Following a significant revamp in 2021, Paramount+ is now mostly known for presenting a range of the top television shows accessible on any Streaming service. Though Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu formerly controlled the sector, studio-backed platforms have grown in prominence. Disney+ started this trend, which due to sites like Max and Peacock is still gathering strength. By giving viewers a selection of old material and top-notch originals, the best series on Paramount+ highlight why it distinguishes itself among the more current streaming providers.
Comprising material from Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, and MTV as well as CBS and Paramount favorites, the Paramount+ library is wide and remarkable. With new television programs arriving on Paramount+ every month, Viacom assures users that the Paramount+ collection will only get bigger in the future, delivering plenty of options for as little as $5.99 per month. Whether you're a full-fledged member or considering a subscription, here is Screen Rant's guide on the top series to watch on Paramount+ right now.
Popular police procedural shows abound on CBS, and Criminal Minds is maybe the crown gem. With a case-of- the-week structure for most episodes, Criminal Minds centers on the work of the FBI's behavioral analysis unit—mostly their hunts for serial killers and other violent psychopaths.
After 15 seasons, the show concluded in 2020; nevertheless, Criminal Minds: Evolution, also on Paramount+, revived it. Unquestionably fascinating, Criminal Minds is a pulvergy series with darker themes than its competitors.
For fans of police procedurals and crime dramas, Paramount+ is an excellent Streaming choice; among its offerings is Blue Bloods, a cop show centered on a well-respected family in the NYPD.
First debuted in 2010, the show is still running strong more than ten years later. Among the prominent heavy-hitters in Blue Bloods' cast are Tom Selleck, a TV veteran, as patriarch and NYPD Commissioner Frank Reagan; Donnie Wahlberg as detective Danny Reagan; Bridget Moynahan as ADA Erin Reagan. The show presents everything fans of criminal procedurals love about the genre: deftly juggling the interpersonal interactions of the law enforcement officials with the many fascinating and, occasionally, horrific crimes they investigate.
Though Key & Peele is most recognized for wonderfully simple skits like "Substitute Teacher" and "East/West College Bowl," there is much more to the show than mispronouncing ridiculous names. Sharp-witted comedy by Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele presents a stinging critique of modern social issues including politics, inequality, and racism.
Many see Key & Peele as a spiritual successor to Chappelle's Show, with Key & Peele displaying the cinematic sensibility of the eponymous pair in clever big-budget sketches parading alien invasion and horror clichés.
Although Paramount+ is most well-known for its original Tv Shows, its film choices should not be disregarded; there is a great range from which to choose.
The diversity of classic and modern films on the platform—including works from several genres—will be much appreciated by fans. Whether a viewer is looking for the newest movie or a fun classic, the platform offers something for them.
Few could have predicted when Paramount's live-action Sonic The Hedgehog film debuted in 2020 that it would lead to a live-action buddy-cop TV spin-off starring Adam Pally of Happy Endings fame alongside Idris Elba, a serious character actor, as the voice of Sonic's red counterpart, Knuckles. But that's exactly what happened on Paramount+ in 2024; Knuckles has already won over many of its users.
Between the second film and the forthcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Knuckles sees the titular echidna take on Wade (Pally), a deputy sheriff, as an apprentice to impart the ways of the warrior.

With their high-quality production standards and abundance of material, streaming services are altering the television scene. It seems reasonable that this tendency will continue as more people choose streaming platforms above traditional cable television.
