Apple TV - is it worth it?

[StrangerOnline]

I’m jealous of a poster on another thread watching Ted Lasso … heard good things about it for ages and really want to see it!

So I’m thinking about getting Apple TV specially - what else is on it though? any other recommendations, is it worth subscribing for one show? (Money is really tight)

Am I just tempted because I’ve had a glass of wine and really want to see Ted Lasso?
what else do you watch on it please?

Blackbird was absolutely brilliant

Everything I’ve watched on Apple TV has been great, I just use the app on my sky box. I only got it because I got a free trial when it launched but now pay for it.

For drama check out For All Mankind (alternate history is Russia won the space race), and for comedy The Afterparty or Mythic Quest are both excellent.

Ted Lasso starts slow but a few episodes in you will find yourself in love with it, without even realising.

I've watched about half of the Apple Originals, Blackbird, Ted Lasso, Physical, Bad Sisters, surface, Defending Jacob.... all were very absorbing! I'm not sure what's next. Maybe new series of some of the above?

Severance is excellent.

Oh and also Trying and The Morning Show. Might watch Ray and Raymond next...or Severance.

We had a subscription for a year (that we got free with a phone) and the series that we watched on there were absolutely brilliant. The subscription has stopped now but we might go back to it once we've caught up with the current stuff we're watching on Netflix/All4/iPlayer etc.

It was a while ago so I haven't heard of some shows that PPs have mentioned but The Morning Show was brilliant.

Ted Lasso, See, For All Mankind, Bad Sisters, Slow Horses, BlackBird, Tehran, Severance, are some I’ve really enjoyed. Didn’t particularly enjoy Dune or The Morning Show.
I bought an iPad last year, got 12 free months of Apple TV, and have kept the subscription on, I feel it’s well worth £5 per month.

Thank you for the recommendations, look forward to checking them out

I don't think so. I got a free subscription but honestly wouldn't pay money for it.

Loved Ted Lasso. I am going to watch some of the other programmes recommended on here now 🙌🏻

It is the best streamer for good series, everything I started on Apple I finished, whereas on Netflix I give up after a couple of episodes

Essex Serpent was very good too

Worth it just for Ted Lasso.

I got a free subscription with a new phone for 12 months and cancelled it as soon as it ran out. What's on there is excellent quality, but sparse if you see what I mean.

I'd get it for a month, then binge watch everything then cancel it. It's what I'm going to do when all the next Ted Lasso series is out.

I came on here specifically to say Ted Lasso!! Get it for a few months, watch whatever you can and then cancel. It’s what I do with all mum subscriptions. Rotate them around while I binge watch each series. Enjoy!

My not mum ffs!
