And in non-scifi department, Ted Lasso and Masters of the Air are quite good indeed! I'd say they've got the best quality shows of any platform right now.


Ted Lasso has such a tonal shift across its seasons that it's definitely going to alienate a lot of people somewhere. The first season is a comedy with some poignant moments. The second is a comedic, yet poignant, drama. I've been told the third is a poignant drama with some comedy. As you can guess, they lost me after the second season, which I only finished due to momentum.

Reading this thread, it's interesting how divisive Apple's streaming lineup is. Sure, that's par for the course with any media, but opinions seem even more varied with Apple's.


Isn't that a sign of good content?

If you're making something interesting, it's not going to be the beige thing that everyone feels "meh" (no more positive, no more negative) about.


Yes, I find that I either really like or really dislike Apple TV+ media. Which I don’t mind, because it means they are taking risks. But it’s a near 50/50 ratio, not 10% good and 90% garbage, which would make me question paying for it.


"Masters of the Air" is excellent - not sure if I can really say I am "enjoying" it as its pretty harrowing, but it's certainly compelling viewing.
