The transition from a music store to a music streaming platform made sense. "Hey, you know the music that you could have bought so far? Well, now you can stream it."
Not so much for the movie/TV show business. "Hey, you know the TV shows and movies you could rent and buy? Well, fuck those, we have ten original titles that you should watch instead."
Apple TV+ doesn't feel like it builds on top of the experience and connections made with the movie/TV show renting/selling business. I just opened up the Apple TV application on my iPhone and the What to Watch list is rather sad. First one is USS Greyhound, which might actually be a decent watch. Next one is "Greatness Code", doesn't really look like my cup of tea, but probably it's probably not crap. In third there's "The Gentlemen" - oops, only available for purchase at 13.99 euro!
