For all Mankind is a pretty solid show. I’d say it gets better after the first few episodes.
Got a tip for us?

The Morning Show was OK but I didn’t care for the gratuitous language. It’s possible to write a script without every other word being an f-bomb.
It seems as though Apple TV+ is the only one of the streaming services that I think I stand a chance of completing all the levels.. will there be a final baddie to beat once I’ve watched everything? Although I’m more impressed with the content than I thought I would...
I can play all episodes of the listed shows (and I am not subscribed).
It definitely picks up around episode 3 and gets better with each episode. The pilot is the worst of the series.
As soon as this is not longer free for those who bought an iPhone in the last year (OG signup) I will be cancelling this service.
"For all mankind" is great. The others are just as lame as those B/C rated Netflix films.

Just felt like a crappier version of Silicon Valley. I remember Tim Cook giving that show much public applause. Made sense he tried to make his own version of it.

There's absolutely no sign of this in the UK, sadly. I'd have watched For All Mankind, probably not the other stuff.
I'm looking at the UK site. It may be different where you are.

Still asking me to start a trial and then pay for it
edit: I stand corrected, it works now. Poor selection though and poor offering from Apple

Wow giving a few lousy shows away is the best this richest of all companies can muster in these times. I am disgusted by Apple. Even now all their efforts and so called aids are just more ways of selling stuff. And don’t get me started on their $5mil donations to China. At a time they should be giving back a billion To the society that has made them they give us a few crap tv shows that many would not pay for anyway.
I was into from the start, but yeah, it does just get better and better as it goes on! I mean the storyline with the kid’s basketball game, jeez!
Most people don't buy a new Apple device every year. There are an awful lot of people out there who have an Apple device to watch upon (or a participating smart TV), who have not had the offer of a free year.

Younger generation? Really? Nobody has called me young in a long time. And I enjoyed the heck out of Mythic Quest.
My cousin REALLY wants to see The Morning Show. She has no Apple devices at all and doesn’t even have iTunes on her PC... but does have a new Roku TV. I have tons of Apple devices (no brand new ones so don’t qualify for the year free trial) and have been debating signing up for the full year. But researching family sharing seems like it wouldn’t work she needs her own Apple ID to log in. Anyone know can you create one without iTunes, iPhone, Mac, or iPad lol?
No guarantees, but try icloud.com, or maybe install iTunes on her PC temporarily. Or set up an account for her yourself (maybe asking her questions over the phone), and then tell her the AppleID and password - not the most secure way to do things, but better than nothing.
If you have an old device, you could log yourself out on it and set it up with a new AppleID for her (and then tell her the name and password). And then restore the device back to yourself afterwards. But try iCloud.com first.
And you might be able to set up your account and hers as a family (haven't had any cause to play with family sharing, so I don't know the details here), in which case you could use family sharing to get her Apple TV+.
Apple has been extremely cautious to keep all their shows apolitical. Even Little America stayed FAR away from politics. It's a very smart move not to alienate ~50% of American viewers.

I bought one year too. Best $50 I ever spent on a streaming service.

They are giving away 1/3 of their content library - including some of their best shows, in Servant, For All Mankind, Dickinson, and Elephant Queen. Some people are never grateful. They didn't have to give you anything.

Binged Servant super creepy and weird but I liked it my boyfriend LOVED it. Only 10 short episodes too. Next I’ll check out For All Mankind
