As a cord cutter or not you might find yourself in my position. I only got Showtime to watch the return. Got a free month in the process and will have paid for a couple of months along the way. When the show ends in a few weeks I'd love to give Showtime a few more months of support as a way of showing my happiness with the choice to fund this project. However, in the roughly 4 months I've had Showtime, I have watch a combined 2 movies in that time. I'll be kind here, but their series & collection of movies have not peaked the interest of myself, my wife, or our young boy. With all this said, I have decided to cancel immediately following the return, are there others of you out there planning to do the same?
I haven't decided yet, though I have watched many episodes of Homeland.
I think I noticed that the new episodes of TP have an 'expiration date' on them? Meaning that after a time that content may no longer appear on Showtime to rewatch (which won't help Showtime)? Maybe the arrangement is for Lynch/Frost to retain rights when it comes out on DVD.
I watch all kinds of shows on Shotime, love it!!
I subscribed in order to watch this. But I am going to stay with it.
Our household situation is a little different.
We have Amazon Prime. As part of that (Prime is baked-in to our TV), we can add-on other streaming services for varying monthly costs. Some are $5 a month extra. Others (such as Showtime) are $10 a month extra.
Specifically, we have added-on Showtime streaming as part of our Amazon Prime. But it's not Showtime, the channel. So, on Sunday evenings, at exactly 7:00pm (central time), a new episode of Twin Peaks appears, ready for us to watch. And there it remains. We can go back and watch any of them (episode-by-episode).
We've decided that, once The Return is done, we're going to keep access to Showtime streaming for a week or two, perhaps re-watch the episodes, and then drop it. We're more into physical stuff, anyway, so will purchase The Return on blu-ray when it comes out, and keep it that way.
I'll watch season 3 again and then cancel. Unless after that watching I'll watch again.
I haven't touched anything else on showtime so I have no need for it.
I subscribed to NowTV - but found it very buggy, so contacted them. I said I'd joined specifically to watch Twin Peaks - and was happy to keep up my membership once it has finished, but I'd like some advice on making their content watchable. Nada!
So I went from streaming & paying NowTv for something I couldn't watch to just streaming. It's daft as I'd rather pay for it - so will send some money to a relevant charity - that covers a multitude...!
I record it on Sky Atlantic. It's good because I can keep the series recorded forever on my Sky box.
its awesome... i think showtime cost like 10 € a month.. woulda paid 1000 , so i might swell support em a year or two after its done. not watching anything else on showtime.

Until it breaks down. You need to find a hack for your box and dump the stuff to an external HD or DVDs. No, I haven't done it yet, either.

To be fair I'll get the whole series on DVD when released anyway. Hopefully a super edition with extras
I joined NowTV to watch it, but haven't watched anything else on there. It's summer, so I like going out in the light evenings if I can, rather than staying in and wasting the summer by watching TV or movies. I kind of wish The Return had been broadcast in the winter rather than the summer. I'm not a late night person, but it would have been nice to have seen it in complete darkness.
Once The Return is over and we move into the autumn, I'll take a quick look at what else is on, and compare it to what I used to have on Netflix. I cancelled my Netflix account so I could justify paying for NowTV. I don't need both. Its one or the other.
But £7.99 per month has been okay just to watch Twin Peaks. That's cheaper than one visit to the cinema.

Hi Matthew,
Just out of curiosity, have you priced CBS All Access on Amazon Prime yet? (I have AP as well.)
Thanks in advance. 😉

Here in Australia, Stan is the service for streaming Twin Peaks.
Stan is like Netflix, except 50 times better, because over here Netflix is utter rubbish. I'm definitely glad I discovered Stan.
I watch Twin Peaks on NowTV and after the first 14 days free and watching the first 5 episodes I was going to cancel but then when I cancelled it Now TV said that I could keep Now TV for £3.99 a month rather than the £6.99 it would have cost me so I decided to stay with it and cancel it after Twin Peaks has finished. I have really only watched the Leftovers as well as Twin Peaks on it and a Susan Sontag documentary.
