This looks like the exact kind trashy stupid I would go for. Excited that all these Broadway actors are getting work.

They're probably going to strike a deal with Netflix or something. Tying a streaming program to a cable package is such a weird financial move. It's like if you got free access to Breaking Bad through your water bill.

Hoping that covid comment is not actually part of the show. Basically, I'm hoping it's not that Songbird movie.

Otherwise, the cast is great and the gore seems about on the iZombie level, so tolerable for people who might not otherwise watch horror.

Reminds me a bit of BrainDead with Aaron Tveit. It might be the same writers.

I’m watching this now. It’s a lot of fun - I’m laughing a hell of a lot more than I thought I would be.

So is there any way to watch this without being a Spectrum customer? I don't think Spectrum cable or internet is even offered where I live.

“Legally”, I think it’s only available on Spectrum.

Reading between the lines, I think this will end up on Paramount+ after some exclusive period on Spectrum. CBS Studios is deeply involved in this and it makes no economic sense to keep it shackled. This strikes me as part of Spectrum gasping for air, in this case in a bizarre and nonsensical way but we shall see.

I believe all of Spectrum’s exclusive shows (and there’s been quite a few to date) have ended up on other channels and platforms after a while.

I am pretty sure that's true. Otherwise the model is just insane. I think it is basically some vain attempt at value added although the logic of it escapes me. Are there really potential cord-cutters who continue to pay for cable so they can get these "exclusives"?

It’s produced by CBS. Other Spectrum series have ended up on The CW and what Is now Paramount Plus. It will be out there after a brief period on Spectrum. FWIW, I love the show. Also FWIW, I hate Spectrum being the only provider where I live in Park Slope (I know, that alone deserves an eye roll especially if you read Park Slope message boards...OY!).
