I actually like that the majority walk around wearing what they had on at the time. The TGI Friday's waitress flying a 777 is a lot funnier than a naked pilot.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

yeah exactly, and it highlights that they are all interchangeable. would be harder to show that all naked.

They even adjusted they clothing to please her. They acknowledged they had the flight crew dress more professionally on her second flight, after she got a little shook up at the TGIFridays server flying her plane.

So true! Also, from my point of view as someone that knows zilch about how casting and costuming works on a big production like this, it certainly feels like the casting call for extras was along the lines of “show up wearing whatever the hell you want to!”

The supermarket restocking scene is a great example of outfit variety.

I can't imagine Apple would go for that, they've funded some great TV but they're also pretty prudish.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It doesn't make sense in any case. People wear clothes for reasons beyond prudishness.

[–] ruuster13@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

But viewers enjoy nudity for reasons beyond hornyness.

[–] Outdated4134@piefed.zip 4 points 2 days ago (7 children)

I guess this show is going to be the reason I finally go for Apple TV. Which is painful to me as an old fashioned PC fella.

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

If you do, Severance is another smash hit in the same vein.

[–] fistac0rpse@fedia.io 7 points 2 days ago

🏴‍☠️ and buy anything you really like on DVD or Bluray. There's some great shows on Apple+ but fuck Apple

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's worth getting. Monarch, Silo, Severance, Down Cemetery Road, F1, and plenty of others. Keep it a month and record the good stuff.

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

To expand on the list of great Apple TV shows: For All Mankind, Foundation, Morning Show, Ted Lasso

There’s also a show about a video game company, that was decent. Forget the name.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Also Murderbot was an amazing adaptation

Yes, that one.

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

Apple and HBO are the 2 sources that 90% of what I watch comes from.

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works -2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Don’t hitch your identity to hating Apple. It’s silly.

[–] makeitwonderful@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Who produces what we consume is important. Not silly at all.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, maybe, to a degree (and this goes way beyond Apple as they are only one player) - but making your dislike of a specific streaming service your identity is a bit silly, all the same.

[–] Outdated4134@piefed.zip 1 points 1 day ago

It's not like that at all. It's just it's always been apple vs PC and I'm team PC so I need to root for the home team. That's all

[–] LurkingLuddite@piefed.social -4 points 2 days ago

Not worth it. At least pluribus isn't. Let the dummies downvote me all they want but that show is junk.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

it's not porn, it's HBO

"To Your Scattered Bodies Go" by Philip Jose Farmer. Everyone who lived on Earth, from apx. 50,000 BC to 2200 AD wakes up naked on the Riverworld.

Thought of that when I read the headline.

There was a miniseries. Don't watch it.
