I liked the idea of the Studio but something about just made it unenjoyable for my wife and I. We really tried but it just fell flat for us.
Got a tip for us?

We really love Trying. glad to hear it was picked up for another year though...that means between writing, shooting, editing, ,etc it won't be out for what...a year? eek
As for The Studio...lots of hype, lots of Hollywood cameos but LOTS of SHOUTING and in-your-face Camera shots and lots of camera movement. I think the show would be good without constant yelling and camera movement.

Two Highly-Rated Apple TV+ Series
There is a huge difference between “highly-rated” and “enjoyable.” Or in the case of The Studio for me, even “watchable.” Two of us couldn’t even get through the entire pilot episode; clearly not our cups of tea.
The first few episodes of The Studio were decent and pretty funny. The "bumbling exec" schtick tires fast though and like others have mentioned, they try waaaaaay too hard with special camera and editing techniques. Also, by the 4th or 5th episode, the music playing during the show gets so annoying.
Trying was fun for the first season. Then it became repetitive and predictable and later moronic.
The studio is one giant super stylized ADHD rubby of egos in Hollyweird.
Apple's got some good content - but these two are just average.
Friends and Neighbors is an interesting one, if anyone hasn't started it yet - you should.

If the idea of trying to mash together a Martin Scorsese movie about the Jonestown massacre, starring Steve Buscemi as Jim Jones, together with "Kool-Aid IP" the studio acquired and must make into a summer blockbuster doesn't make you laugh, my condolences! (And yes, I know it was Flavor Aid, they also acknowledge that in the show despite what snarky redditors say). Also... I never even tried to watch Trying. "There is no try, do only"
I watched all the episodes of The Studio, it could have been more enjoyable if every other word wasn't the "F" word! I am no prude and I use it myself when yelling at the TV commercials, or I am just getting old? I thought "The Morning Show" was much better.
