Apple TV is such a joke. For all Mankind was ruined by Woke themes and 90% of the show is a NASA housewife drama. Apple ruined their only sci-fi and turned it into The Affair - Nasa Edition.
Instead of adding genuine sci-fi, or maybe a fantasy or action genres, Apple doubles down with shows like Oprah, Tom Hanks, and countless boring dramas.
I swear 90% of the content is tailored for a feminine audience.
I'm honestly surprised at how much I enjoy a number of the shows on ATV+. Lasso, For all Mankind, Servant, The morning show etc. Honestly, I'm probably the odd one out, but I'd keep it over Netflix at this point.
I think the Quality of the shows/movies on TV+ are top-notch. but whether you like the show/movie or not is different.
Maybe I need to rephrase it...sometimes the writing is corny, sometimes the story is a bit too far-fetched, and the acting can be ok at times but even then I tend to want to watch it. Take Home Before Dark....this is NOT a show I was really interested in and the story was way out there...unbelieveable at times and other times very cliché but it was still engaging and had me watching. Same with Mythic Quest...not one I really care about but I watched it all.
With Netflix and Amazon (to name a couple) they have SUCH a large assortment of shows and many seem to be crap.
I told a co-worker who has a free year of TV+ that almost every show is good but he may not like the content...Becoming You is good but not for someone who has no kids and doesn't really get engaged like that. Amazing
Stories is fine for kids but probably not for adults.

I've watched it 5 times through, a personal worst! First three times I kept finding stuff I missed, 4th time was boring, then after a long lag, 5th time was fun again. I keep watching it for the known quality of fun and feel good.
I remember the first couple episodes I watched initially, kept have a feeling that it would soon turn dark as a couple of "villains" were identified early (a la superhero movies). Nice surprise when it didn't happen.
I could happily have only Apple Tv+ and drop Netflix were it not for the large amount of cartoons on the latter for my kids. For adults, i find the Apple shows in general more worthwhile to watch than most Netflix shows, with obvious exceptions.
Also I don’t watch tv every day. It is ok for me not to have a giant library, prefer simply a few good shows

This is us too. Although I find the kids watching more of Disney Plus now then even Netflix so I'm thinking I may just drop it this year and save another $15-20 per month!
Yes I’m serious that the streaming service that has the most award nominations in year one is superior. Glad we established that
Gee, did you miss the part where Invasion, Foundation, and the second season of See is forthcoming?
