Because this is a forum, and this is news about a new release that has been announced. This is nothing wrong in saying that even this one is not looking appealing.
companies used to pay lots of money for focus groups to opine on their products, now they can get it for free on forums. nothing wrong with that.
Yes, but those groups would have used the product or watched the show and then give an opinion. Companies wouldn't glean anything from asking someone what do they think of a show if they haven't watched it.
That's fine, but not much insight by just saying, "no", especially when they make a point not to have watched anything on Apple TV+.
actually focus groups are also done on idea pitches
this one would look a lot like this
organizer: "how many would like to see a seth rogan show"
group: -no one raises their hand
It's a bit late now for this show as Apple has already ordered it.
Actually, wrong. I get surveys from a couple of focus groups (including one BIG entertainment co). They ask for opinions on premise with just a brief high-level description, on cast, on posters, on tag lines, on titles, etc - without seeing 1 second of footage. Happens ALL the time. I've been doing it for over 20 years. --- for fun, I looked up one of the first companies I did feedback for. Started in 1998, and I think my first with them was in '99. Looks they are still going strong!
eta on-topic: I can't stand Seth or Rose. There is nothing in this premise that makes me think "MUST SEE'. There are a couple of ATv+ shows I like - Ted Lasso and Mythic Quest (that one, marginally). But that's about it. My free year ends in April (that didn't get extended, as only expiring accounts the next two months were extended....so far). If nothing changes, I won't be paying after my free run. And that's ok. Apple will keep the service going for a while - maybe a long while - for those who enjoy it.

I really miss Mythic Quest. I have binged it a few times. Their pandemic episode was amazing. Bring on season 2!
Yes, on a premise, but this show has already been ordered. So it’s too late to give any feedback and unlikely they will listen to people who refuse to watch Apple TV+ in the first place.
And Tehran. Always looking for new episodes dropping on Fridays.
My free year ended 27th January and I've been extended to 27th February. It's my understanding everyone is being extended into February 2021. As yours expires after Feb, you get nothing
He is a very hateful, foul mouthed person. I stopped being a fan once he showed who he really is.
Wish this is not another political BORING satire like the new classless BORAT movie.
