Can’t wait for Apple to start racking up more Emmys, and other awards. Heads will explode in the Apple-hate crowd 😂

Apple is just the Distributor of this show, the Production companies were Media Res, Kerry Ehrin Productions, Echo Films, and Hello Sunshine.

Based on those haters comments it felt like Tim is writing and directing these shows :D

Early naysayer here, but I'm willing to admit it is pretty well done. We watch it, altho I'm having trouble imagining, into the next season, what the next major plot line will be. Can't be "mattlauered" all over again. Anniston character divorce wouldn't even merit a headline for a real TV personality, so what tropes are in the offing?

I bet a rival channel hires Mitch and craziness ensues. Mitch vs Alex, and the ethics of giving a predator a second chance.

As it should. Really good acting and pushes the envelope with relevant topics.

I just started watching The Servant with my wife, and the first episode alone was nuts. We'll probably watch the second tonight.

I like it, but I think it's going to be a show that does best binged. The episodes are only 30 minutes, and the most recent one didn't really propel the plot. I wish I had another 2-3 to watch.

I don't let Hollywood hack trophies decide what I like to watch. Nor do I need validation by PR back patting bullcrap. Although Timmy & the Apple seeds crave it desperately.
 
I have to admit that I was very surprised at how much I like this series. It's excellent and each episode gets me to want to know more… and to want to watch the next episode. I'm not a fan of the leads and think the advertising and graphics used to promote this series are blah at best. But dangit, it's a really good show.

I agree! I wanted to just keep watching to see where things are going… and yes, the latest episode did not propel the plot, however, it was raw and real and that was the focal point.
 
Step 1 is stop giving subscriptions away for free

Let me guess you are that guy that downgraded AAPL to $195 price target because of 'giving' it away for free? You couldn't sell the service how currently is. Now when you consider that you will find pushing it out how Apple did is pure genius.

Pretty much. I knew before I watched one episode it would get award nominations. Billy Crudup is probably the best cast member of the show and he didn’t get nominated.
Agree. Crudup is acting like he's on a completely different show, and I kind of love it.

But no shock this is getting Globes noms. Rewarding stars for being stars is basically what the Globes are for.

That's your loss. If I listened to Hollywood hacks I never would have watched these shows in the first place - what with the 63% rating on RT. This is an amazing show and I encourage all my friends to watch it - so far everyone has reported back very favorably.

If you've followed awards season for years and years you'd realize the Globes really are a joke. When the voting body is around 90 people, their choices shouldn't be taken seriously. When They See Us was completely shut out. That was a fantastic limited series and miles better than anything on ATV+.

I disagree. I'd say both See and The Morning Show are miles better than When They See us.

*LOL*

You might want to watch When They See Us before making such a ridiculous statement. I'd wager nearly everyone in the industry and those who have watched all 3 of these shows are going to say When They See Us is far superior.

I'd say you are one of our members who blindly says Apple is the greatest at everything they do, including producing content. Your opinion doesn't mean much to me.

I’m sorry, but the show is just ok. Jennifer Aniston performances is abysmal. There is this one scene which she’s live on TV during the California fires and has to keep it cool. She has to pretend she isn’t crying. It’s completely cringeworthy. She can’t convey conflicting feelings at all! Bill Crudup performance is the only thing good in it I can remember of. The last two episodes were a snoozefest.

Agreed Billy Crudup is awesome in The Morning Show. The programme itself though is just alright, in my opinion. I massively prefer For All Mankind and See. I think See in particular has been hugely underrated by critics (mind you they all have). I could watch Baba Voss slit throats all day long!

They’re looking a better watch than Servant, mind you...

You can "say" whatever you want. You are spot off about me. Totally wrong. LOL. It's funny how arrogant you are.

The article is not correct. Reese is nominated for Big Little Lies, not this.
Wrong. Reese is nominated for The Morning Show - bringing the total to 3 nominations. Nicole Kidman is nominated for Big Little Lies.

False equivalence is false. What’s the problem with my wanting Apple to do well? There are a few of us here lol.

Besides, it seems to me like “the haters” as you call them have plenty to chew even if I didn’t call their attention to their mindless hate, don’t you think? Wouldn’t the forums be pretty boring if we only had Apple-hate posts?

For those who thought AppleTV+ was a failure before it even debuted, it must be disappointing when Apple has wins like this. I do hope Apple wins many more Emmys and Grammys, and racks up Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards, People’s Choice Awards, Television Critics Association awards and no doubt at some point, even Oscars. Feasting on the tears of those consumed with Apple hate, well that’s just a little icing on the cake. If that makes me an Apple-hater hater, so be it. I’m ok with that label :)
