    For All Mankind, Severance, Silo, Slow Horses, Foundation, Pachinko (my personal favourite), I could go on.

    Apple TV+ may not have many shows. But their quality ratio is unmatched.

    And Ted Lasso got boring after the first season 🤷‍♂️

    Morning Show too. When we're looking for a new thing to watch we always check Apple first to see if there's anything new. Netflix drops heaps of garbage on their service then cancels the good stuff. Prime has a lot of really expensive but hollow productions. Zaslav is stripping HBO for parts. Apple doesn't put out a lot but I can usually trust the stuff they put on there.

    Yeah even shows I’m not into have a mark of quality that definitely is appealing to others interests. As is typical with Apple, they focus on quality over quantity. Haters hate, and there is plenty to be critical of, but Apple gives a fuck about quality much more than a lot of their competition.

    Invasion isn't a bad show but ignoring the fact that See, Silo, Severance, Slow Horses, Foundation, For All Mankind, and most other shows on Apple TV exist is just dumb. Ted Lasso was mid after season 1 imo but Apple TV has an unmatched quality level with most of their library. I dislike Apple but they've been making banger after banger compared to every other streaming service and I hope Monarch is just as good as everything else.

    I feel like the difference in Apple TVs shows versus other streamers is the cinematic quality.

    It reminds me of the days when the difference between network tv shows and premium cable shows was distinct.

    I can’t seem to find the exact words but it feels like Apple TVs programming is just more polished, whether the plot/writing/pacing etc. is not great it still feels like a polished product that fell short.

    Fundation, severance and tales from the loop.

    At other hand nice meme and Ted Lasso is a must

    All of those can be watched in a month, though. It's not enough to sustain an entire subscription. Also, foundation kind of sucked (nothing happened... maybe it will in the future, but also maybe it won't)

    Tales from the loop is actually on Amazon prime, lol.

    Someone didn’t bother watching For All Mankind, and it shows. Do yourself a favor and give it a watch!

    I would say Severance, For All Mankind, & Foundation are all good to great. Apple TV has been doing a great job with the quality vs. quantity compared to other services. I tried to get into Ted Lasso but it wasn’t for me.

    I love Ted Lasso, but I actually have found about a dozen shows on AppleTV+. I love Severance, The Servant, Loot, Trying, Still Up, See, Foundation, The Morning Show, Physical, nature shows, documentaries, and still have shows on my list I haven’t gotten too.

    Foundation and Silo are phenomenal

    Severance and Silo you mean. Foundation has been partly great and partly terrible. Any plotline with Brother Day has been fantastic. The others have been weak or, in the case of Salvor, terrible. Overall, the foundation is worth a watch, but it is not phenomenal, in my opinion. Not like the other shows.

    Invasion is decent

    Foundation is super good

    Slow horses is super good

    Honestly a lot of great shows recently have been on 🍎+

    Not enough shoutouts for Shrinking here...

    Ted Lasso is definitely holding up the platform, no disagreement, but there's some other great content there as well. Prehistoric Planet, too.

    How has nobody mentioned Shrinking? It's amazing! Also Bill Lawrence.

    I might still be watching invasion if it weren’t so damn dark, as in, I’m watching a black tv screen for 30% of each episode. Really enjoyed lasso, foundation, and currently watching for all mankind which is also quite good so far.

    Makes me feel better about not subscribing. I couldn't get into Ted Lasso. There, I said it, go ahead and kick sand in my face.
