Apple TV+ is currently the only streaming service I’m paying for (and only because it’s bundled in with my family’s Apple One subscription); but honestly their offerings are a tier above the slop on most other services.
Between Severance, The Silo, Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, Shrinking and a bunch of others that escape me right now — it somewhat reminds me of the “good ol’ days of early Netflix exclusives” in terms of breadth and quality.
So with that said, I’m also a sucker for future/dystopia media in particular (living my rewatch of Westworld at the moment, half-way through S4); so I’ll definitely be checking this out.
It starts off well, drags through the rest of the first episode, and hits its stride about halfway through the second episode. but watch it all because when you look back you’ll appriciate the build up.
I actually started on the first episode not too long ago (it auto-played after the Severance finale); but I was still digesting that ending and didn’t pay it too much attention.
I’ll give it another try in the near future - I just wrapped up Westworld and am just starting on Snowpiercer.
Apple TV looks like it has a lot of great shows, but I’m already paying for a bunch of other streaming services and at this point I’m just not signing up for anymore on principle
That’s fair, to be honest. The missus and I began alternating streaming services ~18 months ago as we tend to only watch one-to-three shows at a time, so most services ended up going unwatched for weeks at a time.
Anything new we catch and end up enjoying, manages to ‘find its way’ onto our home NAS for later rewatching. Looking back, this was actually the easiest cut to our household budget. Would highly recommend considering it!
Not really who I pictured for Molly but it’s on Apple TV so I won’t see it anyways lol

If you haven’t looked at it yet, ‘Slow Horses.’
