Weird that you didn’t mention The Mosquito Coast but at least you put in Mythic Quest, which is the best show in existence.
CODA was good. I had never really considered what life is like for deaf people. It was funny, emotional, had a bit of action with the boat scenes. And family friendly.
Yes Mythic Quest season 1 doesn't really tell you what the show is all about, it really comes into its own in season 2. Mythic Quest found its feet very quickly.
Found Scrooge's MacRumors account.
Wolfwalkers, an animated masterpiece, one of the best films of 2020. Worth a month’s subscription on its own IMHO.

“Home before dark“ is a good show for family with kids down to around 8 I would say (murder mystery with kid investigating, not inappropriate for younger just probably get bored).
"miser Ryan Reynolds, who plays the movie's Scrooge."
Actually Will Ferrel is the actual Scrooge whose job nowadays is the Ghost of Christmas Present.
Spoiler: both Ferrell (Scrooge) and Reynolds (Briggs) get saved

I'm shocked that someone one MR posted that it's getting a third season, let alone a 2nd one!
I enjoyed my free trial. I wouldn't mind renewing to catch up on new seasons, and other shows/films I missed, but that'll have to wait until next year when my existing major streaming services expire (if not into 2024). That said, there indeed isn't as much content vs. other streaming services, which is one reason why people gladly pay x2 to x4 the price for those others.
I have given up on Apple TV (the app).
I used to buy movies for $1000 a year, but the user interface is so bad I can no longer use it. 90% of the suggested movies I have seen. You can't search after IMDB score, year, actors etc. like on other services. There is just 20 large images and you have to scroll forever to find movies.

It looks like some people like Apple TV+, and some people don’t. I really enjoyed Ted Lasso, and even Schmigadoon, even though I don’t enjoy musicals. I really enjoyed Severance. Also, The Morning Show. And the first two seasons of Dickinson were very interesting and different. The rest of the content didn’t really do it for me, but I guess there’s something for everyone.
