I rate Showtime an 8.8 on 10. Showtime is a usable video streaming service in many ways, but for most individuals, the cost of entrance is unlikely to be worth it in the long run.

Showtime provides on-demand access to a good selection of original episodes and Showtime movies, as well as live streaming of Showtime cable channels. 

On the other hand, the service places undue restrictions on offline downloads and needs to improve its accessibility. Showtime material is available in two formats: Showtime and Showtime Anytime. There’s no need for a  Showtime anytime activation as it's for those who already have a Showtime cable subscription.

The content catalog of Showtime might not be the most glamorous of all other streaming platforms, but it still has quite a decent collection. The subscription package does not create an enormous hole in the pocket, so it leaves little room to sneak in this service.
