I am onboard with most of your comment. I am not against new shows mind you. It is just hard for me to like a lot of the new material (as it were).

I haven't come across the deeper quality character development and content. If you have some suggestions, I will take a look.
Not exciting at all, as I expected this will be available to US UK & CANADA only.
I from Singapore.

Shows like breaking bad, better call Saul, Fargo, counterparts, Barry, the tick, the expanse, etc are all better than tv 30 years ago.
The problem is that this gem of egineering is the cheapest offering to own a Mac. Even if you don’t need a actively cooled top speed SSD nor four TB3s.
Apple didn’t the user the option to choose whether they need faster built-in graphics, faster storage, or external extendablity. And therfor for many the machine won’t be a match.
As some home luxury gadget its a great thing, but again, it’s the entry offering and still not affordable for many since they have to pay for ridiculously expensive base features they don’t need and still can’t change.
That entry offer that the Mini should be basically does not exist due to its overpriced base config. Who needs an i3 with an actively cooled tiny turbo SSD??
I still love Apple’s engineering here, but marketing seems a desaster.
Let’s hope that this was just a first step in a strategy that will bring a more balanced entry desktop offering.
What on earth does this have to do with tomorrow’s event?
Let me know if you see an iPhone XS in red. Thanks
Apple is teasing its media event tomorrow with a tongue-in-cheek "live stream" of the Steve Jobs Theater on its website.
We've been watching the stream at a glance for around six hours now, over which time we've seen everything from people cleaning the stage to a video of a dancer to an incoming iPhone call from Captain America actor Chris Evans. Marvel fans will be disappointed to hear that Apple missed the call.
Update: NBA star Kevin Durant may be at the Apple Event tomorrow based on the latest teaser of an iMessage conversation with Tim Cook. Apple is working on an original series about Durant's early life for its streaming video service.
Apple's keynote begins at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time on Monday.

I still don't get what they are pushing.
$9.99 PER channel? That is laughable.
What differentiates their offerings from other providers?
Its centennially not going to be cost.

You have to ask someone higher up in the thread history.
It might fit the general “fearing Apple’s next business decision” theme, though
I very much disagree.
FAWLTY TOWERS, SHERLOCK HOLMES (with Jeremy Brett), POIROT, YES MINISTER, RED DWARF, THE YOUNG ONES, FRASIER, CHEERS, COLUMBO, THE PROFESSIONALS, ... just off the top of my head. And yes, I know those are not exactly 30 years ago, some 40, some 25 years ago, but you may get the point.
Fargo is good though, the rest, whatever
I wonder how many of the usual suspects are actually watching this? I can think of 8 or 10 who probably are.
if Apple only uses the same energy developing new products....
Things change. Apple is reportedly rolling out the video streaming service to 100+ countries by the end of the year. Worldwide rights are difficult/expensive to acquire though so I don’t think we’ll know what will be available where until it actually launches.
Their hardware is leading in several areas.
Mobile silicon
iPad
Facial recognition
Neural engine
Wearables: Watch, Airpods...not even close
Device life
They are among leaders in:
Mobile cameras
Color accurate displays
Apple gear still has the best resale value because Apple is still leading in support and software updates.
Services are a natural progression of their hardware dominance and number of active devices.

I loved The Professionals. Great cast.
It’s not allowed to use UK shows as a reference, though, I’m afraid.
As someone who hasn't had an Android phone in close to 10 years, why do you want iMessage. I've had no complaints about iMessage, but I guess I've always assumed there is/was an Android analog that basically did all of the same things. Is there an Android messaging service? Is there a problem with it? Or is it just a case of the 2 systems being incompatible and people being unable to contact someone using the other OS, kind of like not being able to Skype someone using FaceTime?
