Following Severance (which will be out in February) Apple TV+ will also release an eight episode series called "WeCrashed" based upon the WeWork saga in March [1]. And if you haven't seen it, there is also Mythic Quest (seasons 1 and 2) that is an Apple TV+ comedy series based in the offices of a game studio. Also don't forget The Morning Show which is an Apple TV+ drama based in the offices of a fictional breakfast TV show. So no matter what type of dysfunctional workplace you may enjoy, Apple will have you covered.

How about one where the office is located on a Superfund / toxic waste site [1]? [1] https://truthout.org/articles/apple-employee-blows-whistle-on-illegal-spying-and-toxic-working-conditions/ https://truthout.org/articles/apple-employee-blows-whistle-o...

there are also people who don't work in an office.

  Don't worry there's plenty of streaming originals on Apple TV+ catering for people who don't work in an office too. Such as Mr. Corman about a school teacher who used to work in a classroom but due to COVID is working from home. Or Acapulco a comedy series about a twenty-something cabana boy who works at the hottest resort in Acapulco during the heady days of the 80s. And for people who prefer a side-hustle, there's Physical which tells the story of a housewife that starts running aerobics classes in her spare time while successfully launching an accompanying home video lifestyle startup.

Don’t forget For All Mankind, an engineering workplace drama based in Houston, and Ted Lasso, which centres around hijinks in the back office of an English football club.

  The Apple original, Swagger, is also very good. Does a best job of depicting the onset of the pandemic that I’ve seen on screen. It also has the best motion graphics integrations of social media I’ve seen. It breaks new ground in the way House of Cards did with texting. The Apple Original sci-fi series, Invasion, is terrible. I can’t believe they renewed it for a second season.

What is the difference between Apple TV and Apple TV+? Do you work for Apple?

  Apple TV is a hardware device that connects to your TV, Apple TV+ is a streaming video service

  The naming scheme is unfortunate.
- happybuy 5y ago
  Those marvellous marketers at Apple sometimes hit it out of the park and sometimes trip over themselves when it comes to naming. For their media services it's unfortunately the latter. Here's the straightforward guide to everything named Apple TV: Apple TV – the separate hardware box that runs tvOS, connects to your TV and enables you to view streaming apps developed specifically for this platform on your TV Apple TV app - an application that runs on the Apple TV hardware box, iOS, macOS and third party TV platforms (Google TV, WebOS, Tizen) Apple TV+ - the Apple streaming service that provides access to Apple Original TV and Movies that is accessible through the Apple TV app on all supported platforms Apple TV Channels – third party streaming services (such as Paramount+) that can be subscribed via the Apple TV app whereby the subscription management and streaming data is handled by Apple and not the third party steaming service So simple!

Also Foundation, where people are told not to work on Earth anymore and are promptly exiled to the edge of the galaxy. Quite a good take on the Isaac Asimov story to be honest.

  Cinematically it’s gorgeous and I can’t really fault the casting either. But the romance elements they’ve a added are distracting and unnecessary.

    I like the show but yeah, it's a bit like ST Dicovery's Burnham (raised by Vulcans no less) crying 6 out of 7 episodes. Sometimes I feel like I'm watching Grey's Anatomy in Space.

      In one episode even the ship needs therapy

        Yeah, I think characters like Spock and Picard draw in a special kind of people that identify with these hero's. That is nice. But these people (me) feel no connection with the "all my emotions are on the outside" characters that are now in these shows. When Picard (or even Spock) shows emotion, it's deep and meaningful. Spock raises an eyebrow, I know this is really something! Picard yells: "The line must be drawn here!", you can see he lost rationality. In Discovery I see tears whipping around the screen for reasons I can't even remember. I love that women are getting bigger roles, but I'd love to see highly rational women, also with little outside but deep emotions. Idk, I just don't really like it this way.

        To be fair Spock (and to a lesser extent Picard, though Data also served this role) was an island of rationality for more emotional characters to play against (Saru often plays something of a similar role on Discovery.) > I love that women are getting bigger roles, but I'd love to see highly rational women, also with little outside but deep emotions. If Rebecca Romijn’s Number One on Strange New Worlds isn't very much this, I will be very disappointed.

There's also Ted Lassso which is one of the most feel-good series I've seen this year. And it fits the "workplace comedy" description as well (and no, despite it looking like it's about soccer... it's not about soccer).

Not on Apple but Planetes is a decent space station office drama. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Planetes_episodes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Planetes_episodes

They should make one about what it's like to work, eat and sleep in a giant dystopian electronics factory located in a futuristic totalitarian state... ...but they probably won't. :P
