You have to download it from the Amazon App Store. Or you can visit amazon.com in your browser, search for it and when you “buy it” it’ll install it automatically to your Fire TV. Of course if you’re logged in with the same accounts on both devices.
You didn’t mention Dickinson. Im an Apple fanboy that came into it very skeptical, but I’m pleasantly surprised.
Glad I don’t have the same tastes as you in television. You seem bitter. Eat an Apple?
Really wish it was free for any new device purchased in 2019... I spent $3 grand on an iMac - how about a freebie as a thank you Tim 😆
Watch all 3 episodes and will watch new episodes when it drops. It’s not bad at all.
Saw the first episode of See. Not my taste.
Saw the first episode of red moon. Made me want to see episode 2 so this looks pretty interesting.
Started seeing Elephant queen and whoa - marvelous cinematography! Need to finish on my next flight!
Regardless, I’m super happy I have the 512GB iPad because I now have 75GB just in TV shows there...

Started my 1 year free trial as someone who bought an iPhone after Sept 1. I can't believe Apple payed a quarter Billion for Morning Show. Total trash.
My feedback: so far I watched 2 episodes "SEE" and all 3 episodes "For All Mankind", really like them.
My wife's feedback: she started to watch the "Ghostwriter", it is a little bit under expectation (at least for the first 2 episodes)...... [maybe not her taste]
Summary: $4.99/month catches our attention; after the free period, we will continue subscribing the service.
Expectation: we are subscribing both Netflix and Hulu as well. We see Apple TV+ having a good begin, but more, we expect its performance in the future, especially whilst increasing the series. [quantity increasing --> easy, quality keeping / improving --> difficult]

"The morning show" would be the last one on my to-watch list.

In 2019, I bought an iPad pro, ATV 4k, and iPhone XR, all by the end of summer. Apple really doesn't care anymore; they've learned they can do whatever they want and grow profits.
But I don't really see anything I want to watch anyway, so I don't care at this point, and a relative on my family plan is going to get another XR pretty soon.
The morning show. Watched all 3. The show seems to take itself too seriously. Lots of cursing for no real reason. People panicking over a silly morning news show (I never watch morning news shows). I didn’t really get that part. Hypocrisy in full swing though. Are any of these people actually likable?
See. I made it 5 mins. Couldn’t take it anymore. What’s with the plastic water bottle at the beginning? This show is too silly.
For all mankind. Couldn’t get past 10 mins.
Hopefully Apple can do some sci-fi that isn’t about blind people.

Got a pop-up on my iPad telling me we were eligible - we'd purchased a MacBook Air in early October. But no matter how I try logging in, or where, all I see is the "7 day free" standard offer.
Not a big deal since nothing looks particularly interesting, except possibly Dickinson. But hopefully what I ran into is a very unusual problem - Apple doesn't really need another botched launch right now.

Not sure what Apple TV that you're talking about. What you just described is not the Apple TV the rest of us are using.
There are ads in some of the third-party apps, but that's not a flaw of Apple TV, or Apple's software.

No place for this here. See ya.
Make sure not to cancel your one-year subscription right after signing up because it ends it right away rather than letting you have a full year's access.
i am not even sure this shady practice is even legal in the EU!

I don't know why this is surprising though. Apple Arcade and Apple News were the same if you cancel before the trial ends it ended immediately. Whether it is right or wrong I don't know.
Well none of these shows are the next Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad that’s for sure.
A free year of this dross? Cheap at half the price.

The Mourning Show (not a typo) is supposed to be about gender politics - as portrayed by two white women making impulsive decisions.
