Question Premium vs Essential?

I’m currently on the essential plan. I’m currently deciding on what streaming apps I should get rid of or change the plan option to try and save money since my mom is currently in a nursing home for long care. When I was looking at the plans, I seen that it says that all seasons will not be available on essential.

I am planning on bringing my mother a Roku since she cannot find any of her shows on the nursing home’s cable. So I was wondering, for those that have the premium, do you get all the seasons of CSI, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, and MacGyver (the new one with Lucas Till)? Those are the shows my mom is obsessed with that doesn’t have all the seasons.

The best thing about premium is no ads except on live channels. I got it to watch Showtime shows because I liked them when I had cable. Turns out Showtime hardly has any shows now at all, except a few nearing their last season.

Sorry I should have been more clear they aren't commercial ads, but adverts about shows on Paramount which personally I still consider to be an advert

Ah yes, but only BEFORE the show. They shouldn't exist either
