Watched the first two seasons of dexter and thats all showtime has worth watching.
Showtime's current deal with video streaming company Netflix is up in the summer, and as part of its renegotiations, the pay cable network has informed Netflix that it will no longer make its current original series available under the new pact.
Right now, all Showtime series are accessible for Netflix subscribers. Showtime CEO Matt Blank talked about the network's plans in an interview with Crain's New York Business, which first reported the move. “With all the options out there, we want to be sure people know they have to subscribe to see Dexter or The Borgias," Blank said.
Through a Showtime spokesperson, the network clarified that under the proposed new Netflix deal, series such The Tudors and Sleeper Cell, which no longer air originals, will continue to be available to Netflix subscribers. As for current and past seasons of Showtime's current original series, they "will be available to our authenticated subscribers via our TV Everywhere service Showtime Anytime," the spokesperson said.
The move is part of Showtime's efforts to protect its on-air shows and was not connected to Netflix's announcement last week that it plans to enter the original series arena with the David Fincher-Kevin Spacey drama House of Cards.

Watched the first two seasons of dexter and thats all showtime has worth watching.
same here...then spent like $80 to buy seasons 3 and 4...i watched all 4 seasons in like 2 weeks lol
Been meaning to start dexter. Might have to soon.
I don't have Showtime, but I've never watched any of their series on Netflix either. Won't make much difference to me, but a lot of people better get busy finishing up their shows!
What about Weeds?
Fail at saying Dexter is the only thing worth watching on Showtime...Weeds...and Californication are very entertaining series.
that sucks, i was waiting for Weeds season 6.
Dexter rocks, sleeper cell was really good too.
I wonder how long it will take them to realize no one wants to use their TV Anywhere crap. Weeds was ok till season 5, which was godawful. Kathleen Hunter ruined Californication for me, and I was on the fence about season 2 anyway.
Weeds jumped the shark after Season 5.
I'm looking forward to watching this new series on Showtime.
The Borgias
Oscar® winner Jeremy Irons stars in THE BORGIAS, the saga of history's most infamous crime family. Conspiring with his ruthless sons Cesare and Juan and poisonously seductive daughter Lucrezia, the charismatic Rodrigo Borgia will let nothing – and no one – stand in the way of his relentless quest for wealth and power. Mercilessly cruel and defiantly decadent, intimidation and murder are his weapons of choice in his scandalous ascension to the papacy in Renaissance-era Italy.
I still have some faith left for weeds... that's why I've been watching it, I'm still waiting on season 6 too...
Is all you do is watch TV? Get a hobby of some sort.
Just heard Starz will only allow theirs to be streamed for 90 days after the premier of the episode. The report said it's likely all movie channels will follow suit. fwiw
Californication, first few seasons of weeds..
weeds is safe, its owned by lionsgate.
..i better catch up on dexter.
There are so many levels of fail in the business world today. It's ALWAYS more expensive to set up your own distribution network. Did none of these clowns go to B school?
Season six is a disappointment in my view. Bought it last week, only have a few episodes left to watch.
What's the over/under on when SHO realizes that no one is buying/watching their channel just for their old shows, and everyone is still streaming Netflix, just not with their shows on it?
I've enjoyed the out of Shameless.
showtime from the getgo has been very stingy with their .. i've never actually seen a showtime series and i sure don't feel like i'm missing much
I have the basic netflix so I don't think I can watch any current shows but I did get hooked on Dexter.
mary louise parker is still hot but you wont be seeing that in netflix
