If you’re on the fence about whether to stump up for yet another paid streaming service, then CBS All Access is here to give you a hand. They’ve made the first episode of Star Trek: Picard free to watch, for a limited time.

You can watch the episode on YouTube, on the CBS All Access channel, and you can also watch it on CBS All Access. According to Star Trek on CBS All Access, who announced the free episode on Twitter yesterday, it will be available to watch until February 5th. Sadly, the offer appears to only be available to viewers in the United States.

CBS All Access is still offering a week’s free trial, in addition to the free episode, so depending on when you take up the offer, you could conceivably get the first three episodes of Picard for free. It’s worth keeping in mind, however, that the free episode is designed to get you interested so you’ll sign up...and having seen the first episode myself, I can confirm that there’s a likelihood that strategy will work.

Once again, Star Trek: Picard is now streaming on CBS All Access, and you can watch the first episode for free - until Wednesday, February 5th - on YouTube or CBS All Access.
