and classic films, literally hundreds of offerings) plus foreign TV programming), Netflix (a bit of everything), Amazon Prime (gets all the HBO programming eventually), and Acorn TV (programming from English-speaking countries outside the U.S., with a selection that gets better and better every month).

With all that, who needs Showtime?

We had HBONow for Game of Thrones and the streaming quality was horrible.

I've been watching on Netflix but unfortunately Cable won't release their series for quite a long time to netflix. I just finished with season 3 waiting for Season 4 to become available.

HBO Now is too expensive, especially for just launching. they should consider cutting by 1/2 if they want subscribers otherwise I'll wait it out on my Netflix account. I use Roku for streaming on my tv but have discs of these cable releases.

Drama? (contemporary or period or both?)
Comedy?

Let me know what you are looking for, and I can make some recommendations.

"the Affair" got a lot of attention. And a new series, "Happyish" is wonderful. Showtime is my only premium channel and I get my money's worth.

Enjoy!
