I liked the first episode of Amazing Stories. I will give it some more time. How many of the episodes did you watch? Anthology shows are always hard.
Have not yet watched either, but I love Octavia Spencer, so I will probably try Truth be Told for at least a few episodes.
I got through 3 episodes of truth be told and couldn’t take it anymore. All the other characters were constantly in awe of how wonderful her character is, but we never see any reason to admire her. I felt like the problem must be me, otherwise I would have stopped after the first episode.I liked the first episode of Amazing Stories. I will give it some more time.

That was my reaction to both it and See, and I was surprised by how much I have liked both. It was even more true for Ted Lasso, which just seemed like the dumbest idea and was one of the best shows I have ever seen.
That is interesting and I can understand that. It does differ from what I have heard from most of my other industry friends who all really like it. From my experience (more on the story side of games - working with licensed film TV properties), it seems spot on. What do you dislike about it, or is it just too close to work (not in portrayal, just in subject) to be fun for you?
I watched all of them (Amazing Stories, all episodes, and Truth be Told, all episodes) - the first episode was good, the last episode was good. In between, it didn't feel special. Just a knock off Twilight Zone clone. Compared to the greatness of Apple's other shows it just didn't hit for me. There were a ton of filming and production issues with rotating show writers, etc., so I'm personally not surprised by that.I liked the first episode of Amazing Stories.

See takes place in a primitive jungle. That’s not science.
Try watching For All Mankind and then tell me it's not sci-fi. They rewrite the entire space race timeline and there are massive differences. Complete science fiction at its finest.
You may not like See, but it is clearly science fiction. From Wikipedia:
Again, you may not like it, but given that it covers the space program including manned moon bases and the technology to make it work, it is hard to argue that it is not science fiction.
I’m a former games developer and I love the show so please don’t try to speak for the industry.
I’m in my 30s. The show satirizes much of what is wrong with both the tech (and particularly video game) industry, and its audience/customer base.
I cannot tell you the average age, but I can tell you that I am 56 and I think it is really funny.
You mean you did not find it funny, as opposed to it was not funny. I am sure there are many others like you who did not get the humor. I also know many others who thought it was great.
Several of my friends who like it are also over 50 and not gamers/tech industry people, so those are not requirements for enjoying it.
You are entitled to your opinion. But know that you are firmly in the minority on both counts.
Got it. You do not like them. Thanks for sharing your opinion with such a detailed explanation as to what you do not like about them. Just out of curiosity, what Science Fiction shows do you like (on any service, current or past)?
Amazon Prime’s “The Expanse” is an excellent Sci-Fi. That’s true sci-fi.
Raised by Wolves was horrible and not half the show that See was.
The Expanse is definitely science fiction. My B/F really likes it, I have not been able to get into it, but I am still watching.
I am generally not that interested in Black Mirror, as it often feels like it is dark just to be dark.
Looks interesting. Love Ridley Scott, so I will check that out.
The middle trilogy is good (although the current version has the ****** Lucas ret-con) and The Mandolorian is fun but not amazing to me. Everything else in that universe that I have seen has been terrible.
I am watching Wanda Vision, but none of that is science fiction (and most of the Marvel universe is annoying).
Sure.
Yes.
Not familiar.
Those are fantasy, not sci-fi.
The expanse is the best space series I have ever watched. One takes place in the future, has aliens, spaceships, different worlds, and your comparing to a 1950’s housewife drama? Lolol.
If you really think FAM is a 50's housewife drama at base, than that tells me you watched 2 episodes and shut the show off.
The final episode of mythic Quest, called quarantine edition, is pretty damn good. And I think Poppy is fairly neutral in that one. But there’s some visual inventiveness you won’t want to mess. Worth watching.
