In 2021/22, besides Ted Lasso and Severance, there wasn’t really any really good TV shows that got me hooked, this has massively changed in 2023 and I’m almost exclusively watching it at the moment.

Ted Lasso season 3 was good, Silo (fucking love this show), Platonic are really good and their upcoming shows also look really good. Apple are trying really hard here and I think it shows, thought it was worth stating.

The episode release format really naffs me off though as I’m hooked and then I have to wait a week, guess it makes sense from a business perspective though to ensure people are paying monthly, (except me with 6 months free access via my credit card)

I'm watching Silo and I'm super impressed with the production. I really recommend it to people who are considering watching.

[–] mermitian@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

I’m watching it too, and I honestly didn’t expect it to be this engaging and great! Seems like it is getting better by the episode. Every time I finish one I wish the next was already available

[–] Senseibull@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The aesthetics, the characters and the story make it one of the best shows I have seen in a long time.

[–] asjkk8@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

100% agreed. I even got the first book to read on my vacations.

My beautiful wife is not into sci-fi but I will try to sneak it in

[–] Senseibull@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If she likes murder mysteries like mine, tell her it’s that, that’s how I convinced my wife 🙃

[–] bowreality@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Has she watched Bad Sisters?

[–] Senseibull@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I’ll let her know about it

[–] CompMichaelA@mastodon.social 2 points 1 year ago

It’s great, i think most people would like it if they gave it a shot.

[–] Meldrik@l.danavirki.dk 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yea, got to agree. It's some really high quality stuff on ATV+.

[–] bowreality@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We need a community to discuss all their content!!

I already did 2. I don’t want to end up moderation all my fav Reddit subs here 😉

[–] Dalek 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I actually love the weekly release of episodes. It makes it easier to discuss with people who are watching it without spoiling things. We had people over for Ted Lasso every week and it wouldn’t be the same if they dropped all at once

[–] jiji 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes I came here to say this exactly! It makes discussions so much easier. You can all stay on the same page so much easier and I don’t feel forced to rush through. I like having a weekly schedule (Mondays I have [this] to look forward to, Wednesday I have [this], etc).

[–] Dalek 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

100% agree. Trying to discuss Stranger Things with coworkers was like walking a tight rope trying to avoid spoilers

[–] 2bR02b@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

We’ve just come full circle back to network shows lol

[–] jezebelley@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I was interested in Silo from the trailer. Definitely need to check it out now that Ted Lasso is finished.

[–] Brock@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Severance is the best show since breaking bad imo.

[–] LJay71@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I watched a decent amount of TV+ content in 2022 and continuing now in 2023. Silo is awesome, and Platonic is on my list. Will be starting that one very soon.

[–] CifrareVerba@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Problem with John Stewart is great for a political, real life show. I feel like it's what Last Week Tonight was before it got big.

If you like drama, The Morning Show is so freaking good. I can't wait for the next season.

[–] xray 1 points 1 year ago

I loved The Morning Show season 1. That finale was incredible. Season 2 fell off a bit for me though unfortunately.

Defending Jacob is another really good drama in my opinion.

[–] bowreality@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

So good!! All I watch right now! I would be totally up for joining an AppleTV plus community here. I was in the sub on Reddit and loved the discussion around their content.

Have you watched Pachinko? Vastly underrated show! Slow horses is great! So is Bad Sisters and several others.

[–] misguidedfunk 3 points 1 year ago

It's pretty rare I don't enjoy shows on tv+.

[–] pm_me_your_lofi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think Apple TV said fuck it let’s get back in to short stories in terms of tv. Everyone else tried to create the next Friends or whatever 12 season drama people watched on cable.

Short stories are great because they leave you wanting more.

  • Me and Abed have an agreement. If one of us dies, the other one will make look like a suicide over the cancellation unjust Firefly. We're going to get that show back on the air buddy."*

Don’t sleep on Shrinking either, it’s hilarious!!

[–] Senseibull@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is that the one with will Ferrell and paul Rudd? Actually I forgot I watched that one. Was weirdly disturbing

[–] landlockedjeff 1 points 1 year ago

Nope, Shrinking has Jason Segel and Harrison Ford. This is the funny psychologist show, not the creepy one.
