The Apple TV shows I’ve watched have this weird quality about them that just... turns me off? I have a really hard time explaining it. “Progressive family-esque TV”?
Got a tip for us?

Family-esque? OK but I’ve also heard complaints that there’s too much adult content... language, sex, violence etc.
I was also pleasantly surprised - The Morning Show was amazing… Looking forward to this one as well!
You misinterpreted that scene. Finished 2 epidoses and you’ll understand what i mean.

How else do you think you make a family?

You completely misunderstood what you saw.
I won’t deny there’s adult content but it’s very tame, IMO. I don’t particularly care or need to see those things but it’s just off-putting. Like family friendly adult content. Idk.
Interesting, I can’t imagine what there is to misinterpret. But that’s food for thought I may give it another go
Glad to hear that, thought the TV trailer looked grating to someone from the UK. Wasn't going to check it out but after yours and Boyd Hilton's positive comments on it will definitely give it a chance.
The only thing I've noticed is no hard nudity. There are nude shots of behinds, but no full frontal. Even in Ted Lasso, the pinup in the player's locker has her chest somewhat covered, even before Ted duct tapes over it.
For me, this policy by Apple is a MASSIVE breath of fresh air. I enjoy the feeling of knowing that my family won't be exposed to nudity - that's a big no-no in my house. Violence, gore, and language are accepted in my family, not nudity. I like knowing that whatever I share with my family on TV+ will pass this threshold and the kids can safely watch even the more mature shows without being subjected to HBO mental pollution.
I'm sorry your sensitivities are different than my own. That doesn't make me wrong and you right.
Btw, my kids aren't young and we don't swear in our house. I meant that movies/TV shows with violence, gore, or language aren't problematic for them. As Americans, we are surrounded by so much of it on the street and in the news that we aren't bothered by it when we see it in our programming. Thankfully, America hasn't descended into depraved public nudity (yet), and I pray it never gets there.
what's depraved about public nudity? who does it hurt?
and where do you live that you are seeing violence and gore on the street?
Turn on the TV and watch the Portland/Chicago riots and violence. I mostly meant the language on the street.
Public nudity hurts me and my children. We are religious and we don't need them (or myself) seeing that crap.
Ok. FWIW, I’ve seen naked people. It doesn’t hurt. You may want to see a doctor about that.
I'm sorry. We are religious and it is painful when other people don't respect our sensitivities and flash things in our faces that we have trained our children to avert their eyes from. The fact that you can't recognize that is troubling and shows a lack of regard for others.
“Calling it like i see it” doesn’t mean it’s not an insult. I‘m glad that they continue to make tv shows with lots of nudity, because people who can’t cope with that deserve to feel uncomfortable about it.
Nah, we just rely on the video editing services like VidAngel which make those shows Kosher for us to watch. Or, we don't waste our time with that garbage. There are thankfully hundreds of thousands of clean and acceptable shows out there for us to enjoy.
And Apple TV+ keeps putting out grade A entertainment which my family enjoys. Massive kudos to Apple.
Here’s a novel thought for you, have you ever considered there’s maybe, just maybe a link between the two?
