Reportedly high budget has brought Apple TV+ a lot of prestige, but not a lot of viewers.

Severance and For All Mankind have been top notch. Dark Matter and Foundation were good too. I really hope Apple keeps funding this stuff.

Of course, we subscribe for a month and binge so maybe we’re part of the problem?

I need to. Other friends of mine have said it’s really good.

Loved that show! Can’t wait for season 2 to be out in full.

I got free 3 months. IMHO the app is superior compared to other streaming platforms. I’m definately going back as a paying customer when new seasons arrives to my favourite shows.

It's all relative, but they are shit out of luck with viewership compared to the spending.

But after five years on the market and a reported $20 billion in spending, Apple can't be happy with 0.3 percent of available streaming viewership.

Apple is notorious in keeping 1st party content exclusive, so it has to be an insane money sink if they are breaking that rule and now will start licensing their content to 3rd parties.
