The discourse (or lack of) around Apple TV is weird

Guest · 2026-05-31T20:56:02+02:00

Since the streaming wars began, each service took on their own flavour. HBO - generally decent, prestige television, but has less "content" than other services Netflix - Quantity over Quality, you get gems sometimes, but also a lot of junk to sort through Disney+ - A lot of good legacy content and very hit and miss with marvel/disney IPs, fans are willing to complain/ hate watch So here's the thing with Apple TV, I didn't subscribe to it, I bought an apple product and got 3 months free, and the discourse is either love it or just silence. No one seems to 'hate' the shows. The Good - Ted Lasso, Severance were the ones I really enjoyed, Ted Lasso felt genuine, especially with the British sensibilities and I will compare this to Shrinking later, Severance was good and hopefully doesn't have the mystery box problems The Mid - Shrinking is from Bill Lawrence who created one of my favourite shows Scrubs, but it's just super boring, I finished Netflix's Man on the Inside in a single sitting but couldnt continue Shrinking, compared to Ted Lasso, it also feels fake nice, fake chill. The Ugly - Foundation is probably one of the worst written sci fi on television now. People hated on ST: Picard very vocally and for Foundation I only found a couple of youtube videos on how bad S1 is. It's bad in a way that is not really related to the books, but having the name makes it slightly worse. The writing is basically equivalent to one of the bad Doctor Who episodes but with 10x the budget. You get occasional bursts of brilliance which basically comes out of Asimov's ideas. However, its extremely hard to point this out and TV fans will defend this, this is not the case with SW shows on Disney plus where people understand the difference between fan service and bad writing. It's pretty hard to find an opinion on Apple TV shows that says "It's OK, I didn't like it" which happens so frequently on Netflix. I'm not sure why thats the reason, just my observation and wondering if you guys have any opinions on this phenomenon

I mean kind of? It definitely is effective in some spheres (blue vs green bubbles) but I don’t think that the Apple TV content is good enough to force anyone’s hand and if the division is enough to make me NOT talk about their content with others that seems self-defeating.

The people who already love Apple aren’t going to complain about their TV, even if it’s meh, because they probably get it as part of Apple One along with the music and news and whatever else. The Apple haters aren’t going to shit talk the shows. They’ll either not watch them or they’ll shut up and enjoy them.
