Between Smoke, Foundation and now the start of Chief of War with Jason Momoa. Apple TV might not put out the most content but they for sure put out the best quality content.

Haven’t seen foundation yet but have enjoyed smoke. Smoke started a little slow but I’m liking the later episodes better.

Highest hit rate for sure.

Severance
Dark Matter
Shrinking
The Studio
Murderbot
Your Friends and Neighbors
Mythic Quest
Black Bird
The Offer
Slow Horses
Sunny
For All Mankind
Presumed Innocent
Smoke

Personally wasn't a fan of Foundation and Silo but most like them.

They kill it with Sci-Fi.

Love when fatkid went on a rant in here talking about Apple+ going to go out of business because their streaming sucks and shows are relegated to Apple+.

Didn't plan on starting this one because it just seemed like they were like "Hey let's just make a show simply for Jason Momoa." I mean they have his name in the title, Jason Momoa Cheif of War. I mean is his character name Jason Momoa as well? Kind of lame.

ATV seems to be what Netflix once was. When Netflix started putting out original content, most of it was quality. People were actually like, "ooh! Netflix has a new series out!" Now, most of it is Syfy quality.

Man I think Smoke and Foundation are weak points in the lineup

But that's probably a testament to your overarching point even if my opinion counted here - that ATV+ has the highest overall quality.

All while championing dailywire+ as the best streaming option. I would love to see a comparison on the shows/movies released since that delusional take

I think Drops of God is the most underrated show on Apple. I recommend everybody check it out. Season 2 is in the works.

It’ll be later this afternoon before I can start, hopefully it turns out to be good.

I can already see its not going to be for the people that don’t like reading subtitles.

It took me a couple of tries to get into but it finally clicked for me. It can be painstakingly slow at times but I like where the story seems to be going.

For All Mankind is my favorite and the one I’m looking forward to the most.

Did not even know that service existed. I'm sure the TENS of subscribers enjoy it.

Sounds good, I'll have to check that out.

I love me some Rebecca Ferguson so I really wanted to like it but man it was so corny. Tried to finish it three times and just couldn't get pass the massive amount of bad acting and ridiculous scenes. The episode with them trying to fix the generator(?) was the worst. Mrs. Iwy can put up with some really corny stuff but even she was rolling her eyes at that.

I even tried to skip the end of S1 and watched the first episode of S2 and I think that might have been the worst episode of them all so I just gave up.

Though I'd still plan on reading the books at some point.

Very underrated.

Just got Apple TV, and began Ted Lasso and Severance.

Only maybe episode 5 of Severance. I don't find myself wanting to binge multiple episodes, but minutes after I turn it off, I want to go back.

I’ve seen a little over half on this list. These are the ones I haven’t:

Dark Matter
The studio
Mythic Quest
The offer
Sunny


Which one of these are the best? I’m working my way through shrinking but I tend to take longer on the 30 minute comedy shows because we watch them before bed a lot of times.

The ran a special back in April, 3 months for $2.99 a month.

Watched Severance, Dark Matter, The Studio, Murderbot, Black Bird and a couple of movies, not bad for under $9

I've seen these 4 and they're all different.

Dark Matter is more mind-bending similar to Severance type show.
The Studio is a hilarious portrayal of Hollywood show runners/producers.
Mythic Quest is kind of quirky idiot-savant video game designer with Rob McElhenney. It's not laugh out loud funny usually, but kind of "cutesy".
Sunny is sort of a black comedy mystery with lots of odd things happening with Rashida Jones.

All are probably worth a watch depending on your tastes. For me Dark Matter and The Studio are better watches. Mythic Quest gets sort of repetitive in narrative. Sunny has a twist I didn't think was earned and was not renewed for S2, although I probably would have watched it.

Dark Matter has been green-lit for S2 and Mythic Quest is finished, but has a side show: Side Quest.
