It’s a great show that doesn’t pull punches on dealing with problems head on. No one is safe from feeling helpless in this series.

 

[Genelec8341]

It's an alright show, miles better then Ted Lasso IMO.
Regarding Apples TV shows, I thought Plurb was pretty good.
I hope S3 of Severance is better than S2.

 

[aloysiusfreeman]

Oh cool, needed a new show to keep me company until Pitt Thursdays

 

[macmyworld]

Love this show. Ford is fantastic in it

 

[jbc25]

"Most popular show"? Never heard of it until now.

Are you for real? 🤣

I’m waiting for the new season of “For All Mankind”.

 

[AppleFan91]

Fantastic show. It somehow ended up being my favorite so far. I like Silo, Severance, Lasso, and Slow Horses a bunch - but this show puts a smile on my face

Not once have I heard of it. The premise is interesting however. If done properly it might be fun nay interesting.

Truth be told though, I've been burnt with ATV so many times that I've stopped trying. They have this fascination for extreme slowness and visual masturbation that I just can't withstand

 

[FreakinEurekan]

I hope S3 of Severance is better than S2.

Or at least prompter.

At this rate, S3 is going to be Mark S's retirement party!

This is surprising for me to hear. ATV is about the only streaming service I trust for decent content. It’s not ALL great obviously, but enough bangers that they’ve won my subscription money. The only other service in the same ballpark is HBO.

 

[DocMultimedia]

I watched five minutes and skipped it. Tons of other good shows on ATV, but that one didn't do it for me.

For All Mankind. Can't wait for next season. And Tehran, Hijack, Severance, Pluribus... Lots of stuff I like.

 

[kotaKat]

Apple found time between all the broken software to put this one out, huh?

 

[btrach144]

One of my fav shows on AppleTV.

 

[jz0309]

watched the 2nd season, it was, slow, the constant swearing turned me off. Won't watch the 3rd season as I no longer have TMobile and I ain't paying for ATV+

 

[SFjohn]

I’ll have to check this show out. I’m waiting for the next seasons of “For All Mankind” & “Foundation”. 👍🏻

I mean I imagine the patience towards the "slowness" and their tendency to stretch the story thin, is probably idiosyncratic. Personally their shows bore me senseless.

For context foundation is one of my favorite series of books ever . But the TV series felt painful.

Same for silo/wool, I loved the books, but from what I gather thr first 2 seasons barely contain the first book. That's 18 hours of TV.

And it's not even that big a book, just 500 pages and a little more than 100k words I believe.

Pacing is atrocious

With that said their dedication to sci fi shows is unparalleled

I tried to read “Wool” but just couldn’t get through it, it was so dark, depressing & dystopian. But I’ve enjoyed watching both seasons of Silo. I read “the Foundation series” of books long ago but I’m really enjoying the Apple TV version of it as well. Obviously they are very different interpretations but I like how inventive the universe is portrayed in the Apple TV series of it. 👍🏻

Maybe you will check it out then?

 

[marte91]

Totally unwatchable. Annoying and hateable characters. Tries to mix comedy and drama while being neither funny nor suspenseful. Self-conciously diverse casting. I've come to loathe Apple TV "prestige slop" - checking enough critical boxes to be considered a "good show" while being utterly mediocre.

That's a bit Harsh.

 

[HouseLannister]

Here’s hope that the series finale features a vampire muppet musical.

I’ve really enjoyed Silo and Foundation both on ATV. I listened to the audiobook series Silo is based on and didn’t enjoy it much, but that may have been the narrator. I’ve never read Foundation.

Not that it matters, but unless I’m misremembering the stores, Wool was broken into two seasons. They finished the first book by the end of season 2. It is slow at times, but slowness doesn’t bother me if it’s done properly. For example Invasion was too slow and was painful when watching week to week (when I rewatched in preparation of the final season I felt like binge watching largely cured the pacing issue).

Totally get not being into that pace, though.

I don't watch the series either, but 5-minutes is all you gave it before moving on? Wow. Now I'm curious.

 

[TVreporter]

Funny show that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Highly recommend it.

I didn't watch it. is the show not as dark?
