I think it was like an extra $8-9 per month...though you might be able to get a free trial.

Episodes go up at the same time they air live (at least they did with Twin Peaks).

All Showtime shows via streaming premiere at midnight now on the day they premiere on TV. So this will be avail at 12:00am Sunday streaming and then 10:00pm on TV.
There might be a lil delay if you arent watching it through Showtime direct and are waiting for Hulu to get it up.

is there any info on number of episodes and length?

I think I got a free month trial when Twin Peaks was on last summer. I'll probably wait until these are all out and pay for a month of Showtime.

Okay, so, first off - the hell is your problem? What are you so mad about? How about you actually engage with what I'm saying instead of telling me "ur wrong lol" and then peacing out? Or would you have to admit you don't actually have an argument then?

Second - I see no issue in criticizing social commentary that makes no attempt at making any social change. We should probably care what they think because they're the people in power, and making fun of someone's grammar while they're hauling you off to the camps is unfunny AND useless. The current far-right fascists of the US have built an empire off of being entirely shameless. Yet another show poking fun at them for being buffoons means literally nothing to them.

I completely disagree. While they have been made fun of and poked at, they've yet to be completely humiliated and shown to be the backwards jackasses they are in a monumental way with devastating humor. That's what Sacha potentially brings to the table. And that potential impact on fence sitters and more moderate Trumpers should not be underestimated.

I've known right wingers that think Bruno (on Da Ali G Show) is hilarious, not getting the satire at all. Hardcore Trumpers won't even understand this show at all.

The Military has been Implanting Mind Controlled Neural Dust to remotely control their victims

Be careful out there.

sacha baron cohen played this perfectly. he took a long time off from playing these characters, long enough for people to let their guards down. i cannot wait to see this show.

Welll even before you posted this, the people affected have already started panicking about their forthcoming appearance, so you're objectively wrong on top of subjectively. THEY CARE A LOT. It won't simply be polling fun at them, it will, per his well understood method, have them openly expose themselves to things they'd never say on CNN. It'll be news as well as entertainment.

Well for people asking for Cohen to take on more relevant politicians and figureheads in this show I think you'll get your wish.

I'm not blindly getting hyped anymore these days by comebacks in entertainment media, but the Ali G bit at the Oscars showed promise at least.
