OFFICIAL: New Star Trek series premieres January 2017
I just wanted to chime in again on this. I went ahead and did the trial and paid for a month for CBS All Access, the service is horrifically badly made. I've had streaming problems (mostly starting streams) and I swear that there are more commercials on CBS-AA than there are on broadcast tv not that I've had actual tv for a decade to make the comparison valid.
Another issue with the service is that, even though they own the content they're streaming and they don't have to pay for rights, they ration it out incredibly cheaply for the price. Jag has every other episode as one example, NCIS Los Angeles only has last season and the most recently broadcast episodes streaming, so I can't even binge to current.
CBS-AA is about six bucks a month with very frequent commercial breaks for stuff that's only sold hundreds of miles from me or drugs that I don't need or want. For my part, I'm unconvinced that one new Star Trek series is worth the poor service quality.
If the show is mediocre, All Access is absolutely not worth it, even it it's awesome, I'd be tempted to be naughty rather than pay for a substandard service run on the cheap by the content owners.
These are just my opinions, you might not mind frequent advertising but it's pretty oppressive in my humble opinion.
