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

    I keep seeing that they have some good science fiction shows and meaning to sign up. I just haven’t. Maybe when work buys me a new phone. I seem to remember a free couple of months last phone. I just didn’t get around to it.

      I really enjoy The Foundation. It almost gives you whiplash by switching between slow burn and intense action. But I do not mean that in a bad way whatsoever. A really cool aspect of the show is that it does not take place over the span of a normal movie. It takes place over a couple(?) of centuries. There’s different characters that come and go, and some others that have other ways of surviving the long time span. But it really shows you the long term consequences of certain actions.

      There is definitely a good amount of good sci fi. Definitely worth checking out when you can get a free promo. They come up fairly frequently, I’ve had 3 free 3 months (9) over the past year and a half or so

        Severance is great. Silo is OK. For all Mankind was great in the earlier seasons. Foundation is good. Extrapolations is good, but too unrealistic for the subject matter, IMO. Dark Matter (2024) is pretty good, reminds me of Sliders from my childhood.

        Edit: Oh, Sunny was good too.
