Colossal TV Show thread

The user experience is awful at this point, which is surprising coming from Apple.

This is also true. Tying into the existing "TV" app was a really dumb idea.

Apple people are the best.

If it happens on Apple+ it doesn't exist.
We have a free year on Apple plus. Compared to the other services we have, it sucks dick.
They have a couple decent shows. Their approach is also different from others where they seem to care more about original shows/quality over third party licensing and quantity. I'm not saying it's a great service, but I don't think comparing it to Netflix or Hulu is fair.

I'm talking more about the setup. I don't think it's user friendly what so ever.

I just don't think the Apple TV+ strategy is the same as Netflix or other major streaming platforms. The only exclusive third party license they bought was Peanuts and people immediately ***** about it. It's also a lower price than other services. This is coming off like I'm a huge fan of Apple TV+ and that's not the case at all. I watched their popular shows and haven't opened the app in a long time. I also wouldn't have watched anything if I didn't get it for free. But comparing it to huge platforms seems like a no-win situation for it.

I had no idea this was a thing.

Entire thing is terrible. Wouldn't work on a new Roku so I had to dig out one from 5 years ago to watch anything.

So the Ducks are the bad guys? I'm guessing the ending will be Bombay returning to the Ducks and changing the program back to being all about having fun and passing eggs and ****?

Bombay looking like he's fighting a raccoon for sleeping rights on the Zamboni.

The Man in the High Castle is a poorly written show.

Postby **Freddy Rumsen** » Thu Jan 28, 2021 7:44 pm

Yes. I've tried watching it several times with no success.

Very disappointing. Great premise, production design, just never gets going.

Postby **PFiDC** » Thu Jan 28, 2021 9:23 pm

My ex wife has been raving about that show. She also likes Blacklist so there's that...

Hmmmm

I didn’t make it more than a couple episodes. Was extremely excited for it when it was first released and it was just meh all the way around.

Is good?

Netflix won't stop recommending it to me. It's in almost every category I scroll. I'll give it a shot.

craziness! i loved that show. lol.
seriously, from your Deutschland perspective, did it come out as corny, or what about it did you not like? I thought it was slow at times but watchable all the way through.

Me and my daughter watched the original X-Men cartoon, X-men evolution and Wolverine and the X-Men over the past 2 months every night before bed. Now introducing her to Batman: TAS. She's all into this. I'm loving it.
