$4.99 is more than worth it just for these 3:
The Morning Show See For all Mankind |
Re: Apple TV+ -- News and Rumors -- To launch Mid 2019
From what I read, the Apple shows are likely being posted weekly with maybe a 2-3 episode initial drop. And there is a 1 month free trial.

I agree. I could probably knock those all off in a month. Good way to spend $5.

Re: Apple TV+ -- News and Rumors -- To launch Mid 2019
I don't mind waiting till all episodes are available. I won't be facing the problem of running into spoilers like I would with traditional serialized TV shows such as GOT or the Walking Dead.
But I'm in the same boat as you, my backlog of shows to watch is pretty big. I'm not exactly yearning for more another service to pay for. |

Re: Apple TV+ -- News and Rumors -- To launch Mid 2019
Zero interest in anything Apple has to offer thus far. Of course I can't stomach Jennifer Anuston or Reese Witherspoon, and oh lookie here's a two hour documentary on Workplace Harassment from Oprah. Take my money. Please.

Re: Apple TV+ -- News and Rumors -- To launch Mid 2019
Bought a new iPad this week. So I'll be getting this for free for 1 year when it launches.
|
Re: Apple TV+ -- News and Rumors -- To launch Mid 2019
I called in to Apple to get Support on my Ipad because it was glitching, and they gave me a free subscription to the service for inconvenience. Was pretty nice of them to do.
|
Re: Apple TV+ -- News and Rumors -- To launch Mid 2019
I wonder if they will ever distinguish between paid subscribers and gifted subscribers when they eventually give out the numbers. I highly doubt it. They either need to like really gear up the service in this first year or give out another free year somehow or there's going to be a steep decline when the promos run out.

Re: Apple TV+ -- News and Rumors -- To launch Mid 2019
Okay, THIS show has my attention. I may subscribe when this hits - in probably 2-3 years. https://ew.com/tv/2019/10/22/foundat...rris-lee-pace/ |
Re: Apple TV+ -- News and Rumors -- To launch Mid 2019
Reviews of the initial shows are coming out... and they are not kind.
I still can't believe they paid 300 million for two seasons of the Morning Show. |
Re: Apple TV+ -- News and Rumors -- To launch Mid 2019
Yeah, I read a review of See. They gave it a B, but it sounds like another run-of-the-mill Netflix series.
|
Re: Apple TV+ -- News and Rumors -- To launch Mid 2019
I watched all the trailers and don't think I'll be joining on this first go round...
|
Re: Apple TV+ -- News and Rumors -- To launch Mid 2019
My wife & I watched the trailers and truly maybe 1 show might get our attention. For that maybe pay for a month and binge it. Likely will just skip it altogether.
|
Re: Apple TV+ -- News and Rumors -- To launch Mid 2019
The new issue of my free subscription to Variety including a promo code for 3 free months.
|
Re: Apple TV+ -- News and Rumors -- To launch Mid 2019
I have a year for free with the new iPad I just got. So, I'll gladly check some of these shows out over the next year.
|
Re: Apple TV+ -- News and Rumors -- To launch Mid 2019
Disappointing that Morning Show is getting bad reviews. The cast is so amazing, I just assumed the show would be good. But if Sepinwall is saying it's a bore, it probably is.
|
Re: Apple TV+ -- News and Rumors -- To launch Mid 2019
I'll watch them and make up my own mind. But there's a new TV OS update, I'm sure in prep of it debuting on Friday.

Re: Apple TV+ -- News and Rumors -- To launch Mid 2019
What about Aniston and Witherspoon screams "amazing cast"?

They’re probably considered B list at this point in their careers. Witherspoon does have Big Little Lies, which is critically acclaimed.
Do I think they and Carrell are worth $5M/episode? Of course not. But to say that the lead cast of this TV show isn't eye catching and impressive is disingenuous. It was Apple swinging for the fences, coming up with a show that people would be so desperate to see that they would subscribe to a new service . Too bad it sounds like the script isn't worthy |
Re: Apple TV+ -- News and Rumors -- To launch Mid 2019
Witherspoon is A-list. I would argue that Aniston is still B-list. Obviously both are household names.

Re: Apple TV+ -- News and Rumors -- To launch Mid 2019
I don't think the braintrust behind Apple TV+ understood what made the streaming blockbusters so huge -- most of the big ones, the NAME ones, the watercooler shows, the ones that become pop culture sensations, they are mostly coming from fresh new talent with new storytelling perspectives and ideas.
Apple TV+ builds a service, and who do they lasso in? Older Hollywood talent who have been treading the waters of mediocrity for years, whose glory days are long past. Spielberg, Aniston, Witherspoon, Oprah, etc. That would have been really exciting 20 years ago. Now? Not so much. Who's next? David E. Kelley? Glen and Les Charles? The ghosts of Steven Bochco and Paul Junger Witt? |
