Personally, I enjoy this TV show, the story line is interesting and actually quite original, I honestly have no clue where it's going and that's the main reason why I watch it.
Most movies and TV show are so "deja vu", having something different is refreshing.
TV show don't do well after the first or second season anyway, so better enjoy the moment while it's good
I don't have Apple TV (though I should) but was able to watch the first episode on Amazon Prime. It started out interesting but seemed to turn into a zombie movie (I'm not sure that it is). They almost lost me altogether at the 25-minute mark.
I see that this is done by the same guy who did "Breaking Bad" and I could never get into that, either.
One thing I noticed in a lot of series nowadays is bad editing and poor continuity. Sometimes there's a train of thought that just disappears; all brought on, perhaps, by a rush to market.
A director commented somewhere that they liked doing the episodic streaming shows because they last longer and they can develop the characters and stories better than in a 90-minute or longer feature movie. The problem I have is that I find myself watching one episode--or in part--then not watching again for a few days but forgetting who characters are and I lose the plot or direction it was going.
The exception is when I binge watch something like "The Diplomat" or "The Pitt" or .... uh... others I forget now but that means I have nothing else better to do (which is a lie).
I'll have to get Apple TV+ next year because they secured the Formula 1 rights. I hope they just broadcast the British commenting team, the f1tv team, with all respect, isn't as good.
If you’re into sci-fi, AppleTV has really got a lot of shows. Severance, Silo, Foundation, For All Mankind. Add in Ted Lasso, Slow Horses, and Shrinking, and they have a small (relative to Prime/Netflix) stable of high-quality shows.
drhowarddrfine I remember when the first Daredevil series came out. Even though my knowledge of film is minus X, I remember thinking, at the time, how directors all said they like Netflix, et al because they don't have the time constraints, and me thinking, this would be a better show with tighter editing, e.g., too much time in pauses that time constraints would have eliminated.
