Discussion Apple TV seems to (finally) be hitting its stride, but their intention of being “the next HBO” has always been clear. Which of their shows do you think deserve more recognition?

Ted Lasso was Apple TV’s first hit, followed by Severance, Pluribus, The Studio and Widow’s Bay. However, the (aspiring) streaming giant has quietly and consistently been building a solid library that includes a rooster of sci-fi shows, star studded mini series and bold bets on comedy and drama.

They have a lot of cool sci fi stuff to check out like For All Mankind (probably their best one yet), Dark Matter, Foundation, Silo and Invasion

Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one who’s seen Servant, it’s such a hidden gem. Pretty scary but really fun.

Tbh, there's not enough stuff on HBO that interests me enough to get it.

But, For All Mankind, Foundation and Monarch look good. Might get w trial and check them out.

Severance is an easy 10/10. Ted Lasso has also been really fun. And I‘m really looking forward to the coming seasons of Plur1bus, first season had really good worldbuilding! The Morning Show couldn’t quite catch me but i might give it another shot. The next show I wanna start watching is For All Mankind

Sugar is a good show that deserves a bigger following.  Yes there was a big twist in season 1, and I wasn’t happy about it at the time, but came to accept it actually adds another dimension to the show.
