Paramount+ (subscription)  and Roku (free) are streaming platforms that are in multiple countries and expanding fast. They are starting to offer Asian shows, especially Kdramas.

Paramount+ even has EXCLUSIVE foreign rights to air several new 2024 Kdramas, including Pyramid Game, Dongjae: The Good and The Bastard, and Dreaming of Cinde Fxxxing Rella.  source: https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/paramount-korean-tv-shows-content-cj-enm-1235736482/

The show Signal is now available on both Paramount+ and Roku (see links below) but I can't add them to the show page since these platforms are not listed in the Services.

Hack is to include this information in a Where to Watch thread in the Discussion section. Maybe mention it in Comments too, especially for less popular titles.

Not ideal but this gets the information on the page and it's something we can do on our own.

@Elisheva I have done that for multi shows but most people don't look in the discussions for which platforms shows are streaming on. Which is why I usually add it in the comments as well.

It's also impossible to search for that. Right now, I can go to Explore, Top Shows, go over to Advanced Search, and add Netflix to Services, then click search. With that, I get all the shows on Netflix. Can't do that for Paramount+ when it's intentionally excluded from the network list.

While I usually check out MDL first to find out where a show is streaming, I also go to other sources like Watch Any Stream to find out where shows are streaming.

For example: Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale is on Paramount+ and you can even see which countries have it on Watch Any Stream (see link).

It's a hack, just what we can do as users. Will help some but not all, depending on how they use the site.

I really appreciate it when some kind user posts this information. I actually prefer that it is a discussion to just having an icon.

For some shows they can sometimes have obscure or not so obvious places to watch. In other cases the show is uncut/uncensored one place, and the TV version plays on a different source.

It also allows users to comment things like captions not working properly, quality issues, missing episodes, paywalls, and other things you don't get with just a simple "Where To Watch" icon or link.

It consolidates these type comments in one location instead of spread throughout the comments section where you may or may not see it.

Also, the icons don't indicate which country a title's available in for the platform. Netflix can be especially misleading that way, at least with Thai titles. Like maybe that's reliable for I don't know, K-dramas in the US but not universally.

Updating the platforms list to better reflect current options is important, as is fans helping each other.

Netflix and others can be so region specific, especially like you say Thai dramas, which is what I primarily watch.


Edit:

"as is fans helping each other."
