Anyone watching the Chimp Crazy documentary? It's absolutely wild. Final episode airs on Sunday night.

Just started Slow Horses on AppleTV+ and it’s fantastic. A fourth season starts this week as well.

Nothing about the Ads has gotten me to watch it. Why do you like it?

I don’t have Apple TV, but this is one of the shows making me consider it. (For all Mankind is the other).

AppleTV actually has a lot of strong shows, imo. To add to these 2 there are:

Silo
Severance
Foundation
Ted Lasso
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters
Mythic Quest
The Afterparty

There are more that I found “ok” but I’m pretty willing to vouch for all of these as a fun time. I do enjoy For All Mankind, even if it’s a little pulpy at times. The Afterparty is probably my favorite, for me it’s lots of laughs.

I'm a bit Apple TV fan too, M Nights Servant was fantastic and a must watch to me if you like horror. It wrapped up really well too.

I mostly like M Night stuff so it’s on my list of “to watch” but haven’t done so yet.

Any of you Apple
Guys try Bad Monkey, Instigators or Presumed Innocent?

One of my favorite podcasts was raving about it so I gave it a shot and it’s great! A group of Mi5 agents who are all screw ups get put in one office together and as much as the main office wants nothing to do with them, they keep getting dragged into cases. Gary Oldman is fun as the leader with a flatulence problem.

I haven’t started Bad Monkey but it’s next. I might wait until all episodes are up.

Big fan of FAM. If you’re an Apple/iPhone user, should be able to get a 30 or 90 day trial depending on your device I think. I get my subscription for free through T-Mobile.

Like @Devils731 said, they have a good amount of great shows. Unlike Netflix that spends a lot of money on crap, Apple puts out less content but overall better quality.

Some of my favs:
Slow Horses
Trying
Acapulco
Loot
Severance
For All Mankind
Ted Lasso
Mythic Quest
Monarch

They also have some great documentaries like The Beastie Boys, Michael J. Fox’s Still, Steve Martin’s doc to name a few.

R.I.P. James Earl Jones, he was 93. I saw him do a few Broadway shows over the past like 13 years or so. Amazing he could still perform so well at the age he was.

Very cool tribute here...

Man he was such an amazing actor. Such great presence and amazing voice.

Damn, that’s like my whole childhood gone: Darth Vader, Mufasa, and Mr Myrtle from the Sandlot. Very sad to see him go.

He was an EGOT winner for those who folllow such things.
