I thought See was excellent actually. I am good at suspending disbelief.
Servant is one of my favorite shows of the year. Amazing Stories was indeed terrible.
Morning Show and Ted Lasso were masterpieces.
See was very good and very watchable. Gorgeous video. Excellent script/acting.
He. And I wish Apple was paying me. I've just been beyond thrilled with the content. Genuinely. And my opinions seem to be the consensus if you check Rotten Tomatoes.
Users like yourself and many MR commenters are the blatant outliers.
Came here to post exactly that.Damn, for a minute I thought they were going to take over the reigns of this show.

I disagree. One can make judgement calls based on no information at all. Ref: these forums.
If they were continuing the existing Dark Matter TV series I may have actually signed up for Apple TV (temporarily). As it stands, I have zero interest in the service.
Damn, for a minute I thought they were going to take over the reigns of this show.

This might have made me get Apple TV+. Especially if they also picked up Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Firefly.
Really need to catch up on all the Apple TV+ content being released recently. Used it a few months to watch launch titles and haven’t touched it since but seems like it’s growing at a good pace and with high quality content in different genres, without all the degenerate & politicised propaganda you find on Netflix. Will have to give Apple TV+ another chance soon

Whole lotta love for the SciFi (SyFy, whatever) series Dark Matter...!
I was also kinda pissed when SyFy decided against a finale season for the show, yet gave Killjoys a finale season... Don't get me wrong, I also watched all of Killjoys, it was a decent bit of sci-fi distractionary entertainment...
While we are on the subject of disappointing endings to sci-fi series, I just finished watching all two seasons of Stargate Universe again, still a major bummer when those last few minutes go by...
Even worse when it was learned that the sets were demolished, thereby preventing any plans of a closure movie (direct to video)...
Oh dear... here's what's going to happen:
Much loved and well respected novel to be turned into a series for Apple TV.
Director/producer has some connection to adolescent superhero movies.
Pivotal characters are gender/ethnicity reassigned, causing all manner of plot problems, because reasons.
New characters/plots, not in the original work, are introduced, as obviously the director/producer know better than the original author, because reasons.
A teaser trailer is produced, featuring some well-known acting talent, and a bunch of CGI and everyone (who doesn't know the original, or doesn't care) declares it to be utterly amazing.
Hordes of self confessed experts on the subject weigh in, asserting that it's not only OK, but required to 'update' and 'reinvent' the original material for a 'modern audience', and this makes it better than the original, and if you disagree, you must be some sort of bigot/racist/misogynist/anti-semitic ******.
See 'Foundation' for further details.

You do realize the TV shows produced are produced by the people working on the phones right? It's actually people who in TV and movies. Matt Tolmach doesn't make iPhones. He's a producer on films.
{Sigh} Me too! I was SO excited for a hot second. I loved that series!Damn, for a minute I thought they were going to take over the reigns of this show.
