That’s one view. The other is: Apple does not have a ****ing clue when it comes to original programming.
Rolling down hill to a fire you mean. Did you see the new features Google has presented with their AI?

IDK if that were true then Spotify would be second.
Yes, they only have some of the most successful people in the industry working for them on their Video Production Team, from Universal, Sony, Amazon Studios, etc., who have produced/developed some of the most successful shows ever like Breaking Bad," "Better Caul Saul," "The Crown."Rise for NBC, The Path, About a Boy, Pure Genius,Narcos, Hannibal, and F is for Family, etc. And Carpool K has been enormously successful, (it was just renewed for a second season), but, yeah, this group doesn't know anything about original programming.
They’re trying to copy google. Google has been this for more than a year. YouTube RED is free with google music subscription. With YouTube red you get no ads, background audio play, download for offline play, and YouTube originals shows.

You're probably not part of the target audience. It's been tremendously successful, just the Youtube versions alone get millions, some 20Million, of views, that's why they renewed it for a second season, but it's not really meant for the older generation as they probably wouldn't recognize any of the artists that appear, except for Will Smith or don't enjoy the cultural discussions and music.

Free I should think so as well , OMG is there folk out there who would give money to watch this rubbish ?
Apple is making its "Carpool Karaoke: The Series" television show available for free via the TV app, according to a new trailer the company shared on its YouTube channel this week (via Billboard).
Free episodes of the show will be available through the TV app starting on May 11 at 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time, giving those who don't have an Apple Music subscription a chance to watch it.
Right now, "Carpool Karaoke: The Series" is limited to Apple Music subscribers who have subscribed to a free trial or who pay the $9.99 per month fee for the service. Starting later today, the series will be available to watch in the TV app on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV even if you don't have an Apple Music subscription.
Apple plans to release new free episodes of "Carpool Karaoke: The Series" each Friday, so the entire series won't be available at once.
"Carpool Karaoke: The Series" is based on the Carpool Karaoke segment made popular by "The Late Late Show With James Corden." The show pairs up different celebrities, musicians, and athletes, putting them in a car together to sing popular songs.
Apple has released 19 episodes of "Carpool Karaoke" thus far, and the show was approved for a second season back in February.

You mean it’s to target teens in particular as some of the people criticizing here are definitely millennials.
Sometimes I think this website needs a second sidebar on the front page, for non-tech stuff.
Or the tech snobs here could simply... ignore it?
Thanks for sharing. This is the hardest I’ve laughed all week. Sadly though most of my interactions with Siri go something like that.There is soo much content everywhere else to watch I honestly so no point for Apple to get into that. They should focus on computers, mobile devices and services
You

No charge. I am not Apple Music subscriber but I can watch for free on TV App. All episodes steaming for free
Most horrible thing I've ever seen. Watched 30 seconds of it and couldn't take it anymore.
I was hoping this would be funny but I watched it and it isn't... Is Apple really this lost in recognizing what makes for a good show? Until now I have been giving them the benefit of the doubt without having actually watched any of their shows.
They clearly need to hire new producers and actors and not just people that are no longer famous for their popularity but actually funny for their comedy.

Yup!
There is no Apple TV app in Poland
They don't have to localize it too much. They could just allow it.
Apple's policy is really strange in Apple TV.
I CAN use Siri in English on iPhone in Poland.
and
I CAN'T use Siri in English on Apple TV in Poland.
How come Apple?
I can normally use it on my iPhone, but I cannot enable Siri on Apple TV in Poland...

Yeah Siri on the Apple TV is weird, I cannot use it in English with a Dutch account, yet in the Netherlands no titles of movies/shows etc get translated so I can’t use Dutch Siri either as she doesn’t understand English. Still don’t understand why Siri on the Apple TV doesn’t work like on all other devices.
The problem is that the YouTube version where James Corden handle the whole episode, is much much better than the Apple Music edition.

I don't get that regional, geopolitical mess.
With Siri on iPhone I can turn on any language, with iTunes account / App Store set to any country.
While on Apple TV, the Siri is tied somehow to the country of iTunes account.
Only 2 episodes are free (in the UK). It don't matter if the show is good or not, Just 2 out of 19 episodes is just pointless.
As usual the haters are embarrassing themselves. CK is an immensely popular show--just on Youtube alone there are millions of views, and the show is so popular they have renewed it for a second season. LOL.
Whoa! Take it easy on those haters. No reason for name calling.

It's intended for the millions of people who like the idea of celebrities singing along and having a good time to relatively popular music as they drive around, people who think that is fun, not silly. That's not exclusively the province of the young, but undoubtedly there is a declining, age-related curve.
