GwiDan Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I’ve been watching the morning show, and have caught up to date with it. After going in with very low expectations from the reviews, I’ve actually found it to be very compelling viewing. As mentioned above, Billy Crudup is great in it!

JohnC Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Servant is being hit with a copyright suit. The maker of a 2013 Sundance film, The Truth About Emanuel, says Servant copied way too much from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Runner Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Finished up Servant on Friday. The ending was a little disappointing but when they announced a second season I was kind of expecting that. Overall it was really good, the visuals and the atmosphere in particular.

ZOK Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I just saw an advert for a Spike Jonze Beasties doc on this service which prompted me to activate my free one year sub...anyone seen it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have. Definitely worth a watch, but it spends a lot of time on the early years, then races through the last 20 at supersonic speed at the end. Felt like it needed to be at least 3 times as long to cover everything properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZOK Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Okay great...can’t say I’ve much interest in the last twenty years anyway, so it sounds like I’ll enjoy it, cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 The actual app for this is mind boggingly terrible. It's ordered awfully and you have little control of whatever you are watching. It reminds me of the crap iplayer app. Also, shows take an age to download compared to all the other services I use. Are there any movies on it? That said, Servant was utterly brilliant. Does For All Mankind get any better? I got about 40 minutes into the first episode and fell asleep it was so boring. I'm not a fan of Momoa's "acting" so didn't bother with See. I downloaded the first episode of the Cris Evans show, but only knew of its existence because of a telly ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZOK Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I loved that Beasties doc! Well worth the free sub. The app does seem very hard to navigate, I wasn’t really sure how to look at just Apple+ stuff. Speed seemed fine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I have a year of this with my phone but my tv isn’t getting the app until ‘later this year’. I assume I can sign up at the latest point (around 80 days after I activate) on my phone and then use whatever is left of my free year at the point I get the app? Also, is it shit?

ckny Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I’ll answer my own question, we watched the first two episodes tonight and loved it. Got strong ‘The Killing’ vibes from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravity0 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Yeah we're enjoying it too. Still have the latest episode to watch. I like how they're uploading episodes once a week. I especially like how everyone in it owns an iPhone except for one dodgy looking geezer who's on Android. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazjam Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Did the free trial to watch The Beastie Boys story, but ended up getting a sub as both The Morning Show and The Servant are excellent. Had pretty low expectations for both but have been very pleasantly surprised. Will try Defending Jacob next. Getting much more use out of this than I am with Disney+. Just wish it had a PS4 app. Would love to watch these with my wife, but only have access through my iPad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Lemon Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I’ve been watching Home. Every episode is fascinating and beautifully shot but I am mostly envious of the Maine family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hub2 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Mythic Quest is actually decent, and there are two episodes which actually elevate the series to being greater than the sum of its parts, so worth watching the entire (short) series. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigawatt Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I assume the Quarantine episode is one of those, just wondering which other episode was a highlight for you? I really liked the whole series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hub2 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Spoiler Bottle episode about the developer that preceded the Mythic Quest team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vespa Alex Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Yep, had the email. I’d be quite surprised if you don’t get a free year with each new hardware purchase in future. I know they said not initially, then decided that they would review this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gospvg Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Not quite sure how but I just got an email giving me a year free of Apple TV. Couple of questions what is the must watch shows? Is it just shows or do they have films? How can I watch it on the TV, just checked on the Samsung App store and no TV app, there is also no PS4 app. Can I use chromecast?

monsly Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 PS4 and PS5 app coming soon apparently - looking like around the PS5 launch. Did you get any Apple products recently? I got a year when I bought my new phone last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Rocks came out which stars Bill Murray and Rashida Jones. Plus, Wolfwalkers comes out in December and that looks amazing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gospvg Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Annoyingly Chromecast is not supported. Only option is to log in on the PC and cast from Chrome Browser. Shame I did not pick up a fire TV stick in the recent amazon prime day deals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got it for a year so hopefully more shows/films will get added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
