I'm a 33 year old male too and couldn't disagree more. I've found almost every Apple TV show excellent and right up my alley.As a 33 year old male. None of apple’s programs interest me. I tried watching see and for all mankind. They’re not bad shows, but just couldn’t connect with any of them. I did like boys state, though.
Now HBO on the other hand...
Exactly. I really like the show Away on Netflix and was bummed they canceled at 1 season. Netflix has tons of season 1 shows.This is to counter the Netflix method of canceling shows early. Apple is, in effect, reassuring customers that it's worth it for them to "buy into" their shows, and the creatives/creators will be allowed to create their vision uninterrupted. It's a major breath of fresh air.

Ted Lasso and Raven's Banquet are both hilarious. Those are the two series I have watched so far.As a 33 year old male. None of apple’s programs interest me. I tried watching see and for all mankind. They’re not bad shows, but just couldn’t connect with any of them. I did like boys state, though.

I remember getting to the bitter end of Lost with the weird ending and a thousand unanswered questions, then wondering why I had ever bothered. Never again."watched by many" !== "popular with"
This show falls into the trap of a lot of puzzle box TV in that it withholds more than it answers, and by the end you feel like nothing's happened and move on to better shows.
I think lost had a plan, but because so many people figured it out they started having to trick people into thinking they didn’t. Which backfired.I remember getting to the bitter end of Lost with the weird ending and a thousand unanswered questions, then wondering why I had ever bothered. Never again.

I can't stand M. Night 'Schmuck-maylan'. Crappy, predictable, not-scary movies that always lack intelligent writing and depth. I won't be watching "The Servant." Also: how many movies about wives mourning dead children and replacing them with horrible dolls do we need? I think this is at least the 3rd or 4th in recent years.
I'm looking forward to "Foundation," and I'll probably watch "For All Mankind," because I really like some of the actors, as well as period-pieces (60's - 80's).
You cannot compare Apple TV+ to HBO. That's completely unfair. HBO is still Mecca for serious writers and showrunners because of its strong executive staff. Apple TV+ has nothing that comes close to the quality and maturity of Chernobyl or The Wire but there's hope in the years to come.As a 33 year old male. None of apple’s programs interest me.

Yeah, Netflix's throw everything at the wall and see what sticks approach to programming can be disconcerting if you end up liking one of their offerings and they aren't exactly transparent, many of their "announcements" are buried in the virtual backpages so it is easy to miss or even know that a show you like has been canceled.This is to counter the Netflix method of canceling shows early.

As a 40 year old male, I loved The Morning Show, Ted Lasso, and what I watched of Raven's Banquet (need to get back on that one). I laughed my way out of the first episode of See, and as noted, found Servant frustrating.As a 33 year old male. None of apple’s programs interest me. I tried watching see and for all mankind.

There are some like that, but plenty that go on for multiple seasons that aren't.These series that drag on for the sake of dragging on for too many seasons, I don’t watch them anymore.
It’s a fu#$|ng drug!
I prefer mini-series, or original content that has an interesting beginning and an clear end. Like (The Queen’s Gambit)
