Apple today shared a trailer previewing the latest original TV shows and films that will be available on Apple TV+ in summer 2021 and beyond, including the second season of hit comedy series Ted Lasso, which premieres July 23.


Ted Lasso stars Jason Sudeikis as a small-time college football coach from Kansas hired to coach the professional soccer team AFC Richmond in England, despite having no experience coaching soccer. The series has received rave reviews for Lasso's unrelenting positivity, winning multiple Critics Choice Awards and several other awards.

The trailer for the second season of Ted Lasso:


MacRumors maintains a list of all TV shows and movies available on Apple TV+. The streaming service costs $4.99 per month, but a free one-year trial is included with the purchase of most new Apple devices.

I was hoping for a trailer for invasion during WWDC. It’s about the invasion of aliens on Earth and shows the perspective of it from different countries. It literally took them a year to film cause of COVID.

Yea sure Ted Lasso is “better than everyone thought it would be” but that’s hardly enough to attract and maintain subscribers past their free year.

even with Covid slowing everything down they’re going to have to start making big moves instead of “if you thought seasons 1 & 2 of Ted Lasso were good, wait until season 3 coming out 2023!”
 
Is any of it good actually?
Good is subjective so what is good to me may not be good for you. What I can say is no matter what you watch the production quality is very high on almost all the shows (Trying being the worst of the lot) so from that aspect, you shouldn't be disappointed. Now what the shows are about is another matter altogether.

I've enjoyed most of AppleTV+ offerings. The Morning Show was fantastic and I thought I wouldn't like it. See, For All Mankind, Dickinson, Servant was all outstanding. I liked Mythicquest, Ted Lasso, Trying, Truth Be Told and the list goes on. The only one I've only really disliked (That I've watched) and was really looking forward to was Amazing Stories. They could've renamed it either Boring Stories or Diversity Stories and it would've been more accurate. Want to watch something with the old Amazing Stories DNA embedded in it? Go over to Amazon Video and watch Tales from the Loop.

I do not like Oprah so haven't bothered with anything involving her, not interested in celebrities or celebrities trying to tell me how to live. Haven't partaken in any of the kid stuff either so I cannot comment on those shows. I've also only seen one movie which was Greyhound, which was good.

Even though I've started paying for it I think it is worth it. To put it into context I dropped Disney+ due to it being the least-watched at least worth app I have.

So excited about Foundation.

Anyway, all I can suggest is try it, try it for a month and watch things that interest you, and even try other shows you might not think you'd like. Only you can determine if AppleTV+ will be worth the $5.
 
Ooooh, that gave me the chills, big time. What a spectacular trailer - what an exciting year of TV+ coming up!!

Apple has been absolutely firing on all cylinders with TV+. Hands down the most exciting streaming service on the market right now. Everything Apple touches with TV+ seems to turn to gold, at least in my experience. I've watched nearly every show on TV+ and only the Oprah shows, Little Voice, and Amazing Stories disappointed. Everything else was the greatest TV I've seen in years.
 
There's a few shows that I like, and I'm looking forwarded to the renewed Seasons.
Ted Lasso [of course], The Morning Show was fantastic! Plus a few more!

Question: Does anybody know the show/movie with Will Ferrell in it? 27second mark?

It's a new multi-season (as opposed to limited series) comedy/drama series called "The Shrink Next Door" - yep - we may be getting 4-5 seasons of this absolutely amazing show. Cannot wait!!

Still not enough good shows to make me subscribe. Netflix, Disney, Amazon and HBOMax seem to be worth the money. Not Apple. Not yet.

Quality streamer? As far as the app yes. Quality shows ok, but not very entertaining. Ted Lasso, of course amazing hugely disappointed in SEE, a few others are ok just cant recall. Hmm what does that say.
You are entitled to your opinion. It’s totally off base from my perspective, but there you go.
