AppleTV and the associated original programming feels like a fail at this point, another attempt by Apple to throw money at markets they don't understand
- VeejayRampay 3y agoyou're being a bit too harsh here, AppleTV has produced series such as For All Mankind, Severance, Pachinko, Ted Lasso, Foundation, Silo, I think they're doing OK so far, TV is hard
- stuckkeys 3y agoLasso and Foundation is pretty damn good.
- gruturo 3y agoAdd Slow Horses to the list, it's great.
- VeejayRampay 3y agoabsolutely, it's actually up there with Severance as top tier from AppleTV
- vinay427 3y agoIt does have TV in the name (Apple TV+), which the Oscars doesn’t cater for. Apple seems to be doing just fine (Ted Lasso, etc.) at the Emmys considering most of their originals are TV series AFAICT.
- karmakaze 3y agoThat's only to tie the service to the "Apple TV" hardware--(most) people still watch movies on their TVs at home.
- cmsj 3y agoAs someone who doesn't understand the TV/Movie market, other than being an avid consumer of certain genres of their output, I'm curious what it is that Apple has misjudged with AppleTV+.
- ChicagoBoy11 3y agoThey won best picture at the Academy award two years ago, and seem to have been focusing on TV content. And, for what it's worth, Killers of the Flower Moon was a terrific feature film in its own right, was nominated for many categories, but certainly did not merit the best picture not. I'd argue this is a bit of a harsh criticism for a studio that, for all intents and purposes, seems to be doing quite well!
