Always felt that Netflix machine gun sprays their content into oblivion to see where it lands, which gives me decision paralysis. I just started using Apple TV+ two weeks ago and wow, it’s so refreshing to see how curating high quality content makes it easier for me to consume media.
Agreed! Most of the stuff on Netflix is crap. AppleTV has much better content.
It doesn’t make a compelling argument when it comes to keeping a subscription all year long. I subscribe to Apple for about 3 month a year and then cancel
Subscribe to it for a couple months, watch everything there is worth watching, and then drop it for a year. Rinse, repeat.
They need a banger of a show so they can at least have one where EVERYONE is talking about it such as HBO had with Game of Thrones or Netflix with Stranger Things. I’m hoping they can pull something off so they can get more subscribers and in return put more money into getting better directors. It would be sick if they could convince Tarantino to make a series after his last film. Maybe a Kill Bill series would get everyone going nuts. Will it happen? Probably not.
Netflix has declined for me in terms of the number of original shows I am interested in watching. Apple has certainly produced better shows of late.
With that said, Netflix does have more new additional movies and non-English content worth watching. They also release all episodes at once. I might spend time scrolling through Netflix to decide what I want to watch, but with Apple I watch their top shows that I am interested in and that’s it (I am not going to watch all the shows that they come up with). There can be long stretches of time where there really isn’t anything to watch. Like recently, Servant ended. Ted Lasso ended, Silo season finished, Platonic finished and Morning Show’s recent season hasn’t come out yet and there want really anything I was interested in watching. But even then say I should watch 1-3 other shows then what?
