No, I haven't heard of very many of the diversity hires making movies these days, and I haven't been impressed with most of the ones I have.

Like it or not, no one cares about Apple+. No one is going out of their way to buy it. I've never heard anyone outside this message board say "hey have you heard of this show/movie/whatever on Apple+?" I honestly forgot it existed until he mentioned it.

ETA: If we're hanging our hats on Apple+ to save the future of movies then we're in for a bad time.

If you like good TV series and don't have Apple+ it is your loss.

I think you just reinforced my point. It doesn't matter what anyone says, you'll just go back to your original thought with some modifications to the position of your goal posts and make the discussion useless.

Well this just isn't true at all It's only behind Amazon (inflated numbers because of Prime memberships), Netflix, Max, Disney, and Hulu. Right in line with Paramount+. Not bad considering it's only been around since 2019. Just checking Reelgoods numbers from last week, Apple+ had 3 of the 10 most watched shows.

It's you're own fault i you don't have Apple+, you're missing out on some very good TV because they put out better original content than most anyone now. For sure better than Amazon, Disney, Hulu, and Paramount. Netflix might have them just on sheer volume of shows but Apple+ catalog now is very impressive.

Not sure why this is down voted. This guy played Fred Haise in the most recent adaptation of Apollo 13

Your best example is some obscure British play filmed for online streaming by a British theatrical company nobody has heard about? It’s truly astonishing the lengths some of you will go to find something to offend you.

Available for 4 years now and not a single review


ETA: This makes Kirk Cameron look like Martin Scorsese.
