I'm subscribed to Apple One (JP) which has Apple TV bundled and happy with it being -$13 cheaper since:

  • Apple One is ¥1,350 ($8.55) per month in Japan
  • Apple One is $21.95 per month in the USA

I managed to find some shows I'd liked (Masters of the Air for example) but do you know anymore? Regardless, they offer the same thing inrespective of region: iCloud (50GB), Apple TV, Arcade & Music for an individual plan.

Also, why does it cost $13.40 less in Japan but $13.40 more in North America? Are you subscribed to Apple One in US & Canada? If so, is it a rip off? (I've heard it has increased from $20 > $22).

Lucky was fun. Crook robbed from the Mob, now on the run from the Mob and the police.

Silo.

Sugar Season 1 was good. Not feeling Season 2

Ted Lasso is the best, but Widow's Bay was a flight as well

Silo season 1 is decent. Season 2 is mid. Season 3 is a hot turd.

Ted Lasso is the most well-known and I enjoyed it. Shrinking is probably my favorite. Mythic Quest is another one that I liked. If you like Planet Earth style documentary series and dinosaurs, I highly recommend Prehistoric Planet.

Honestly i think apple tv has some of the best original shows from any streaming service.

*For All Mankind

*Lucky

*Pluribus

*Severence

*Silo

*Ted Lasso

*Mythic Quest

*Foundation

*Monarch

*See

These are off top of my head with 3 or 4 from excellent book series i read, 1 from Mac from always sunny, ted lasso cuz errybody loves ted.

For all mankind i thought is onenof the best developed story lines of any show ive ever seen. Starts with the moon landing and follows nasa decade by decade (1 decade per season) but in a different world where russia beat US to the moon and foced the politicians to put tons of funding into nasa as the result. Then goes thru each decade showing where we couldve been and could be today if that happened.

See is one of the books i read and stars Jason Mamoa but the whole world is blind. Such a fringe concept to portray on the screen which makes the good show great for how well it was filmed and portrayed by the actors.

Get HBO if you wanna watch 3 seperste shows from a song of ice and fire (they arent that good) or 20 shows about the villains from the DC univers without a single one focusing on any heros and def no batman or superman.

Get netflix if you want your favorite shows cancelled so you end up watching futurama over and over again.

Prime is the next closest as far as range and span of original shows but even still not close to apple in quality or quality of actors they pay.

Grt Disney if you support sticking broken glass up your dickhole cuz thats the enjoyment youll get out of watching either marvel shitshows or star wars movies that are half horror and half teletubbies cuz thats how id describe the new mandelorian movie.

We just finished Mr. Scorsese, which was delightful. Watching the latest season of Slow Horses. Severance is great, but not for everyone. We have enjoyed a bunch of other shows, but I'm too lazy to look up which ones came from that service. It's definitely worthwhile for our tastes. I'd get Netflix and HBO first, personally, but if you have the extra money, Apple TV series are generally high quality.
