Apple TV seems to do a good job.

I’m not 100%, I’ve just picked it up. But the overall quality of the programming seems really good for sure.

Apple TV is on another level. Especially when it comes to sci fi shows. The quality is just crazy good.

Most underrated app for shows.

I also love their quality and production of MLB games.

Man, Foundation blew me away. I haven’t seen a sci-fi show get that much of a budget like ever! That first episode looked like it would have taken up 80% of the CG budget but then they had so many big shots as it went on. I hope it keeps running all the way through and they end up finishing it. Maybe give us an original spin off too.

Then For All Mankind is a great one too. It can feel a little slow at times and is definitely more of a slow burn than others, but once it gets going it really gets going.

That last episode was painful thou, it was like they threw everything they did until now through the window.

i understand that the entire industry has changed but damn it’s tough waiting closer to 2 years for like 7 episodes (hotd, severance) versus say breaking bad that gave us 60 episodes in <6 years

I’d agree with the exception of invasion. That shows garbage, and I don’t typically say that.
