I had an account last year but had to cancel Sky Cinema due to the increasing costs, so I lost my Paramount account... However I've heard good things about the new Starfleet Academy series, which apparently stars Becky Lynch off WWE.

Would there be a legal way to watch it in the UK?

I am aware of Google.

If you have Prime Video you can get a free 7-day trial for Paramount+ so just wait until it's all out then watch it and cancel the trial.

Surprisingly I found that out in 2 minutes after a quick Google search for Paramount+

I said..

But carry on trolling

You asked for a legal way to watch it that doesn't require a paramount+ account, I found one in less than 2 minutes using Google that you say you're aware of.

If you're aware of Google then you would have been able to find it yourself, yet you accuse me of trolling.

Seems more likely that you're just lazy and want other people to do the searches for you.

@Rich-Allen1976. You asked, @UnmeiNoTenshi answered with a perfectly reasonable answer. That is NOT trolling. They also observed that they found the answer by using Google. That is also a reasonable observation.

I myself have also answered some of your queries, and said that I found it on Google after an X minutes, yet you haven't accused me of trolling. Be consistent in your approach please.

To answer your question, as far as I am aware, there is no LEGAL way to watch Starfleet Academy in the UK with out a Paramount+ subscription. The advice you have been given is valid. Wait for the series to finish, then binge watch using the free trial option. If you choose to pursue a non-legal alternative, on your own head be it.

Doesn't your tech-savvy brother have a suggestion?

Wait until it comes out on DVD and buy/rent it. Personally I like to own things especially for the price they charge.

Streaming services imho, are for temporary access to an incomplete repository where a majority of the wares are of no interest to the individual.

Since Blockbuster went bust about 12 years ago, DVD rental services are no longer a thing unfortunately.

You might want to bite the bullet and get a subscription from somewhere, be it from prime or elsewhere.

My opinion, the show is worth it.

I was wondering the same for localisation here, but it seems it will drop on one of our streaming services in due time, after the season has finished (probably around summer/fall, so still a good while away..).

Fine by me, happened to most others ST shows too, and I could still enjoy them and evade most spoilers at the same time..

Cancel that previous post, apparantly it dropped on a local Dutch streaming site, although it's still a few episodes behind.
There we go then.

If it's Dutch, it won't be in English, I do not speak Dutch.

The streaming site is Dutch-based and in whatever language you set up, the series is original.

I get paid tomorrow, I might see if IDK will let me purchase a Paramount subscription on Amazon.
