What is some of the early feedback? I've heard mixed opinions online.

I guess I didn't realize it launched.

I got a notice on my phone. There's a bunch of HBO content available for free without a subscription.

See sucks

For All Mankind is really good

Morning Show is worth a watch. It's starting to pick up steam.

I've watched the first few episodes of all the shows and was very underwhelmed and disappointed. The writing in particular seems bad.

Am I overlooking it somewhere? I'm just seeing a bunch of sample episodes here & there.

I just opened the Apple Tv app on my phone and scrolled down and it was there.

haven't tried it on Firestick or anything else.

I believe those with new Iphones get a free year subscription to it.

The highlight so far has been Emily Dickinson getting diddled by her future Sister-in-law. First episode of For all Mankind was ok. Glad it's only $4.99.

I checked out the Dickinson pilot, only because I'm currently writing a similar-ish character (headstrong teen girl) and was seeing if I could pick up any pointers, but I turned it off after 15 minutes. Thought it was terrible.

Watched a bit. It does not appear like they invested much into the content.

Which is bizarre because they have some big names signed.

I'm not too sure. But we bought the new 11 pro and 11 pro max day it came out. Both of those phones then got notifications of 1 free year subscription within this past week.

Humble brag I know.

I got the free year on my iPhone X that I've had since it's launch 2 years ago.

Also, it does't come with HBO. The AppleTV app can consolidate all your streaming. For instance mine shows all my HBO and Hulu shows.

Any way to consolidate only the shows and movies that come with the services I have instead of also having a ton of content that is basically pay per view? Annoying to see older movies that I'd be interested watching only to select it and see it's $4.99 through the Apple. Makes the tv app almost useless despite being a cool concept.

Yes, but it doesn't consolidate Netflix or Youtube TV, which are about the only two we use these days. If they ever get to that point to include more services, it will be golden for me.

Pretty obvious the heretic doesn't masturbate. The kids also have a small window of time to read those books

Hmm.. wife and I just got iPhone 11s 3 weeks ago.

But, we only paid $300 a piece outright for them (my humble brag). Maybe they left that promo off since we actually got a good deal on the phones.

The Morning Show has been worth my time. It's a mess for sure, but it's glossy looking, with an incredible cast, and disecting the mess has been fun. Aniston back on TV is more than a super welcome presence.

If it gets better, this is one that could have benefitted from the binge model. It got a bad rap for its first 3 released episodes, but I'd have plowed through it in a weekend to see if it reached its potential.

At this point, it looks like something on HBO, with the script quality of something in Showtime. But it's something I'd pony up $5 a month for.

Go to the tv app on your phone and it should offer you a free year.

We finished The Morning Show and enjoyed that one enough to get through the whole series in a few days. I was surprised there wasn't more discussion on here - It was much better than plenty of the Netflix shows that get dedicated threads. We're definitely looking forward to another season.

For All Mankind will be next up...looks the most interesting of what's left of their original content.

I've stuck to the

Hulu
Netflix
HBO Now

model for quite a while...

Hulu I get for free so just pay for those other two../I don't want prices to start creeping up like cable did and I realized "oh ****, my bill is $175 a month!"

No doubt - we actively drop services when we're not using them enough. Restart them when something comes out that looks intriguing. Love that we can turn them on/off with the current digital services' business model (for now). Depending on how For All Mankind goes, Apple might be getting $5 and $5 only out of our household until the next season of TMS comes out.

For the season as a whole, The Morning Show was one of the more entertaining shows I watched this year. Jennifer Aniston just went for it and put on a show- she was as good as any actress in a TV show of late. For someone who has been more famous for being famous than work for a couple decades now, she showed something here that was worth the time.

The show makes plenty of questionable choices and is definitely not perfect, but every episode was interesting and worth the watch.
