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

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.

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.
Just watched The Grand Tour Finale. I am a grown man balling my eyes out right now. I watched these guys for 22 years and they brought me so many laughs and adventures. Hard to find a trio with better chemistry than what these chaps showed on Top Gear and The Grand Tour. I will miss them immensely. At least there is still Clarksons Farm on Prime.

Not to give anything away but there was a moment in that special that connected all the way back to another one that made me tear up. Those three have always been a source of enjoyment and entertainment for me, and I'm not even much of a car person. I usually go through their specials at least once a year. I don't even know how many times I've seen both the older Africa specials and the Bolivia special now.
The Penguin is pretty damn good. The makeup on Farrell is incredible and he is so good. I really dig the feel of Matt Reeves' Batman universe.
