Paramount+ is definitely not the streaming platform that gets the most hype, but it has really become a nice secret to the fans of TV series. Besides the most exciting original content, the service has a library that can satisfy anyone’s desire: comedy, drama, action, nostalgia, and even a little bit of quirk. If you are out of shows to watch and need some fresh recommendations, here are the top 10 shows that you can stream on Paramount+ right now, descending from the least essential to the most indispensable ones.
10. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
That’s the way they did it today in Star Trek. Strange New Worlds goes on with the episodic adventures and mixes the old Trek vibe with a fresh, entertaining story. Anson Mount’s Captain Pike is a delight, and the show’s willingness to experiment with new things is the reason why you can be watching a horror episode one week and a musical or a comedy the next. No, you don’t have to be a Trek fan or know the history, just come aboard.
9. Tulsa King
Sylvester Stallone plays a New York mobster shipped off to Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the results are just as entertaining as you’d expect. Taylor Sheridan’s knack for fish-out-of-water drama meets sharp comedy here, and Stallone brings both muscle and humor. With a colorful supporting cast, Tulsa King is a crime drama that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
8. Evil
In the manner of a laughable and supernatural horror, the plot of Evil is uncomparably the most exquisite of the television shows on Paramount+. The series chronicles the bizarre escapades of a contractor, a self-training priest, and a psychologist who together delve into mysticism and manage to incorporate scaring, logical reasoning, and witty jokes simultaneously. Also, let us not forget to mention the great job of Michael Emerson as one of TV’s most compelling antagonists.
7. 1923
Definitely, if you adore watching Yellowstone, this prequel is a must-have on your watch list. Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren give life to 1923, which depicts the Dutton household’s trials and tribulations in the time of Prohibition, drought, and the approaching Great Depression. With its beautiful surroundings and raw frontier drama, it is the most potent spin-off from Yellowstone.
6. The Good Fight
The Good Fight is witty, fashionable, and daring, mixing political satire with courtroom drama. In the cast of the serial as Diane Lockhart, the smart and resourceful lawyer trying to make sense of daily America’s strife, is none other than Christine Baranski. The legal drama will appeal to sharp writers and socially minded viewers who want to be challenged, set scene-wise.
5. Halo
Recreating a popular video game series on the big screen is nothing less than a gamble, but Halo manages this on a grand cinematic scale. The nuances of Master Chief as portrayed by Pablo Schreiber, the entertainment, and world-building are all on par, not just for hardcore gamers but also for the problem-free fans of science fiction. The second season was more awesome than the first, hence it is recommended to binge it if you are really into space wars but have a soft spot for this.
4. Avatar: The Last Airbender
The initial version is still superior. Avatar: The Last Airbender is basically a fantasy adventure series that narrates Aang’s amazing journey, a boy who is fated to learn all four elemental powers and bring harmony back to the world ravaged by war. It is equally exciting, infuriating, and amusing, and even after the tenth watch, it looks spotless just like the first time.
3. Survivor
After many years, Survivor basically stands as the most prestigious reality competition show. The hostess, Jeff Probst, is in control of the unbelievably epic drama in which the contestants are fighting against nature, bribing each other with emotional bonds, and tricking each other to win a million-dollar prize. Every season is jam-packed with inventions, treachery, and characters impossible to forget. Choose any, and you won’t be able to stop watching it.
2. Cheers
Step into the Boston tavern where they know your name. Cheers is one of the greatest sitcoms ever to be produced, boasting an all-star ensemble of Ted Danson, Shelley Long, and Kelsey Grammer. With smart writing, heart, and more than two dozen Emmy wins, it’s TV comfort food in its purest form.
1. SpongeBob SquarePants
Number One on the list? It is none other than SpongeBob SquarePants. That underwater series has been amusing audiences for more than twenty years with its mix of ridiculous humor and sincerity. Kids like it, parents can take it, and it is still a very memorable running gag. In a nutshell: SpongeBob is forever.
Paramount+ has surprisingly put together one of the most diverse TV catalogs in the world. You might be looking for a high-end drama, a comfort sitcom from the past, or just some cartoon madness; there is something for every taste here. Forget your watchlist-these shows deserve to be ranked.
