- Thread starter BAD

Snoopy is short. My kids wish there was more.
Ghostwritters is excellent children's programming. It's put together by the same people that do Dino Dan, Dino Dana and Treks's Adventures.
"See" Has a really weird 80s vibe to it. It reminds me heavily of Willow. I like it.
"For All Mankind" is excellent.
"Elephant Queen" is also excellent.
I've been watching on my 4K AppleTV. This is some of the best looking content I've ever put on my TV.

Well what do you know. The professional reviewers got it wrong... AGAIN
The morning show and For all mankind are very good. Critics drunk again

So I knew that this worked across family devices but I thought I had to have a subscription as the organiser in our family group. But my wife got an 11 Pro and activated her free year and I have access to it as well. Cool!
I don't care for Aniston and was ready to hate it. I watched the first episode and thought it was very good.
Thanks! Guess I will wait until some more episodes are out.
I'm liking The Morning Show way more than reviewers it would seem.
Also, all the lice action shows I have watched look incredible with Dolby Vision - better than Netflix shows with Dolby Vision apart from maybe Altered Carbon. Some really phenomenal use of color correction and contrast - you can tell Apple put a premium on getting that part right. These shows are really good 4K set showcases.

The acting on See in general is hammy, like they're in on a joke that I'm not getting (unless the joke is "look at what we're getting away with on Apple's curated and official streaming surface, ha-HAH!" - I would believe it if that were the sentiment on some of the writing and acting choices).
For all mankind had a 88% (or something similar)on rotten tomatoes, maybe you were thinking of a different show?
So I am debating getting an Apple 4K TV because I've liked what I've seen on my phone so far. I have a LG C8 so sadly no app or airplay to watch.
I am curious how Apple determined which devices to focus on that would get the app. I think if they really wanted this to succeed they would have it on as many devices as they could. Not everyone is going to be a sucker life me, lol.

A shitload of Vizios are getting Airplay support patched in (a lot of models going back to 2016 or so), so it may have been more up to TV manufacturers than Apple.
Yeah... it is weird the 2019 LGs are getting it but not the 2018 models. But I see no reason LG would stop Apple from making an app...
Nope. Roku is also an option but some of the integration features of the Apple 4K sound appealing, enough to spend the extra money.
I've enjoyed the four major releases that I've watched so far. Seems like Anistons famous nipples made the transition from Friends to this show. Steinfeld is great in Dickinson, which is simply a fun show. The space show is very well made. See is incredibly stupid yet also fun. I get the impression Morning Show will only get better and See might become so stupid it's unwatchable. But for being free for a year, I can't really argue with any of it.
I just wish the app wasn't stupid. My parents called me to complain that most of the shows they click on are asking them to buy or rent them. Why Apple insists on mixing non Apple Plus shows in is beyond me, but I bet more than my parents are getting frustrated with it.

Yeah the app shows all content that is available I guess to watch / buy. I find it best just to go to discover channel or whatever and just click directly on the Apple TV+ channel just so you see that channel's content.
Pretty sure that's completely up to the TV manufacturers. It's them who will eventually profit from people buying new sets because they're neglecting their older models – Apples only going to lose out as you said.
Regarding discoverability, all ATV+ shows have a fat badge, there's a tile dedicated to it and it has its own channel. I think what's more confusing is the name, since people probably expect the "Apple TV" app represents the whole subscription catalogue (which is ridiculous given there are the latest movies and stuff on display, but eh).
Decided to watch something as I was bored in my hotel room and have a free year of Apple TV. I have Netflix but never watch anything on it but an occasional episode of The Office or Friends.
Decided to watch The Morning Show and wow.... the acting is really really fucking good. Loving it. Will continue watching.

Watched all 3 eps of The Morning Show and I actually think it's a lot better than the reviews. Wonder what the consensus would have been if this didn't have an Apple logo up front.
The first episode is has some terribly overwritten dialogue (as do 2/3) but it gets much better after episode 1 and I'm quite looking forward to next weeks episode.

The 1 year free deal comes when you buy any brand new qualifying Apple product. I think it's a Mac, iPhone, iPad or Apple TV HD or 4K unit. I bought the iPhone 11 Pro Max so that's how I got my free 1 year.
To activate it you go into the TV app on your device.
I got an TV 4K last month and the quality is lovely. I used to have the HD version for about 3 years but just traded in for the 4K unit.
It's not that bad. It's okay and worth watching. Of course, it's Apple product placement City. The iPhones and Macs are everywhere in this. But the first three episodes are up so give them a watch.
One thing though, it looks fantastic and I don't know what it is. I'm watching in 4K HDR and there is just something so vibrant and colourful about the way the entire show looks.
Thanks, I bought an iMac 2 weeks ago but I'm not seeing the offer, I'll contact support.
Ok, so as someone who doesn't have any Apple Devices and doesn't plan to get any, can I watch this anywhere else? I heard Samsung TVs have an App, are there any other devices or am I just shit out of luck if I refuse to watch TV in a browser?
Because the price is good enough to at least check it out, even if the content is barebones right now.

Amazon Fire TV and Roku as well as some other TV manufacturers.
I haven't checked on a Mac but is there an TV app on Mac? Or in the Mac App Store?
For the Airplay feature, yes, absolutely that is on TV manufacturers but for an app like there is on Roku that is on Apple to make. No app for the game consoles is weird. I highly doubt Sony or Microsoft would say no to yet another tv app.
The app being on limited devices is very much on Apple. And it's weird because Apple had the time and money to have an app for every possible device for launch, we've known about this coming for a long time now.
Either way, I have options which I'm considering, I just think if Apple really want this to succeed they should make the service more available. And so far I've liked what I've watched so I do want them to succeed.
Yes, I have also logged out and back in, tried with safari and chrome.
Can someone let me know if you can download shows and movies from this app for offline viewing on a Windows pc?
Not 100% sure but I don't think so. As the only way to watch (I think) on a Windows PC is in the browser.
I hope they have a bunch of 30 minute comedies in the works to go along with the more heavy stuff. Dickinson isn't great, but it's fun and interesting at least. The stuff being added at the end of November/early Dec looks really really heavy though.
That seems correct. I just looked at iTunes on my Windows computer and the iTunes store on there doesn't even have the Apple TV+ shows
That sucks. Atleast you can download purchased/rental movies with the iTunes app if you're like me and can't stream with acceptable quality. Thanks
First episode of See was alright, but I feel like it's really ramping up well in the second episode. Pretty stoked to watch the 3rd episode tonight.
Also, wow, the visuals and sound in the show are incredible.
