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.

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.
Apple TV+ is currently my favorite streamer for this very reason. It used to HBO for that same reason before Zazlov came and burned it to the ground. But yes, quality over quantity, curation breeds consistency. Also the literal quality (high bandwidth, all Dolby Vision/Atmos) is industry leading; makes for a great experience.
HBO has gone to shite. Used to be my fav but since it came free with my ATT fibre, I rarely watch it except for IDtv content which now comes with it.
Absolutely true. Currently is the only streaming I’m paying. Sometimes when sonething good comes out in Netflix, I just torrent it
Agreed. I just watched the latest episodes from the buccaneers, for all mankind, and lessons in chemistry.
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.
I just wish there’s more Gen Z shows .-. But most shows are good!
It’s also different because Netflix is trying to serve a wider variety of demographics. Apple has a narrower demographic along with a more intimate view into their customer’s preferences and produces content in accordance with that
yes I agree. No fear, everything is great. “Oh I did not really engaged with this one, maybe it’s not for me” but then you go watch something else and the quality is up there. The after some time you go through that same one you did not like at first: “damn this is actuslly fire”
The apple fanboys on here is cringeworthy😂
there’s no denying that Apple TV+'s catalog has not only consistent but also are of very high quality than compared to any streaming platforms are there.
My favorite is the Foundation Series. and I’m now itching for the season 3!
I love Apple TV+ and the constant quality of their content is one of the reasons.
Apple TV+ has definitely shown that they care about production values and are willing to invest the money needed to make shows really look good.
Both HBO and Netflix have done a really good job at points in the past, of finding producers/directors with really good ideas, and saying, “here’s lots of money, make us that thing you convinced us would be a great movie/series”. It brought all sorts of really cool and different shows to the services. Then Netflix started throwing money at any idea, rather than curating, leading to a ton of meh content, and then HBO decided mergers/buyouts were cool, but now they didn’t have money to make all the really good shows any more.
And now Apple is at that spot the others were before, where they’re taking in a small number of carefully selected ideas, and throwing money at them, asking the producers/directors to go make their visions. And the topic of any given show may not be for you, but they’re generally really well done.
Disney+ is getting it right some of the time (Mandalorian, Andor, and Loki have been really good, some of the others are really lacking, like, Secret Invasion shows the effects of a lot of compromises), but Apple is getting it right a lot of the time.
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.
