I received a request to write a review, so I will. Apple TV+ is phenomenal. You guys have done a wonderful job of creating a great brand in such a short period of time. I particularly love the super-intelligent writing on all of the shows and films, the great acting, and the cinematography is stellar and very unique to Apple. I LOVE “The Morning Show.” It’s appointment viewing reminiscent of network television. I’m hoping there’s a chance you’ll bring back “Servant.” I adored the slow pace and build up of that show. I also loved the fact that it was based in Philadelphia, a city that’s so rich in content possibilities. I also love “Home,” which is beautifully done. I want Apple to come up with more programming focusing on African-American, Hispanic and Asian people and characters, but I do NOT want to see one-dimensional, stereotypical, picture-board cut outs. I want to see people of color who are WHOLE human beings who have lives, intentions and motivations that aren’t often seen. In short, LEAD with their HUMANITY and not with their ethnicity. The actors will naturally supply the ethnicity and nuances. In addition, I’d like to see Apple TV+ take a stronger stance against worldwide injustice and the current threat to democracy with more news content and documentaries that enlighten the public. As a (former) journalist and current corporate communications professional, I believe the world needs more of this type of content. In short, great job, but Apple TV+’s best work is still ahead. Hope that helps. — Michael Corbin

I’ve never written a review in my entire existence for a show or a movie. But this is worth writing one and it is with great pleasure to write a review on Ted lasso. WHEN I SAY THIS COMEDY SHOW WAS CONSISTENT WITH EACH JOKE AND PUNCH THROUGHOUT ALL SEASONS… this show has got it covered. I love how each inclusive Ted lasso is, and the character build up is written in such an intriguing way that you almost need to watch longer just to see what happens next. Each season includes diversity, duality, and authentic raw humor. It’s quick witted and by far one of the best shows I’ve seen in a very long time. They written and selected each character so perfectly where it doesn’t feel cringy, it’s almost refreshing!! you can tell theirs good synergy behind the scenes within actors , it flows and doesn’t feel forced. This was pure talent only for the fact that each new character they kept introducing it was engaging kept you on your toes. Season 4 made me cry a few times. I WOULD BE EXTREMELY HAPPY if they kept the show going. This is what the future looks like BOLD, FUN, ADVENTUROUS AND DIVERSE. Takes comedy shows to a whole new level!!! Whoever put the writing and sequencing together is a master mind. ALMOST ALL shows are predictable and each time a new episode came on from S1-S4 there’s always a plot twist the kind where you had no clue your mind could even go there. Great work with phenomenal performances. Must I say everyone was extremely good looking and WELL DRESSED. My hats off to the creators and actors. KEEP THE SHOW GOING!! 🎉 this is worth celebrating 🎉 S5!!

Apple TV has a good mix original content though I wish they had some licensed content to add more value to their subscription — they did have some licensed movies a year or so ago but nothing of late. I’m really a hardcore fan of sci-fi and their original sci-fi content is vast and superb. My favorite is the low budget DARK MATTER with its mind-bending storyline, and PLUR1BUS’ minimalist approach to the paranoia thriller. FOUNDATION’s first two seasons were just descent but season three was a revelation, and if you haven’t seen it, there’s nothing quite like it in terms of spectacle and production design on both television and the big screen. I have to emphasize how amazing the 4K HDR looks on FOUNDATION — it’s a master class in HDR implementation. There’s not much in terms of sports but F1 more than makes up for it with its amazing events coverage, and by far the best LIVE sports streaming experience on any platform, especially if you’re using the Apple TV 4K. Apple TV doesn’t have the reach of Netflix, Disney or HBO MAX, but it’s a premium experience at an affordable price. The kind of stuff you used to get from Netflix before their shareholders took priority over their consumer base.

The app is great except for a few annoying features. First, if you’re watching a series, the app doesn’t auto-play the next episode when the previous one finishes. I understand this is to save bandwidth for continuous streaming, but it would be nice to have it set by a timer or something else so that you don’t have to re-enter the app to manually choose to play the next episode when screen-casting to a larger device. Second, you have to re-select the captions for every single video. I have to re-start or rewind so many videos because I forget to reset the captions at the start of each one. If there is an option to automatically apply a captions setting preference it is not easy to find. Finally, the app shows a lot of series and movies that are not available on the app. I know they’re trying to encourage connecting other streaming apps to this one, but most of the suggested programs/movies are not available through the app. I don’t understand why they would promote more content from other apps than Apple’s original content (which has been really good, from what I’ve seen so far). Other than that, the app itself is easy to use and pretty intuitive. The picture is clear and it doesn’t freeze up or blitz out if you rewind or fast-forward a video.
