Patrick Stewart did a tweetie thing and gave us some free TV. > **[You can watch 'Star Trek: Picard' for free right now thanks to Patrick Stewart](https://www.space.com/watch-star-trek-picard-free-patrick-stewart-gift.html)** > > Capt. Picard wants you to "make it so." You just have to remember to cancel before they start charging. ---

Was that Picard show any good? Did it air all its episodes yet? ---

Nitpick; only access to the Picard show is free for a month (or until April 23). CBS All Access is only free for a week, under what I think is an existing offer. ---

> [@Gatopescado](#): > > The Ultimate _“Fuck You! Let’s Steal Your Money!”_ Awesome. I definitely wanted to do more to protest all these different companies trying to start up their own streaming services rather than finding a more consumer-friendly solution. Now I get to catch up on Star Trek \*and \*give the finger to CBS! ---

I signed up and saw the offer was a free month. It even said something to the effect of "cancel before April 24 to avoid being charged. " I was a bit disappointed that many of the classic shows are incomplete. _Taxi_ starts the episode after Jim’s driving test, _Happy Days_ is only one season, etc. I’ll take the free month, enjoy it, and cancel before the month is out.
