Does anyone have Apple Streaming?  Better Shows and no advertisements. Palm Royal, Sugar, Bad Monkey with Vince Vaughn, all very good.  Can not find anything good lately on Netflix and Amazon now has commercials. Can not wait for Paramount Plus to return Taylor Sheridan shows next month.

Presumed Innocent was very good on Apple.

I got it, specifically for Slow Horses, since Mick Herron is one of my favorite authors and the series is terrific.  However, I personally don't find that much on it that I like.  I enjoyed Ted Lasso, the Morning Show, Severance and Lessons in Chemistry.  Currently watching Bad Monkey, the Lady in the Lake,  and Time Bandits.  I did not like Presumed Innocent and preferred the original movie. Palm Royale and Sugar I could take or leave.   I find it expensive for the little I watch it and probably will cancel it after they finish the Slow Horses series unless they come up with something new that I like. 

You know Netflix is adding commercials too now, unless you pay considerably more.

Funny because I find myself watching less and less Apple TV to the point I have to remind myself that I have it.

 

Commericals with streaming services don't bother me. It's not like 4 or 5 minute network series of commericals. Most are 90 sec. or less. Just enough time to quickly do something. 

Right now I'm trying to watch some of the shows with Emmy nominations.

I just bought a new iPad and got Apple TV free for 3 months.  We had it before when my husband got a new iPad.  It's nice to have some new things to watch, but I can't imagine keeping it beyond the three months.  We tried to watch Bad Monkeys but couldn't make it through the first episode.  Everyone has different tastes, though.  We thought Presumed Innocent was good.  I'm currently loving The Morning Show.  I love it so much that when the fourth season completely drops, I will get Apple TV again just to watch the new season.  Watched Killers of the Flower Moon and gave it a three out of five stars at best.  There was no suspense, thrill, or anything.  You knew who did it from the start, and the movie just plodded along.  I've been to Pawhuska where it was filmed and enjoy history, so I liked the movie better than my husband did.  We have Napoleon on our radar to watch, but I have not heard good things about it.  I've got a few other things saved to watch, which I'm sure I'll get through before our free promotion expires.

I like many that have already been listed but I also liked "Bad Sisters" which is a mystery comedy.  Season 2 starts soon. I liked a small little British comedy called "Trying."

I forgot about Bad Sisters - that indeed was good, and I also forgot to mention The New Look, which turned out to be better than I expected.   I will check out Trying, thanks for that.

Bad Sisters, For All Mankind, The Last Thing He Told Me, The Morning Show and many more.  All excellent on Apple.

Ted Lasso, Slow Horses, Presumed Innocent. But other than that we don't really watch it.

@meem120   I also watched For All Mankind and enjoyed it.  I think the first 2 seasons were actually the best.
