Though I cannot figure out for the life of me why I like the show? Only on CBS do highly-specialized law enforcement professionals like profilers or forensics people kick in doors and make high-risk arrests. I call it the JAG effect (on which attorneys who happened to be in the military also flew fighter jets)...and what's with hackers who have access to blueprints of buildings constructed decades ago...(rant interrupted)
Oh, er, right. Pretty good deal.

Anyway, I still buy Vudu stuff but have dramatically ramped down. "Nothing much has changed" would be fine if the app wasn't abysmal (on every platform).
Relevant to this deal - I've found binging shows on Vudu to not be very smooth. It's easy to lose your place, it doesn't always auto-play or continue to the correct episode, and will often start in the middle of an episode. I've had this happen on iPad OS and a couple different TVs (Sony and Fire).
5 years ago Vudu was the best option - it had the most integrations with sharing services. Now that's mostly moot. (It also has almost the exact same app as back then too.)
And, unlike Stadia, if NBC Universal / Warner Bros shut it down... we ain't getting refunds.

Regarding the comment about Stadia. Yes that was shut down by Google,but everyone received a refund. Stadia had maybe 1, maybe 2 million users, not enough of which were active. Vudu has more than 60 million users. It will remain a valuable property.
Regarding the comment about Apple: Yes, Apple is the largest company in the world, but they shut down LaLa music (which I loved). Everyone did receive a refund.
Regarding the Vudu interface: Yes, there are problems, but Vudu is the easiest service where I have found I can watch a TV partway, then access that show a year or more later and most easily find where I left off. The trick for TV shows is to let the next episode play for 10 seconds or so before exiting the app. Vudu also has a useful "jump to scene" feature.
