Of all the streaming services, Apple seems to be producing the best original content.

Apple is a lifestyle brand that makes some electronics and tv shows. It’s not like a billion dollars really matters to them when their AirPod sales alone make up the difference. Apple streaming is the one of the only subscriptions where I don’t feel ripped off too.

But very slowly. You can easily watch everything new in a month or two then drop it for four.

Fair enough. I’m down to pay a bit for consistent quality over mass quantity of crap. Netflix offers the quantity and Apple offers the quality for my fam.

We have a streaming service in the UK called NOW that have a lot of American shows like HBO and some Hulu stuff. I switch between the two.
