Many subscribers have a problem getting Apple TV+ programs to launch. You’ll get a preview of another program and when it’s done, the show you were trying to watch won’t start, just a black box. It’s been happening on all devices: TVs, tablets, iPhones. Apple doesn’t seem interested in fixing it.
Wonder if this is gonna be a “just America” thing tho - wouldn’t be a first for streaming platforms or shows to say “everyone can watch” and shrugging when folks from RoW go “wtf”
Yea it was fun and there were some good world building moments but I laughed out loud when the 1000 or so Joel Edgertons start a chat room and then all show up at the end to say goodbye.
Yea and it's a friggin infinite multiverse. Y'all can't figure out how to find doors to ones where she's single? Or maybe since you're the most brilliant physicist ever maybe put your heads together and like fix the universe.
Remembering when DVR/Tivo came out, we noted when the HBO free previews etc were available so we could bank all the good movies. My wife or I would scroll for an hour through all the iterations on the guide setting up the whole weekend of recordings.
Which I’m sure you need to sign up for and if don’t cancel are automatically enrolled as a subscriber and make you have to jump through hoops to cancel.
How many episodes of Silo are there? I watched the first two (possibly 3) on a long haul flight in the summer. Can I manage to binge watch the rest in one weekend?
Apple Inc. and all their properties have been banished from this household since day one. They're never getting in. Ask again perhaps sometime around 2059. This is non-negotiable.
Maybe if Apple made it easier to access w/o a charge card on file, they would have a huge audience. My “Everything Apple” gift card would not allow Apple TV.
Severance if you like dark, Ted Lasso if you like feel good. Slow horses if you like spies. For Sci Fi there are so many options it’s hard to pick. Most people say Silo but I haven’t tuned into that yet.
My top shows are Severance, Shrinking, Silo, Morning Show, Loot and Palm Royale. Also, the limited series Before and Presumed Innocent. They have the best shows.
It’s kind of fun to read the hate Apple gets from frothing-at-the-mouth, diehard never-Apple posers on social media. It’s part of their online identity.
I know the regular service doesn’t currently have ads. I have subscribed in past (currently not subscribing to anything at all, I’m so sick of these services). I just wondered if this free period will be different from that base service.
No, but you do need to create an Apple ID. It's not as smooth as on an Apple device, but I got it on my Roku TV. I think you have to do some 2FA-type crap (iirc.)
Foundation, Severance, Silo, Surface, Ted Lasso, Before, Disclaimer,
The Morning Show, Presumed Innocent, Dark Matter, Sugar, The Tragedy of MacBeth, The Crowded Room.
Comments
If you like interesting, future dystopia, Silo is a great watch + messaging.
SEE is also great here, but more action vs commentary.
Other high reccs - Shrinking, For All Mankind, & Foundation
I’ll keep watching but…
Silo
Invasion
Slow Horses
Truth Be Told
Foundation
The only problem with watching it during the free weekend is you will find it very hard to resist subbing to watch S2
Which is the whole idea of this free weekend
🤩🎉👍😍

Also, Bad Monkey is pretty great
There’s nothing in between…
So only at midnight for a split second?
Shrinking is currently my favorite show and I liked Dark Matter, too.
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!
Slow Horses

That nobody cares sbout pedantics if posting, but do care how long they get free stuff?
Silo is a must. Tight script. Great performances.
For me, the other shows mentioned range from ok to meh to wanting to throw the tv across the room.
I can’t wait to watch……well…what shows are on Apple+?
I guess they just adjust for local time, start at midnight and end at midnight.
Many other good ones on it.
But really you should be watching Shrinking. Phenomenal show especially for Scrubs fans. On god the best Harrison Ford has been in a decade.
Severance
Slow Horses
Bad Sisters
Criminal Record
Silo
Also, get's new data from every, new subscriber. They're not slick.
Happy New Year. 💖
Wouldn’t you know, I have reading scheduled for those days.

though i had one BIG disappointment w a S3 subplot tie-up.
So that's us plebs left out in the cold, then.
I'm sure there's some nice logistics firm out there in need of your actual talents.
But yes, Shrinking and Silo are musts as well.
The Changeling
Severance
The Morning Show
Changeling doesn't start slow but S1 ends in a cliffhanger and a S2 has not been announced.
The latter start slow but finish extremely strong
The sisters themselves and Houlihan and even Angelica. All rides, no wagons ☘️
is one of those #appletv+ originals
Terrific series! #JoelEdgerton stars
#FreeWeekend #Jan4 #Jan5
The Morning Show, Presumed Innocent, Dark Matter, Sugar, The Tragedy of MacBeth, The Crowded Room.
