I think this is an excellent show, and look forward to season 2. However, ”trailer” usually connotes scenes from an upcoming presentation....this has none. Ad may be a better word.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Shares 'Servant' Season 2 Teaser Ahead of January 15 Debut

Amazing Stories and Little Voice are the only shows that I'm aware of that haven't gotten a S2 renewal announcement yet. Not surprisingly, IMO, as those are the two weakest shows on TV+ after Truth be Told (which I'm utterly surprised got a second season, I hope the writing improves).
I feel like the first season closed some storylines while leaving others open for a second season... What exactly is this cult (for lack of a better word) that she is part of and how the heck did they all disappear and what will be her next attempt to leave (and why)? I doubt we'll see the Turners again, but Leanne's story is far from over.
Edit: Just re-read that the leads are all coming back... I have no clue what they can do with the Turners next after the way season 1 ended. Why would they bring her back into their home?
We still don't know if the baby was real or not (was it their baby revived supernaturally or not?). We don't know why Leanne was sent/attracted to the Turners. We also don't know if the supernatural elements were caused by Leanne/cult or by the Turners somehow. I had a completely different take on this show than many viewers and believe all answers will ultimately involve supernatural entities.
I loved truth be told. We both thought it was fantastic. We also enjoyed most of amazing stories episodes, though some more than others.
Haven't seen little voice yet but it's on my list. I have no doubt they'll get renewed.
Oh, I totally believe there are supernatural elements at play. How can there not be? Even if you thought everything prior to the final minutes of the last episode could be explained by mass hypnosis or mental games, that disappearing act proved there were supernatural things going on at least part of the time.
Really? Didn’t hear about this show. I’ll check it outThis show was AMAZING! Excited for the second season.
Claire Fisher from SFU - anyone remember?Ugh, that ending, right in the feels.
I would be on board with that but for reasons (don't want to spoil it for anyone that hasn't seen it yet), there's really no way to bring it back.
Hey! Hey! We get MCH first.
Haven't gotten into ATV+ yet. Maybe next year.
MCH?
I hope you enjoy SFU. It's one of the best HBO series to hit television. The ending will hit you hard. It's one of the best ever for a show to date. Please message me when you finish so I can hear what you think
LOVED SFU, really enjoyed this show. Well, maybe "enjoy" is the wrong word to use. My sister-in-law never finished it because my brother told her about that last ep with the baby and just recommended she not watch it. It was... a lot. But in general, thought it was really good and one of the better things on Apple TV+ .This show was AMAZING! Excited for the second season.

It was a binge-er for sure. I really liked it. Didn't know so many people watched/loved SFU!!
As much as I would love more SFU, it's one of those shows that absolutely, 100% NAILED their series finale. Honestly, I still think it's the best series finale ever. Dexter, from what i hear, was not. So maybe they want a mulligan on that. But SFU ended on such a perfect note, and especially with the flash forwards I really think there's no need at all for more episodes to fill in the gaps there. Just let it be.
Agreed. I would even welcome a movie but again, there's just nowhere for it to go.
Anyone remember GetGlue? All the stickers and stuff? Ugh - I miss that app! Still have all my stickers too.

Will do!
Oh **** we got a tough one over here!
4K at 7Mbps to 15Mbps? Don't need lights turned down!My theory is that the actors don't want us seeing their nose hairs given everything is in 4K now, so they keep the lights turned down.
The high compression on the video acts itself as lights turned down...
I also think they apply special filters to the faces of the actors, to blurry the details on their faces.
Since ATV+ came out, I don't know any platform has put out better original content...and considering it's $5/mo, and quite honestly free for most of us...it's an amazing value. I love Servant, and it still might only be my 5th or 6th favorite series on the platform. The only real clunker I was disappointed with was See.

This week I downloaded sone ATV+ episodes on my iPad Pro with High Quality settings, they are ~3.5 GB/hour =~ 7.7 Mbps.
I remember months ago I downloaded some episodes and it was ~6 GB/hour =~ 13 Mbps.
Maybe when streaming the bitrate is higher than that of downloaded videos?
EDIT: Prime Video uses different bitrates for streaming and download as you can see in the photos below taken on the Prime Video app, maybe ATV+ is the same?
Last edited:
yeah not the same. Here's a screen shot showing a bitrate of 26.98Mbps. There are posts showing bitrates of a variety of shows on ATV+ here on macrumors as well as on AVSforums. They're all similar. I wish I could find the threads as they include all the screenshots.
What's the actual resolution of Apple TV+ Stream?
Hello guys, a quick question here... Is there anyway to check what’s the original resolution of ATV+ stream? At my home office I am using an Apple TV 4K plugged into an 1080p plasma TV. Quite an interesting read, right here...
