in which there is free Paramount+
Long story short: Bought large/heavy stuff, Uber from the grocery was $45 (there was a concert), sent for Lyft that never arrived but by then Uber was back to $10, but got a free trial of Paramount+ out of it.
I finally remembered I had it last night and started watching Star Trek: Lower Decks. I like it very much, though so far it's not as good as the comic, but the comic's written by Ryan North so it's a high bar. The opening credit sequence is charming and the design is excellent. The Cerritos has that real-place feeling that is hard to get in TV animation, and is the reason they spent big bucks planning New New York for Futurama.
It's the version of Paramount+ with ads, and JESUS H. CHRIST DO I EVER HATE ADS. It's a half-hour show and there are 3-4 ad breaks per episode.
Also, if you don't care for Star Trek, there is very little to watch on Paramount+. If you do like Star Trek, your money is better spent on discs.

My emotions were powerful.
Mac Taylor couldn't even come across a guy digging up old graves for some funeral plot fraud without shooting some dude to death.

Occasionally the spouse and I get a yen for an old Mission: Impossible episode, and that's on P+, too. But in general, I'm only there for the Trek.

Maybe I should nag the library into aquiring the comics.

Yes! Bug the library!
