if this is supposed to be so good, why the hell do you have to pay for it and you can only watch it on-line?

This is the latest trend now in broadcasting, and I absolutely hate it. The networks are trying to get people to pay for their streaming networks by making content exclusive so you'll have no choice to subscribe if you really, really want to see it. I refuse to subscribe.

You can do the free trial and binge the whole thing. After you cancel, you'll get e-mails a couple weeks later inviting you to come back for another free or discounted trial.

And Viacom WANTS you to pay for its shows!
