They really need to be more diverse in their catalogue. It has some nice gems but there are waaaaay to many documentaries and Oprah stuff compared to less series and films

they say it’s a whale documentary, but i‘m not buying it. I’m pretty sure it was made by humans.

That’s like hearing about how smart dolphins are. When’s the last time you drove a car designed by a dolphin?

Covid really hit AppleTV+ hard. Mega productions had to be put on hold. Documentaries and Oprah are lesser productions that require fewer people. Probably why we're seeing more of them at this point.

Did anyone play Zoo Tycoon and remember you could have a humpback whale that would grow to like 100 years old?

Once again, Apple releasing only content curtailed to a feminine audience.

What on Earth?

I can't say for sure, but this will likely be the dumbest thing I will read today.

Oh. So the content is 100% unisex? Women typically have difference preferences then men (typically).

While I’ll want to watch Action/Thriller/Sci-Fi/Adventure, my spouse will typically go for Drama/Documentary/Nature Shows/Modern Soap Opera.

The latter being a majority of Apple TV’s content.

Can’t wait. Apple TV+ is fantastic. The new HBO.

Just got an email from Disney+ for this.

And squirrels. For supposedly being so smart, like in the GEICO commercials, there sure are a lot of them run over in the road.

Are humpbacks the most communicative? They always seem to be in docs studying whale sounds.

I was in submarines and there were several times/places where you could hear a lot of songs coming through the hull.

This will be much cooler if you watch it after taking a little LDS. (Not too much please)

Being comfy on the couch in magic underwear is the only way to watch this.

"Please, please - We're looking for the naval base in Alameda can you tell us where the nuclear wessels are?"

A story with a humorous climax?

Well, a happy ending at least. That quote is from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.

Where are all the men? J. C. Lilly was communicating with wild dolphins when Carl Sagan was still in short trousers. Go fathom!
