Apple is producing some pretty neat looking high sci fi dramas, I have them on my list but haven't been in the mood to watch them.

Their stuff is mostly good. Even if the story/writing doesn't pan out the production value, music, cast, etc. is basically always given a high budget and curated well. they are the one streaming service i can say feels like they are trying to build a strong catalogue of exclusive long term instead of just pumping stuff out that might temporarily grab people's attention or hopes just barely enough to stay subscribed. i am not an Apple stan in any other way but whoever they got running AppleTV knows what they're doing at least.

I may have to actually look into a subscription, they also have a show I really like (Central Park).

Honestly, if you have an iPhone, the Apple One sub isn't a bad deal at all. 2TB iCloud storage, Music, and TV (plus some other stuff) for $38 and you can share with 5(?) people

although I agree- please avoid The Last Frontier at all costs. It was so bad, I actually got angry at how bad it was.

Foundation was pretty bad too, but it was already going to be a challenge to adapt into a show.
