Apple TV+ spent $20B on original content. If only people actually watched. (arstechnica.com)

Reportedly high budget has brought Apple TV+ a lot of prestige, but not a lot of viewers.

I watch Apple TV shows more than any other service. I love SciFi and they have an excellent set of shows in that genre.

I can tell no one is watching though. The just cancelled Big Door Prize, which was really good.

Can you recommend some from their service?

I have quite a few of their shows already but I’m super into so-fi so I’ll take any recs I can get.

Yeah! I saw Severance and For All Mankind mentioned. I also like Silo, The Big Door Prize, Monarch, Foundation, and Sunny. There’s some others that I haven’t watched. I saw a lot of people mention Dark Matter.

Also Big Door Prize got canceled after season 2 so you might skip that. It leaves a lot of mysteries unanswered.

severance is one of the best shows anywhere in the last few years. For All Mankind is also really good.

See and Foundation are okay/watchable.

So it turns out I have all of those, but only briefly started for all mankind (wrong headspace for it at the time). So I’ll bump those all up my watch list, thanks!
