Boasting big-name producers like Jerry Bruckheimer (Top Gun: Maverick), Hightown has been a gritty, action-packed ride. Season 3 sees Quiñones compelled to apprehend the killer of a string of sex workers – whilst dealing with her own personal demons. 

Meanwhile, Detective Abruzzo (James Badge Dale) and police trooper Saintille (Dohn Norwood) work together to take down the local drug syndicates. Recovering from a near-fatal assault, the incarcerated Frankie (Amaury Nolasco) makes a new contact on the outside.

Most of the main cast are back for the finale, including Atkins Estimond (Inside Man) as hitman Osito. And there are new faces too, including Fear The Walking Dead actor Garret Dillahunt as Shane Frawley, a gangster from Boston muscling in on the Cape’s drug trade.

If you don't have Starz on cable, you can pick it up as an add-on service through several live TV streaming platforms, including Sling TV, Fubo, YouTube TV, Philo and DirecTV Stream.

Of these options, we recommend Philo and Sling as the standout cheapest options. In particular, we rate Sling TV as one of the best streaming services and best cable TV alternatives.

Sling TV

Sling TV is one of the most affordable cable TV alternatives on the market. New subscribers can often get the a discount on their first month of Sling. Get either the Orange or Blue plan (from $40), then add on the Starz package (an additional $9).

Fubo

Fubo is a great live TV service. With the basic Pro plan ($79.99 after your free trial), you get over 100 channels, including all the local broadcast networks and top cable brands. You'll need the Starz add-on on top of this ($9.99).

Both services are available on most, if not all, of the best streaming devices.
