Foundation on Apple TV+, beautiful, complicated, epic sci-fi. I’m rewatching the first season whilst the second is getting released week by week.

Honestly Apple TV+ is a pretty good service; Silo, Severance, Physical, Shrinking, Mythic Quest, For All Mankind and Invasion are all worth a watch, and that’s just the stuff I’ve seen.
I would recommend at least taking a trial for a month, there is less stuff but it’s a lot higher quality than much of the junk on Netflix.
The Witcher
American Pickers
Twin Peaks, LOST, DARK, Mr. Robot, Legion
Mr. Robot, Westworld, Dark, BB, BCS etc.

Season 1 of Altered Carbon is still my favorite show.
Absolutely loved season 1, literally slept through 2nd, why was it so bad?
The creator of the show was also the co-showrunner for season 1. Season 2 only had the other, non-creator showrunner, who apparently said in an interview that she wanted season 2 to be “less Bladerunner”, more “Chronicles of Riddick”.
I think that explains what happened pretty succinctly.
Honestly I’m not sure why it was such a drastic quality drop, but jesus christ it was,
I think a lot of it had to do with the way the books were so different. The first was a neonoir cyberpunk detective story, the second and third book were planet spanning adventure with some alien things going on and more body swapping which is hard when you have a main star in the show.
Probably What We Do In The Shadows. Consistently great.
I’m hyped as fuck for season 5. It’s gonna be a good one
I just finished amphibia together with the gf and it was so good! I wish I could watch it for the first time again
Lost, The OA, The Office
The OA looked interesting, but I haven’t looked into it beyond the autoplayed trailer. Do you have a 1 sentence description/comparison?
Metaphysical cerebral drama. The only unfortunate thing I will say about the show is it fell victim to the Netflix ban train. It was meant to have 5 seasons and only got 2. The creators have been very vocal and consistent with saying they want to bring the end to us no matter what though.
That’s too bad. Are the first two seasons worth watching on their own or should I see if it finds a new home before starting it?
Personally, I love the show for the symbolism in it. I’ve gone back and rewatched it maybe 6 or 7 times. I just wish it had more. That said, I’d say it’s worth a watch.
I thought it was pretty awful. It’s incredibly pretentious and just generally really stupid. End of season one was honestly pretty embarrassing, and the fact that anyone liked it is honestly baffling
I mean, to be honest, I tend to like pretentious sci-fi, so I still might give it a chance, but thanks for giving me some context for prioritization
This really is barely sci fi
Heard.
Ted Lasso.
We just finished, I hope there will be a spinoff because I’m not ready to finish with them all. There are still so many things for them to do, Roy Kent is the best.
So good I had to binge watch it all over again as soon as I finished.
I love S01 and S02, but S03 was a huge letdown for me compared with S01 and S02. Too many side stories and unnecessary new characters and important things happening off screen rather than on screen
I just started watching this show and was amazed how funny and heartfelt it is. Can’t believe I slept on it for so long.
The Great is really unlike anything else I can think of
Right now? Silo. Every damn episode of that first season was perfect. In a few months it will probably be Star Trek Lower Decks again.
I lost interest in it after 5 episodes… It was too slow.
Silo is fantastic. If you need another great show on Apple TV, watch Severance. It’s the best show I’ve seen in years.
I wish I could wipe my memory of Severance and watch it again for the first time again.
Such an incredible show.
I liked it a bunch, but I’ve told anyone that I don’t recommend it until the next season comes out. That cliffhanger ending was too nasty.
I second Severance - excellent show. I’m adding Carnivale into the mix here.
rewatching Arrested Development which I havent rewatched since early streaming Netflix if memory serves. It is really just as quick and ridiculous as I remembered, loving every bit of it!
