Poppy!!!!!!!!!!!!
What? They're one year old as a service. They have For All Mankind, which is an incredible sci-fi TV show, and I am looking forward to hearing more about Foundation - it looks like they are sparing no expense. Tehran is a KICKASS action thriller, not a movie either, but it's WAYYY better than decent.

Greyhound - decent action movie for sure. I enjoyed it. I thought the action was heart pounding. Not overly long either.

Give it a couple years - Apple will have a massive stable of solid sci-fi soon. Good sci-fi doesn't get made overnight. Apple knows their core audience loves sci-fi.
Foundation looks incredible!
 
I thought mythic Quest was really fun, and pretty much enjoyed every character on it except for… Poppy.

Hard to tell where the character ends and the actress starts, but some combination of the two didn’t work for me. Grating, annoying, hard to root for. Anyone else feel the same way?

I hope they tweak the character in season 2. Otherwise, really looking forward to it. The quarantine episode was a really fantastic piece of television. Probably the single greatest COVID-19 scene that’s been done so far on any show.
 
Apple today shared a teaser for the second season of popular Apple TV+ comedy "Mythic Quest,"

Quotes should also be around the word "comedy." As someone who works in the game industry, I found a lot of the show incredibly unfunny. I imagine this is how cops feel about cop shows.

You're not the only one. Ruins the show for me for those very reasons. Made it 2-3 episodes in and haven't really been too excited to continue. Ted Lasso on the other hand, binged that in about 2 weeks time which is impressive considering my schedule.

I found Ted Lasso a little too predictable and unoriginal. A lot of the humour ripped off from Ricky Gervais, but still enjoyed it.
Mythic Quest was more fun and I took Poppy not that seriously and really enjoyed the series a little more than TL.

But really both were great for me, and will be watching both new series.

Not me. Poppy had me coming back to the show.
 
Mythic Quest is the reason that I paid for an Apple TV+ subscription. Yes, I actually paid for it. Then I bought a mini which gave me a free year so I'm good until 2022.

That episode deserved an emmy. And it's completely disconnected from the rest of the series - watch the Quarantine special and thank me later.
I didn’t like the episode at all. Mostly because of the disconnection. I don’t exactly understand why people think it is some sort of a standalone masterpiece. Nothing special about it, pretty straightforward simple and predictable story.

But glad that it worked for so many others. And I am happy that the second season is coming.
 
I have to wonder the average age of everyone who thinks this show is great? We watched a couple episodes when it came out and it was NOT FUNNY at all. We're not young, not gamers or developers, so the "jokes" just didn't hit with us. A big PASS!

Yet Apple still can’t make a decent action or sci-fi flick
Tehran is a pretty great thriller so far. See is great as is For All Mankind and both are science fiction. What do you think they have made that is an action or science fiction that was not good? Really looking forward to Foundation and hope it is well done.
