Apple+ focuses on quality over quantity. It's worth it for Silo, Foundation, and Constellation alone, but there is lots of other good stuff too. Napoleon with Joaquin Phoenix is on my watch list. Heard good things about "For All Mankind". Almost forgot about Severance, a fantastic show! $10 per month is a bargain IMO.

 

Seconded on all of those! After four seasons, For All Mankind has cemented itself as one of the all-time sci-fi TV greats in my mind. 

 

@Veum if you agree to give For All Mankind a shot I'll pay for your first month of Apple TV+

Wow, that's a bold take.  

I loved it and had high hopes during the first season, then Karen decided to be a member of MILF manor, and I was afraid it would descend in to melodrama and gave up.  And, Sarah Jones . . . well, she is just . . . impressive.

But, now . . . . I have to revisit.  Thanks for the push.

I loved it though the third season didn’t quite gel for me.   Fourth season was better.

Thank you for naming all of them, noted on the list.

 

I have started The 3 Body Problem, it is necessary to watch several episodes to get a clear opinion

Will be curious to hear your opinion on this one, it sounds like a fascinating story

I finished watching the first season.

 

 

Mixed feelings. The proposal is very interesting and very ambitious; It has certain moments or scenes that are quite memorable; The casting is up to par.

 

I would also say that since it is so ambitious, after a few chapters, the intensity of the chapters decreases as the plot is revealed. Also certain characters end up losing interests compared to others.

 

In general, I don't regret having seen it (which happened to me with the last season of Game of Thrones) and I would be willing to continue with a second season, which I imagine will happen in the future
