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

    Apple TV is the best streaming service at the moment, hands down. I say this as a lifelong Apple hater. So many bangers:

    • Slow Horses
    • Silo
    • Ted Lasso
    • Severance
    • Bad Monkey

    Then I have Shrinking and Disclaimer on my to watch list.

      I am on the fence about disclaimer. It is not a bad show, I am just unsure I like the subject matter. So far everything we have watched on Apple TV we have enjoyed.

      Shrinking is incredibly good if you enjoyed Ted Lasso. They characters are real and don’t make stupid “ish” decisions because they understand consequences exist. They also dont use movie logic. If something happens, it’s not brushed under the rug, but it’s also not blown out of proportion. It is dealt with how humans would actually deal with it. The show relies on good characters, and real life issues dealt with in a new goofy way. The only issue I have is they kinda let the train off the rails a little in season two, but it’s still very grounded compared to most all other media.

      A perfect 5/7

      Pachinko is one of the best shows across any streaming service, yet for some reason, Apple has buried it to the point that it’s nearly impossible to find in their UI.

      Shrinking is a slow burn. Give it a few episodes and the characters and acting will suddenly click and then it is very very good
