Reportedly high budget has brought Apple TV+ a lot of prestige, but not a lot of viewers.
Are people not watching? It’s my understanding that the movies have flopped but the tv shows are doing well.
There’s plenty Id really like to watch on Apple TV. In fact, I watched Severance using my parents account while they had it temporarily. But now that I’ve tried it, I know that there’s no point in me getting it because they make it as hard as possible to watch anything if you don’t have specific devices. Literally all the other streaming services make it stupid easy to watch what you want using any device. But Apple still has a decades old stick up their ass about proprietary bullshit and they want you to get an iPhone for the simplest experience. I have loads of different devices and I ended up using an old MacBook with chrome to cast the browser to my TV. And that was really annoying and I’m not about to pay for that experience. You want my money? Make it easy. It’s that simple.
Maybe a bit late to the party but I know you can watch through https://tv.apple.com after you login
Apple has about 259 shows and movies compared to Netflix’s approximately 18,000.
Given genre preferences, that’s about 20 watchable shows, then?
If it all drags out like Wolfs I am not suprised.
We didn’t make it to the end. Good premise, way too much senseless talking.
I watch Apple TV shows more than any other service. I love SciFi and they have an excellent set of shows in that genre.
I can tell no one is watching though. The just cancelled Big Door Prize, which was really good.
Can you recommend some from their service?
I have quite a few of their shows already but I’m super into so-fi so I’ll take any recs I can get.
severance is one of the best shows anywhere in the last few years. For All Mankind is also really good.
See and Foundation are okay/watchable.
Yeah! I saw Severance and For All Mankind mentioned. I also like Silo, The Big Door Prize, Monarch, Foundation, and Sunny. There’s some others that I haven’t watched. I saw a lot of people mention Dark Matter.
Also Big Door Prize got canceled after season 2 so you might skip that. It leaves a lot of mysteries unanswered.
