First season - nothing much at all. It has a British crime show sensibility - more about curmudgeonly, clever personalities and “who can you trust in gov” than about violence.
There is some. I think season 2 mainly. It can get a little nasty, but spy stuff, not depraved like Game of Thrones or The Boys.
Since the discussion went there, one of my favorite shows on Apple TV+ is "For All Mankind". I didn't think it could hold my interest for 4 seasons - but it has. Really good show in my opinion. Alternative history fiction at it's finest.
Oh I just started it (episode 4 I think) Don’t know why it took me this long, I love Ron D. Moore’s stuff, but just kept putting it off
I second this one. Tehran is another interesting show. Also Mosquito Coast. And whoever initially suggested Presumed Innocent, thank you. My wife and I are enjoying it.
Did anyone actually watch the MLS Cup Final on Apple TV? According to Nielsen, the impact of MLS Cup on Apple TV viewership was negligible leading us to ask whether anyone actually watched. https://awfulannouncing.com/soccer/did-anyone-actually-watch-the-mls-cup-final-on-apple-tv.html Updating the conversation after 2 full seasons of it. I will say I did watch the final on Apple for 2 reasons. 1: Joe Tutino option, and 2, I'll give Apple credit so far, they haven't "blocked" screenshots lol. I can't watch feeds on Foxsports or Youtube TV because it blocks my computer from taking screenshots (the feed goes straight black). on Apple TV's website feed it doesn't, and I love taking in-feed screenshots of the stats and player shots sometimes.
I always watch on Apple TV+ for the same reason, the home announcer audio option. I also like the catch up option when I am starting a game late. I wonder how Neilson accounts for the Apple allowed sharing of accounts in calculating viewership. Or people watching on bootleg streams.
Thanks for the reminder! I got the t-mobile season pass freebie in 2023, but paid regular fee in 2024 and was recently auto-renewed at $99 for 2025. But, according to my t-mobile app, after redeeming this years free offer I will get a refund for the already-paid $99 fee for 2025. Let’s hope that happens. I think it worked when I was in the same situation in 2023.
Does anyone know if Apple allows the free T-Mobile version of MLS Season Pass to be shared with Apple's Family members? I have the paid annual Apple and MLS subscriptions and share those with my two adult daughters.
My impression is that the t-mobile free version is the same as the paid version, but don’t quote me on that.
yes, you can share up to six family members https://sports.yahoo.com/t-mobile-giving-away-free-171428866.html
also of note, Apple finally released an app for Android phones, so people with Android phones can now watch on the go https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apple.atve.androidtv.appletv&hl=en_US
adding this here for some that may want a different option to Apple TV streaming, MLS is also offering MLS Season Pass to DirecTV/Stream users and Comcast/Xfinity customers and there is a free preview for this weekend https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/majo...son-pass-on-apple-tv-for-historic-30th-season
Good news or bad news depending on your current subscriptions. Next season there’s no standalone MLS package on AppleTV. Now you’ll just pay the regular monthly fee. Good news if you already subscribed, bad news if you only bought the MLS package (effectively you’re going be paying ~$6 more per month).
thank you for the heads up diving into this a bit more here is a link that provides a bit more info https://awfulannouncing.com/mls/apple-scrap-season-pass-games-available-all-subscribers.html I think it makes sense for Apple to remove the standalone, if they can get a handful of non fans to become fans its a win and probably also cuts down on cost not having to run a standalone service. the season ticket holders, will now -get a complimentary subscription to AppleTV instead of just MLS Season Pass, so I think its a win for them, and especially for those that enjoy Formula One, you can also now watch via this subscription for the rest of us, to early to tell if it benefits us in anyway, closer to the season we will see how it all pans out
just to dig back up the Apple TV television talk, I've since watched Slow Horses and I'd say it's an ok show made brilliant by Gary Oldman. He is incredible. Also, I watched the first two available episodes of Plur1bas (new show from creator of Breaking Bad and Better Caul Saul) and it was f'n brilliant! That guy (Vincent Gilligan) is a genius and so talented.
The better news is getting Apple TV generally as part of your season ticket package. That gives you something for free you weren't getting before, which makes up for the other ways season ticket holders are kind of taken for granted by the Galaxy.
I've been reading the Slough House books before the series started and the casting director absolutely nailed the casting of Oldman as Jackson Lamb and did a good job with Lady Di and Standish, and went mid with River, Luisa and Flyte and completely missed with Roddy Ho. I loved Breaking Bad but had a hard time locking into Better Call Saul but thats more a Me problem, I will have to take a look at Plur1bas
Vincent Gilligan was involved in (I think the second half of) the tv show "X-Files" and this new show is, so far, a bit of a revisitation of that genre. But in the best way possible.
