Appletv has some of the best content out there. They may be the last one standing for me at this rate.
Silo, severance, invasion, foundation, slow horses (though this latest season is pretty meh), for all mankind, and there is another one I'm forgetting.
I think companies like apple and Amazon had?(have) a huge advantage when it comes to their streaming services and content. They don't need to make money on them. They can take risks. They can let a show build. Netflix kills shows too fast. Why? Because they don't have a billion dollar business that can cash flow content that might not be hugely popular right out of the gate.
It sucks Amazon is going down this path. If they put ads I'll pay the $3, but I'm cancelling my music subscription with them to pay for it $10/mo.
