The New Look had lots of issues, and this looks like it will rectify many of them.

I imagine they mean that they have given fashion the prominence they promised to give it with The New Look. TNL was basically a story about the Holocaust.

Did Apple ever renew The New Look or are we still awaiting news on its fate? I did really enjoy the show but it seemed to pass without much fanfare and missed in awards season.

This show is fun if you liked Succession , its major plot point is a family dynasty of back stabbing billionaires, trying to stay current in a challenging fast pasted industry, fashion. You don’t get Logan Roy screaming instead the head of the family is a still beautiful Carole Bouguet who is far too elegant and French to scream, although she schemes as well as Brian Cox can. Many beautiful shots of Paris, fun fashion, keep this moving . Very much under exposed by the network genius’s running this platform.

I loved it. It’s very much my thing and the reviews are good. Unfortunately, almost no one knows about this show. Dr. Brain, Tehran, Drops of God, Women in Blue and La Maison are very good international originals that suffer from poor marketing, even by Apple TV’s standards. Pachinko and Acapulco are in foreign languages, but they are American productions.
I’ve been talking a lot about the importance of long-running shows becoming tentpoles and receiving a lot of marketing to attract and retain subscribers. A strong lineup in Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean and Hindi, maintaining at least 1 long-running show (multiple seasons) and at least 1 limited series per year will help Apple TV’s international growth. To be fair, in the next few weeks they have Midnight Family (Spanish), Where’s Wanda? (German) and Tú también lo harías (Spanish), and coming soon are Careme (French), Krank Berlin (German) and A L’ombre des Forêts (French).
Apple has a deal with France’s popular Canal+ to offer TV+ and they just signed with a major Indian cable and phone company that will also offer TV+ and Music to millions of Indian customers. Here in Brazil they are in a new bundle from the largest communications company (Claro). Obviously Apple gets paid per user (less than the subscription alone), but it's more money in places where they weren't popular anyway. With this deal in India, Apple TV+ should play the PR game and say it has surpassed 100 million subscribers. That's about 70-80 million eligible customers for the India company.

Tehran is an excellent show. Just stop after season 1. The premise just drags on after that.

Yes I’d love to know more about the locations, and where is the amazing building that is the Roval headquarters?

where is the amazing building that is the Roval headquarters?
It is actually Renault, the car company on an island in the Seine.

I replied but it was not a direct reply. Hope you can see this. The island estate is in Brittany. It is called Château de Costaérès.

La Maison feels like the soapy Dynasty that instead of having female Alexis, we have a male one as fashion designer.
