Fundation, severance and tales from the loop.
At other hand nice meme and Ted Lasso is a must
Silo is also on apple+
Very meh. I first episodes that followed the books more closely were pretty good but later they just remove all the good bits and what’s left is just not that interesting.
Not enough shoutouts for Shrinking here…
Ted Lasso is definitely holding up the platform, no disagreement, but there’s some other great content there as well. Prehistoric Planet, too.
Severance is brilliant
Ted Lasso and Shrinking are both made by Bill Lawrence, who also made Spin City, Scrubs, and Cougar Town.
It’s not Apple that makes the shows good.
Apple licenses the content from the creators – that’s true of almost every network and many film distributors as well.
Few distributors make their content in house. 'Netflix Original ’ doesn’t mean it was made by ‘Netflix Studios’ – they don’t exist. What happened was (for a series) that either a complete season or a pilot was shopped around, and Netflix bought the (exclusive) rights, which made that piece of content a Netflix Original. For films, they have usually already been made and are in a limited theatrical run (eg. Festivals) or are being shopped around privately. I imagine a limited few have distribution deals made prior to production, but that’s still not ‘Netflix’ (or Apple) making that content.
Apples launch content (eg. Ted Lasso) was produced to prop up the platform, but the method by which that content was discovered, funded and then licensed is not much different from how a traditional network (like NBC) might function.
Shrinking was really fire
Shrinking is right up there with Ted Lasso - the only two shows I subscribed to Apple TV for. Lol
For All Mankind, Severance, Silo, Slow Horses, Foundation, Pachinko (my personal favourite), I could go on.
Apple TV+ may not have many shows. But their quality ratio is unmatched.
And Ted Lasso got boring after the first season 🤷♂️

Ted Lasso got boring after the first season because they made everyone happy and bubbly. It worked so much better when Ted was the lone optimist.

Invasion isn’t a bad show but ignoring the fact that See, Silo, Severance, Slow Horses, Foundation, For All Mankind, and most other shows on Apple TV exist is just dumb. Ted Lasso was mid after season 1 imo but Apple TV has an unmatched quality level with most of their library. I dislike Apple but they’ve been making banger after banger compared to every other streaming service and I hope Monarch is just as good as everything else.
I feel like the difference in Apple TVs shows versus other streamers is the cinematic quality.
It reminds me of the days when the difference between network tv shows and premium cable shows was distinct.
I can’t seem to find the exact words but it feels like Apple TVs programming is just more polished, whether the plot/writing/pacing etc. is not great it still feels like a polished product that fell short.
Only reason I use AppleTV is MLS. To be fair, they’ve done better than I expected so far, hoping improvements keep coming though.
Silo
Also Severance
You haven’t watched Shrinking then…
its not an ongoing series but Station 11 kicks ass.
I would say Severance, For All Mankind, & Foundation are all good to great. Apple TV has been doing a great job with the quality vs. quantity compared to other services. I tried to get into Ted Lasso but it wasn’t for me.
Tell me you haven’t read the foundation books without saying so
“It’s impossible to like two different things.”
“I want the exact same thing that I imagined inside my head when I read the books, how do they not get it!?”
The hell is a ted lasso?
Toxic optimism: the show
The foundation was a disgrace.
Only a person who doesn’t know anything about the source material would say otherwise
Someone didn’t bother watching For All Mankind, and it shows. Do yourself a favor and give it a watch!
Yeah but stop at season 2.
Why not past 2?
