Frequently asked questions

How is "top rated" decided here?

A title needs a rating of 7.0 or higher out of 10, from at least 100 votes, to appear on this page. The rating comes from TMDB's audience score, plus OTTpath visitors' own star ratings where enough people have rated a title. We do not use IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes scores — those are licensed and not ours to republish.

Why does a film I like not appear?

Either it is rated below 7.0, or not enough people have rated it yet. The vote floor is there on purpose: without it a single 10/10 rating would put an unknown title above everything else.

Are these the best movies and shows in United States or everywhere?

These are the highest rated movies and shows that are actually available on Paramount Plus Essential in United States right now. A better-rated film that nobody can stream here is left out, because this page is about what you can watch today.
