Always felt that Netflix machine gun sprays their content into oblivion to see where it lands, which gives me decision paralysis. I just started using Apple TV+ two weeks ago and wow, it’s so refreshing to see how curating high quality content makes it easier for me to consume media.
With the exception of Invasion which is one of the worst shows I’ve ever seen Apple has great quality
Agree. I started with Severance, and it was brilliant. Then Silo, very engaging. And at the moment watching Lessons in Chemistry, really like it. All three have good plot, production and are interesting enough to keep me watching through the whole season and be existed for the next season.
Agreed! Most of the stuff on Netflix is crap. AppleTV has much better content.
Apple TV+ average seems much higher than other services. Naturally, not all shows catch my attention, but those I actually watch are really good!
If I may just say except for Invasion, thank you, you can finish what you were saying.
Oh yes that show was bad. Stopped after the first season.
Just starting watching the new Monarch show. Love it. Also love Severence, silo, for all mankind
For all mankind is AMAZING (especially how they put in detail to make the alternate history feel real. Although this upcoming season may be outlandish, as they have an ALT history newspaper clipping where Michael Jordan is actually a HOF level star at baseball, and the Seattle Mariners basically become a dynasty with him and Griffey Jr and Edgar together.
In concept, maybe. Just need to bring the quality IMO. 85% of ATV content is horrible.
I love that Apple TV uses the highest quality in regarding to the picture, they have one of the higher streamer bitrates and basically everything is Dolby Atmos/Dolby vision.
Definitely watching Apple TV more than any other streaming service. Also has the best sound.
This hands down. They are making some top notch shows and not throwing everything at the wall and see what sticks. Quality is everything at Apple and hope it stays that way. So far they have been the best streaming service for content quality to me.
This is SO TRUE! We have become steady Apple TV watchers instead of wasting time scrolling on Netflix, we KNOW that when apple puts out a new show, almost no matter what genre, we LOVE it!
We have been converted and not looking back
Disagree. Sure, they have some innovative content and premises that I haven’t seen before their execution is poor and there is a LOT of perfumed dogshit. I watched Hijack today and it made me sad and then mad. Had so much potential but it had bad pacing, lazy writing and was missing basic elements of storytelling.
Several shows are amazing like Ted Lasso, Severance and Lessons in Chemistry which are well written. But majority are mildly interesting like Invasion, Hijack, Foundation etc. and you think it will be good but they go nowhere and have such terrible pacing in the first 10 mins that you want them to just get to the point. It doesn’t hook me in or make me care about the characters. A lot of the time, the situations feel contrived and there is no grounding and emotional core to the story.
It’s like Apple doesn’t have good writers or directors or something since basic story is missing but it does have Oscar worthy cinematographers and awesome production design and also money to pay good talent like Idris where you think it will be awesome but it is wasted potential - basically gorgeous looking dogshit. Sigh. What a tease.
Indeed. Foundation is a masterpiece and Ted Lasso is really fun.
Netflix has declined for me in terms of the number of original shows I am interested in watching. Apple has certainly produced better shows of late.
With that said, Netflix does have more new additional movies and non-English content worth watching. They also release all episodes at once. I might spend time scrolling through Netflix to decide what I want to watch, but with Apple I watch their top shows that I am interested in and that’s it (I am not going to watch all the shows that they come up with). There can be long stretches of time where there really isn’t anything to watch. Like recently, Servant ended. Ted Lasso ended, Silo season finished, Platonic finished and Morning Show’s recent season hasn’t come out yet and there want really anything I was interested in watching. But even then say I should watch 1-3 other shows then what?
I agree, and if I didn’t have kids, I’d probably cancel many of the subscription services I have. That’s one area where TV+ is lacking.
