That's the problem tho. If there is a quality show, but not many of them, I'd be more inclined to sign up for a month, binge, then dump them until they have more. Little to justify being a full time sub.

100%, I'd treat all of the subscriptions as something you pick up, watch what you want, then drop again.

That was my plan as well but I just keep starting a new show. Severance S1 was flying completely under the radar when I started it. Now it's a global hit.

Honestly, there's so much now - so many really good, quality shows and not just 1 or 2 seasons. Love the limited series too - those really wrong foot me (every character is up for grabs) and the payoff often have been fabulous. I don't think anyone can justify saying there isn't enough on TV+ now...it's really picked up scope and speed.

I know it's not cool to support Apple these days, but I subscribe (Apple One play) because I want our money going to something that has value, not just the biggest. The biggest is often 90% slop.
