Go watch Invasion if you don't believe me

Severance is so good
- It was very very very slow. The season finale was 🤯🤯🤯.
  
  I don't remember it being slow, but I think that's just because the slow pace was part of the intention behind the show. Offices are slow, horrible places to work when we're talking about corporate environments. So it added to the horror that they made many in-office experiences drag out, and it hit really hard as a result.
  So yeah, I agree, but also... I loved/hated it (mostly loved it).
- It was. I don't like this service, but this was a fantastic show.
  
  Please remember to enjoy all shows equally

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 🤷‍♂️
- Morning Show too. When we're looking for a new thing to watch we always check Apple first to see if there's anything new. Netflix drops heaps of garbage on their service then cancels the good stuff. Prime has a lot of really expensive but hollow productions. Zaslav is stripping HBO for parts. Apple doesn't put out a lot but I can usually trust the stuff they put on there.

  While I persist with Netflix for budget, films and a few perrenial favourites... they don't half pump the garbage. Great true crime, and just as much half baked shit-podcast-now-a-shit-series true crime :/
- I agreed with you right until the last sentence.
- Yeah even shows I’m not into have a mark of quality that definitely is appealing to others interests. As is typical with Apple, they focus on quality over quantity. Haters hate, and there is plenty to be critical of, but Apple gives a fuck about quality much more than a lot of their competition.
- Slow horses back at the end of the month!
- Acapulco ❤️❤️
- 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.
- Severance was one of the best shows to come out in the last few years.
- 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.
  
  Apple understands that trying to cut every corner to reduce cost is a recipe for garbage. More than that, they’re not afraid to spend what’s necessary to achieve better than “good”. I think they’re evil in other ways for sure, but I respect this about them. It shows in everything* they produce.
  Except for the butterfly keyboards…
- I don't like the other but Silo and Severance?! C'mon they are amazing! I do like Invasion too so IDK what's this meme is about either
- I really enjoyed For All Mankind.
- Slow Horses is phenomenal! One of my favourite series in years

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.
- Did Apple pick up Tales from the Loop?
  
  Just looked it up, looks like it's still Amazon. Could be missing something though.
  
  No, they did not. It's Amazon Prime.
- "For all mankind" is far from flawless but I quite enjoyed it so far.
- All of those can be watched in a month, though. It's not enough to sustain an entire subscription. Also, foundation kind of sucked (nothing happened... maybe it will in the future, but also maybe it won't)
  Tales from the loop is actually on Amazon prime, lol.

Someone didn’t bother watching For All Mankind, and it shows. Do yourself a favor and give it a watch!

I love Ted Lasso, but I actually have found about a dozen shows on AppleTV+. I love Severance, The Servant, Loot, Trying, Still Up, See, Foundation, The Morning Show, Physical, nature shows, documentaries, and still have shows on my list I haven’t gotten too.
- Thank you, Tim Apple
- Yeah I hate how many good shows they have. I want to hate apple so bad but they are putting out quality stuff

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.
- Foundation got a little boring tbf but I still watch
- Tell me you haven’t read the foundation books without saying so
  
  "It's impossible to like two different things."
  
  Read and loved them since I was a kid. I understand that different mediums have different requirements and adapting stories from the 40s/50s might necessitate some changes. I definitely have my issues with it, but I am able to enjoy it for what it is and not pretend it’s a 1 to 1 version of the books. Life is too short to get upset about entertainment.

You haven't watched Shrinking then..

Invasion is decent
Foundation is super good
Slow horses is super good
Honestly a lot of great shows recently have been on 🍎+
- Can't wait for Silo S2!
- There are some great shows on Apple TV but for me Foundation is not one of them. I really enjoyed The Afterpart.
  
  Yeah, it was kind of boring, right? Very little happens. The entire first series should have been 2-3 episodes at the most.
- How have you not tried Silo?!?
  
  It's been on my list for a while... Guess I'll have to finally watch it!

Foundation and Silo are phenomenal
- Severance and Silo you mean. Foundation has been partly great and partly terrible. Any plotline with Brother Day has been fantastic. The others have been weak or, in the case of Salvor, terrible. Overall, the foundation is worth a watch, but it is not phenomenal, in my opinion. Not like the other shows.
- And Severance. One of my most-awaited TV show returns.
- From what I have heard of Foundation, it's good if you've never read the books.
  
  Maybe someday I'll have to try it again while pretending it has nothing to do with Asimov.

Yarrrr
- This is the way but apple peeps can't help themselves.

I enjoyed Mythic Quest, I have not seen the latest season though
- Unfortunately it's absolutely abysmal.
  
  I didn't think it was that bad, but I also binged it all at once and there is a noticeable decline as the show goes on.
  
  That's a bummer. The first season was good... Except that bottle episode... Can TV just stop doing bottle episodes?

Severance and Foundation have been great. The Morning Show is pretty good, too. But yes, TL is GOAT.

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 evert 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

How has nobody mentioned Shrinking? It's amazing! Also Bill Lawrence.
- Shrinking is amazing!
- Meh, I wasn't a huge fan. Watched the entire series and it was always a borderline show. I liked The Big Door Prize better. I don't think I've seen anyone mention that on here yet...

Lessons in Chemistry is fire.
- Yes!

I might still be watching invasion if it weren’t so damn dark, as in, I’m watching a black tv screen for 30% of each episode. Really enjoyed lasso, foundation, and currently watching for all mankind which is also quite good so far.

I've been watching and enjoying black bird recently. Never had apple TV and I got 3months free with my phone so logged on to watch Ted lasso then noticed this.
- I never hear that show mentioned, but it’s excellent.
  
  It shows just how little impact being on Apple TV has compared to the other streaming services, I'd put Black Bird well above Dahmer for a true crime drama but Dahmer being on Netflix makes it so much more relevant.

Invasion is good?
- I have never wanted all of the main characters to be killed horribly by aliens more then when I watch Invasion.

Makes me feel better about not subscribing. I couldn't get into Ted Lasso. There, I said it, go ahead and kick sand in my face.

its not an ongoing series but Station 11 kicks ass.
- That's not on Apple TV. It's on (HBO) Max.
  Why are so many people in this thread attributing shows to Apple TV that were never on Apple TV?
  Apple TV+ does not have enough shows to justify $10/month.

  $10 is the new $5
  
  huh, I guess I misremembered. and I agree with you 1000%.

Only reason I use AppleTV is MLS. To be fair, they've done better than I expected so far, hoping improvements keep coming though.

Yup. And now it's over. And so is my free trial next January. Bye, Apple TV. I won't miss you.

Silo
- Also Severance

I think u meant MLS season pass....
- Maybe if they hired a single around engineer or their commentators werent on par with the NFL's "hot takes by a guy with tbi."

The foundation was a disgrace.
- Only a person who doesn’t know anything about the source material would say otherwise

Apple tried to give me a free month of Apple TV and I tried to give it back to them.

The hell is a ted lasso?
- Toxic optimism: the show
  
  Lol I disagree, but I can appreciate this point of view

We cancelled AppleTV after watching the first couple of episodes of Severance and Foundation. For all the hype, they were poorly paced and bland.
