Apple TV+ Docuseries 'Home' Launches Featuring 'the World's Most Imaginative Dwellings'

[MacRumors]

"Home," a TV show about people who live in creative houses, today launched on Apple TV+, marking the debut of the service's first docuseries.

"Home" is described as a look at the imaginative dwellings of visionaries who challenge the conventional concepts of "home" and rethink how we live.

There are nine episodes in the series featuring different dwellings around the world in places like Sweden, Bali, Chicago, Hong Kong, Maine, India, Malibu, Austin, and Mexico. Each episode is around 30 minutes long.

The first episode of the series, "Sweden," features the home of a man who constructed a greenhouse over a log cabin, while other episodes feature a home made entirely from bamboo, a science fiction-themed house, a home made from handcrafted materials, and more.

The show is available now in the Apple TV app on iPhone, iPad, Macs, Apple TV, and select smart TVs that include the Apple TV app. It is available to all Apple TV+ subscribers.

Looks interesting.

 

[farewelwilliams]

i've only watched two series from Apple TV+ and completely forgot all about the service

Looks uninteresting.

AppleTV+ is really filling out nicely. There’s something for everyone.

Offering it free to hardware buyers was a good decision to start building up a base of users. After year one, it’ll be worth paying for.

In the future, I’d like to see it expand into live content. Like Apple Music has Beats 1, AppleTV+ could have curated content from its library as well as exclusive content to the live channel like sports and news.

Most new content looks uninteresting. Couldn’t care less about others homes. Had hope about Amazing Stories reboot but it was a failure, I guess Steven Spielberg only lent his name to the series as an exec producer, it’s really bad. Now I’m curious about Defending Jacob but early reviews are bad... Just buy MGM or some other studio!!!

I just remembered how I didn't care enough to activate the free Apple TV+ year when I bought my 11 Pro. Speaking as a heavy Netflix/Prime binger, it's one of those things I don't even want for free.

Here are hundreds of episodes more of real people's stories and their home projects: https://www.youtube.com/user/kirstendirksen/videos

I'm very interested in this, I was a real estate appraiser before I retired. Better than HGTV home shows.

Been watching "Amazing Stories" and I only like 1 or 2 episodes, the rest is meeh. It is filling up alright, but really.. For someone who subscribed TV+ since the beginning, I've been watching almost all the contents. Any shows I skipped is because I'm not interested or is not for me.

Apple really need to fill up the blanks with 3rd party contents, stream it for a limited time just like Netflix does. Maybe all Marvel movies for 3 months, or Game of Thrones complete series for 6 months, then replace it with another. Keep doing that and it'll keep me hooked. TV+ is a noob startup in the streaming world, and none of the show became a hit yet. Apple just gotta reach out to keep things interesting.

Yep I look forward to Defending Jacob, only because of Chris Evans, the most-adorable father (or Captain?) figure in the world. LOL

Cool story bro. Totally irrelevant and no one gives a damn, but thanks for sharing...

 

[ipedro]

Just watched the first episode. This is great! Can’t wait for the next one and I hope to see more of this type of production on AppleTV+.

Why be so negative? I've had 3 or 4 shows that I thought were good.

 

[sakurarain]

wooow, i really love this kind of shows

People need to let this idea go. In a couple of years there isn't going to be any third party content. Marvel Movies and Game of Thrones? Haven't you been paying attention? The owners of things like that are firing up their own streaming services and there'll be increasingly slim pickings for Apple and Netflix etc. as time goes on. Maybe in a few more years, when the weaker ones die off they'll go back to licensing again, but its not all that likely. They'll just get absorbed by the winners.

Besides, ATV+ strikes me as a bit of an antidote to Marvel movies. Not everyone's interested in Marvel stuff. Some of us are completely turned off by it, and by Game of Thrones and some of what Netflix is doing. Which is something Apple would know very well after selling movies and TV episodes direct to consumers for over a decade.

Sure, according to some users only praise is allowed as a comment.

Still waiting for Mac OS X Tiger King to debut.

 

[femike]

So when is the new and totally revamped Apple TV and tvOS coming out? It's been two years.

 

[dugbug]

Been waiting for this show to come out. I love these. Check out container homes on Hulu

 

[Saturnine]

Any UKers thinking that this is like a posh Grand Designs?

 

[robbieduncan]

Any UKers thinking that this is like a posh Grand Designs?

Is it following the build or more "The World's Most Extraordinary Homes" with Piers Taylor and Caroline Quentin?

To be fair there are a couple of shows that you could binge on for a week or so and forget about the rest, which would be quite at home on any public television channel.

Free is the right price. You would have to be a numpty to pay a monthly subscription for it, the field is mostly barren.

P.s. looking at that picture I am thinking how hard it would be to keep the dust and cobwebs down. Definitely need servants. Lotsa servants.

This is a BEAUTIFUL show. I watched some last night and felt so calm after. It's an amazing escape from my boring apartment and is giving me some ideas for where I want to live in the future.

It's a shame Apple barely promoted this - so far their docu-series have been beautifully shot and very good (See also Visible).

 

[lunarworks]

Basement dwellers unimpressed with show about beautiful houses. News at 11.

HBO will never let that happen, I have friends who subscribed to HBO just to watch Game of Thrones.

And Marvel?!! You mean those movies where you know exactly how it will end, few minutes after you start watching?? I mean, did the bad guys ever win?? Nah.

Apple TV+ has the potential and few shows are entertaining. I think about it as a TV service in BETA.
