Surprised 'Severance' isn't the list.

To anyone who hasn't seen it: cough up for a single month of ATV+ just for Severence. Best thing I've seen on TV in years.

i'm not sure why everyone was raving about ted lasso. it was mid-tier at best IMO. Tehran is so far my favorite though. Gave me 24/Homeland vibes.

I hope this helps more people subscribe bc imo this is a fantastic service. Unlike other services, I don't feel like I am being smothered by so much content just hoping something would stick. Apple, so far, remains smaller but with actual quality content. I look forward to see what is to come.

Side note --IMO Ted Lasso is such a feel good show and Mythic Quest & Acapulco both deserve more love.

Me either

It solidified for me that I’m apparently far out of step with mainstream interests.

I very rarely am swept up by any show that is getting endless praise

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

The streaming market is crowded and Apple wants people to pay for an anaemic service where every programme has to be about promoting Apple's 'core values.'
Blind people stabbing each other in see, sisters killing off their brother in law in bad sisters, etc etc yeah all apple core values. Take a day off!

They must really want subscribers lol.

Sadly, Apple TV+ has basically no content compared to other streaming services.
