It really caught me off guard how much high quality and out-there content is on Apple TV+. As a scifi and comedy nerd, having shows like Silo, Severance, Foundation, For All Mankind, Strange Planet, Hello Tomorrow, Central Park, Ted Lasso, Mythic Quest, The Afterparty, etc has been fantastic. Reminds me of the old days of Netflix where cinematography and daring ideas were allowed. Not to mention the picture quality is astounding compared to other streaming services.

All that appeared on Netflix seems to be yet another reality show from 10 years ago they’ve bought from other networks to pad out their already heaving pile of reality boringness. If they hike the price again, I’m cancelling.

Apple doesn't need to turn a profit and can burn money on high quality projects and keep renewing new seasons without caring about viewership. As much as I normally hate mega corps, this is a space where they're using the fact that they're too big to fail for a positive...
