    Well being new to Apple TV and + I’m finally watching Ted Lasso. Season one was great. Two… eh ok. Season Three…. I’ll just say at this point I feel committed and am going to finish it and hope it gets better.

    The middle child and I are doing a Mando rewatch is season 2 (his suggestion)

      Season 3 was a little bloated but there are still great episodes. Towards the end of the season the Amsterdam episode stands out.

        The Amsterdam episode for me was the best episode of the series. Just great pacing and fun to watch. The whole series as a whole is a joy to watch despite a couple of episodes that were a little disjointed.

        But top shelf quality comedy with Ted Lasso.

      Absolutely loved Severance. Adam Scott is great in this.

      Highly recommended thriller, I can’t wait for Season 2.

    These days my Apple TV is purely a conduit to serve up my Plex content. Gave up on the AppleTV+ sub when they raised the prices (and kind of ran out of interesting things anyways) and don’t have Netflix or Hulu anymore.

    All of the SciFi shows on TV+. If the other apps, integrated apps, count…. Max has Julia season 2 (season 1 was great, IMO). Watched an episode or two of One Tree Hill per day until we finished all 9 seasons. I’m watching Smallville, too.

    For All Mankind. I had a hard time getting into the show just because you have to believe in an alternate reality but it got better the second season and beyond.

    That movie Fingernails was probably the dumbest thing I’ve ever watched on TV. I can’t believe Apple would pay money to make that movie.

      Yah … seriously thinking about downgrading the family plan to just icloud+ and Music which are really the only two services we use, so I can’t justify the 50$ price tag in Canada for the “Premier” tier.

      If you watch the extra news videos for the years, 2001’s one mentions that Russia is running out of lithium that’s used to make the battery tech our cars rely on (in this reality that is post-fossil fuel). It goes on to mention that Politburo member Fyodor Korzhenko (played by actor Dimitar Bakalov in the news briefs, who formerly played a doctor in the movie “The Hitman’s Bodyguard”) rebuked Gorbachev’s open market policies and accused the upper classes in the USSR of cozying up to capitalists in the West. He insisted Gorbachev “rein in these new entrepreneurs or face dire consequences”… it then mentions that should there be an economic downturn as Russia runs out of lithium and iridium, it still has large crude oil reserves.

      Without giving away anything that happened in this episode, I think what we’re about to see is this reality’s version of the 1993 Russian constitutional crisis. No Yeltsin, no more Gorbachev. My bet is that Fyodor Korzhenko becomes the new head in the Kremlin.

      This and Silo are the only shows that I watch weekly because I couldn’t wait to see what happens next. For the rest I just wait until the season concludes and binge all.
