Hi.

Hope you’re doing well.

Been a subscriber to ATV+ for a while and, I know i’m not saying something new, but the image and streaming quality continues to blow me away, every time.

Regardless of when I’m watching a nature documentary or Slow Horses or Silo (my favorites), the level of detail you can see is amazing and it’s so crystal clear and true to life in a lot of its content and excellent use of HDR and in other content there is great use of colors and accuracy as tje filmmaker intended.

So, just wanted to share my enjoyment for ATV+ and the only thing I’d consider a downside is the size of the library, but there’s always something interesting to watch for me.

It's not unusual for Apple TV+ to not promote its content, but there are 13 days left until Prime Target premieres and we don't have a trailer or poster.

The little interest they put into some series always ends in cancellation, I remember that we didn't have the official poster for Sunny until about 6 hours after its first episodes were released.

Currently watching season 1 of Severance with my girlfriend - I've seen it before but she hasn't. Last night when watching they autoplayed the trailer for season 2 before episode 4! Luckily she wasn't quite paying attention yet and I managed to skip it before she got spoiled, but it's pretty crazy that it's possible for that to happen, especially because that trailer has a lot of big plot spoilers in it. I know it's possible to come across a trailer in the wild and get spoiled accidentally that way, but I can't believe that Apple allowed it to play on episodes of the same show. The only possible reason I can think of is that we were watching on my account which has watched all of Severance before, but even still surely they would prevent it just in case.

So just a warning to the community if you're watching with someone who hasn't seen it, be ready on that skip button!

Playstation and TV+ are regularly offering 3 months extended trial for new and qualified returning subscribers. Current offer ends January 27, 2025

According to episode 2 of ‘The Severance Podcast’ Apple initially thought that Adam Scott wasn’t fit for the part of Mark S. Who could they have thought was right for the part? Could you imagine someone else being Mark S.?

This information belongs to one of the Apple TV+ fan profiles (@TVPlusUpdates) on X (Twitter).

Apple TV+ has failed to win as many awards over the last 12 months as it did earlier in its life.

The lack of any award wins at today's Golden Globes (see: https://deadline.com/2025/01/golden-globes-2025-winners-list-1236246217/ ) and the lacklustre performance of their recent film slate is perhaps an indicator of a change of focus or is it simply a lack of or poor awards campaigning?

Thoughts?

Personally I feel that though there is still some great content coming out but, as always, Apple's inability to properly market shows to a broader mainstream audience also impacts on both their subscriptions and awards success.

Lots of good stuff like Masters of the Air miniseries and Greyhound movie. I wonder if Apple will do it again in the future like HBO, NBA, NHL, etc. do for USA's cable and satellite TV services. I might subscribe later on. I need a break though after >10.5 hrs. since Fri. night to last night while sick with a nasty Norovirus from (happy?) New Year's Day Eve(ning). :/
