Alright y'all I'm 5 minutes in and Monarch is awesome as shit.
For All Mankind, The Buccaneers, starting Monarch King of Monsters tomorrow night! That will be fun I think.
Love FaM, Buccaneers is okay-good so far if you’re not worried about realism in costumes, etc.
Finished Shrinking and Slow Horses this past weekend. They were amazing. Severance and Silo are amazing 🤩 Now I am watching Loot, it’s entertaining so far. I dip in and out of For all mankind. Tried but could not get into Invasion.
A spinning dial....seriously this app is falling apart anymore. so frustrating. Glad I'm paying twice as much now! Legit gonna have to pirate shit I pay for so I can actually watch it...
Discussion of piracy in any form is NOT allowed in this sub.
Oppenheimer.
Finally got around to for all mankind. On season 1. This show is both a slow burn and edge of my seat, I don’t know how else to describe it, at least 6 episodes in
Oppenheimer.
For all mankind.
Lessons in chemistry.
Ted Lasso.
Beacon 23
Orphan Black: echoes.
NYAD
The Buccaneers
She came to me
Fingernails
Yowsa, lots of Apple TV+ stuff in there…
Where are you streaming orphan black? I tried to on Amazon prime but have to subscribe to paid channel
Anything on streaming services that cost less than $15 for 4K content and supports a family plan in multiple households still. So whatever isn’t on Netflix I guess lol
Has anyone seen Silo? How is it?
It’s the best show of 2023 for me
Incredible, haunting, beautiful, heartbreaking and terrifying all at the same time. Read the book just because I was wondered how it could get any better.
The morning show, you just can’t beat it
Just stumbled across the trailer for Echo 3. Worth a watch?
I liked it!
It was not a fast moving show though, I think some people expected more action all the time.
Bad sisters, physical, platonic.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.
Absolute bangers on Apple TV+. They've been putting out quality show after quality show for like $7 a month for a couple years now. I keep thinking "No way they put out another amazing show." I don't know how they are doing this so well and other streaming services have fallen off so hard. Amazon Prime is trying, but most of it's still garbage. Netflix has gone downhill on their own shows. Premier cable channels, hbo, stars, cinemax, etc all have like 1 show each that they ride for a few years. Hbo has been the best on those, of course. But AppleTV+, bangers. All of them. Napoleon looks like the next great movie. Couldn't have chosen a better person to play him. It really just doesn't make sense how they are doing it.
The price increase is well worth it. At this point, might as well cancel everything else. Apple always has like 2-4 shows running a week.
It’s the new HBO really.
Monarch. And so far it's a disapointment for me. It's not bad per se, but to me it commits the same mistake as the vast majority of kaiju media produced in the West: human drama that doesn't build up or complement the kaiju threat.
There's no tension, no sense that those creatures are an existential to humanity. It's mostly treated as a classic monster showcase, and that sucks :c
I know things deviate from their intent over time, but the idea of representing the dread of nuclear annihilation through a monster that could come out from anywhere is so compelling on its own, that I don't know why it's completely abandonned in western media about kaiju.
However, I wouldn't be making this comment if the human drama was top tier I think. As it stands it's serviceable. Not bad, but nothing great either. It's kind of bland honestly.
Just finished Blackbird, what a good show.
I enjoyed it too
exceptional
Really great show.
For all mankind. Might make a start on lessons in chemistry too.
I really enjoyed Lesson in Chemistry.
Proudly finishing Foundation season 2.
saved the season 1 finale and season 2 for this winter
What’s this show like? I’ve been incredibly interested. Is it a slow burn?
Well being new to Apple TV and + I’m finally watching Ted Lasso. Season one was great. Two… eh ok. Season Three…. I’ll just say at this point I feel committed and am going to finish it and hope it gets better.
The middle child and I are doing a Mando rewatch is season 2 (his suggestion)
Season 3 was a little bloated but there are still great episodes. Towards the end of the season the Amsterdam episode stands out.
Watched that one last night. Have to say yeah, it was pretty good.

Finished Morning Show And watching Lessons in Chemistry- both very good dramas
These days my Apple TV is purely a conduit to serve up my Plex content. Gave up on the AppleTV+ sub when they raised the prices (and kind of ran out of interesting things anyways) and don't have Netflix or Hulu anymore.
Moving pictures
Watching the Subscription Price go up!
Yah .. seriously thinking about downgrading the family plan to just icloud+ and Music which are really the only two services we use, so I can't justify the 50$ price tag in Canada for the "Premier" tier.
Blue eye samurai
Infuse app ;)
That’s a where, not a what…
For all mankind season 4
This and Silo are the only shows that I watch weekly because I couldn’t wait to see what happens next. For the rest I just wait until the season concludes and binge all.
If you watch the extra news videos for the years, 2001's one mentions that Russia is running out of lithium that's used to make the battery tech our cars rely on (in this reality that is post-fossil fuel). It goes on to mention that Politburo member Fyodor Korzhenko (played by actor Dimitar Bakalov in the news briefs, who formerly played a doctor in the movie "The Hitman's Bodyguard") rebuked Gorbachev's open market policies and accused the upper classes in the USSR of cozying up to capitalists in the West. He insisted Gorbachev "rein in these new entrepreneurs or face dire consequences"... it then mentions that should there be an economic downturn as Russia runs out of lithium and iridium, it still has large crude oil reserves.
Without giving away anything that happened in this episode, I think what we're about to see is this reality's version of the 1993 Russian constitutional crisis. No Yeltsin, no more Gorbachev. My bet is that Fyodor Korzhenko becomes the new head in the Kremlin.
All of the SciFi shows on TV+. If the other apps, integrated apps, count…. Max has Julia season 2 (season 1 was great, IMO). Watched an episode or two of One Tree Hill per day until we finished all 9 seasons. I’m watching Smallville, too.
National Geographic stuff on Disney+
Slow Horses, Trying, Severence, Shrinking
Absolutely loved Severance. Adam Scott is great in this.
Highly recommended thriller, I can’t wait for Season 2.
For All Mankind. I had a hard time getting into the show just because you have to believe in an alternate reality but it got better the second season and beyond.
That movie Fingernails was probably the dumbest thing I've ever watched on TV. I can't believe Apple would pay money to make that movie.
For All Mankind season 4 baby!
Also Goosebumps on D+ and Julia season 2 premieres tonight on HBO (or is it just Max now? Idk)
British Bake Off, Funny woman and Plan B
