The hell is a ted lasso?
You can’t say the last season want just an absolute circle jerk. Character development and back story? Yeah fuck that shit, we need someone to completely abandon their character arc to fit in to this episode.
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.

While I persist with Netflix for budget, films and a few perrenial favourites… they don’t half pump the garbage. Great true crime, and just as much half baked shit-podcast-now-a-shit-series true crime :/
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 is good?
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 don’t like the other but Silo and Severance?! C’mon they are amazing! I do like Invasion too so IDK what’s this meme is about either
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.
Apple understands that trying to cut every corner to reduce cost is a recipe for garbage. More than that, they’re not afraid to spend what’s necessary to achieve better than “good”. I think they’re evil in other ways for sure, but I respect this about them. It shows in everything* they produce.
- Except for the butterfly keyboards…
We cancelled AppleTV after watching the first couple of episodes of Severance and Foundation. For all the hype, they were poorly paced and bland.
