For All Mankind, Severance, Silo, Slow Horses, Foundation, Pachinko (my personal favourite), I could go on.
Apple TV+ may not have many shows. But their quality ratio is unmatched.
And Ted Lasso got boring after the first season 🤷♂️

Severance is so good
It was. I don't like this service, but this was a fantastic show.
Please remember to enjoy all shows equally
Invasion isn't a bad show but ignoring the fact that See, Silo, Severance, Slow Horses, Foundation, For All Mankind, and most other shows on Apple TV exist is just dumb. Ted Lasso was mid after season 1 imo but Apple TV has an unmatched quality level with most of their library. I dislike Apple but they've been making banger after banger compared to every other streaming service and I hope Monarch is just as good as everything else.
Severance was one of the best shows to come out in the last few years.
I don't like the other but Silo and Severance?! C'mon they are amazing! I do like Invasion too so IDK what's this meme is about either
I feel like the difference in Apple TVs shows versus other streamers is the cinematic quality.
It reminds me of the days when the difference between network tv shows and premium cable shows was distinct.
I can’t seem to find the exact words but it feels like Apple TVs programming is just more polished, whether the plot/writing/pacing etc. is not great it still feels like a polished product that fell short.
Apple understands that trying to cut every corner to reduce cost is a recipe for garbage. More than that, they’re not afraid to spend what’s necessary to achieve better than “good”. I think they’re evil in other ways for sure, but I respect this about them. It shows in everything* they produce.
- Except for the butterfly keyboards…
That keyboard was the absolute worst.
And they did 3 different versions of that shit before killing it for good.
It’s kind of cool to see them back to basics. Good keyboard, good connectivity, no touchbar BS, crazy good CPU and GPUs, crazy battery life.
I really enjoyed For All Mankind.

Fundation, severance and tales from the loop.
At other hand nice meme and Ted Lasso is a must
Silo is also on apple+
Very meh. I first episodes that followed the books more closely were pretty good but later they just remove all the good bits and what's left is just not that interesting.
"For all mankind" is far from flawless but I quite enjoyed it so far.
Not enough shoutouts for Shrinking here...
Ted Lasso is definitely holding up the platform, no disagreement, but there's some other great content there as well. Prehistoric Planet, too.
Severance is brilliant
Ted Lasso and Shrinking are both made by Bill Lawrence, who also made Spin City, Scrubs, and Cougar Town.
It's not Apple that makes the shows good.
Apple licenses the content from the creators -- that's true of almost every network and many film distributors as well.
Few distributors make their content in house. 'Netflix Original ' doesn't mean it was made by 'Netflix Studios' -- they don't exist. What happened was (for a series) that either a complete season or a pilot was shopped around, and Netflix bought the (exclusive) rights, which made that piece of content a Netflix Original. For films, they have usually already been made and are in a limited theatrical run (eg. Festivals) or are being shopped around privately. I imagine a limited few have distribution deals made prior to production, but that's still not 'Netflix' (or Apple) making that content.
Apples launch content (eg. Ted Lasso) was produced to prop up the platform, but the method by which that content was discovered, funded and then licensed is not much different from how a traditional network (like NBC) might function.
Shrinking was really fire
You haven't watched Shrinking then..
Foundation and Silo are phenomenal
And Severance. One of my most-awaited TV show returns.
From what I have heard of Foundation, it's good if you've never read the books.
Severance and Foundation have been great. The Morning Show is pretty good, too. But yes, TL is GOAT.
I would say Severance, For All Mankind, & Foundation are all good to great. Apple TV has been doing a great job with the quality vs. quantity compared to other services. I tried to get into Ted Lasso but it wasn’t for me.

I might still be watching invasion if it weren’t so damn dark, as in, I’m watching a black tv screen for 30% of each episode. Really enjoyed lasso, foundation, and currently watching for all mankind which is also quite good so far.
Invasion is good?
I have never wanted all of the main characters to be killed horribly by aliens more then when I watch Invasion.
I enjoyed Mythic Quest, I have not seen the latest season though
its not an ongoing series but Station 11 kicks ass.
That's not on Apple TV. It's on (HBO) Max.
Why are so many people in this thread attributing shows to Apple TV that were never on Apple TV?
Apple TV+ does not have enough shows to justify $10/month.

Only reason I use AppleTV is MLS. To be fair, they've done better than I expected so far, hoping improvements keep coming though.
Silo
Also Severance
Yup. And now it's over. And so is my free trial next January. Bye, Apple TV. I won't miss you.
Makes me feel better about not subscribing. I couldn't get into Ted Lasso. There, I said it, go ahead and kick sand in my face.
Apple tried to give me a free month of Apple TV and I tried to give it back to them.
