Glad I’m not the only one who felt that way.

Did you get into it straight away or did it take a few episodes (and if so, how many)?

I definitely don’t think slow is boring. I’ve watched many shows in the past which have been slow but ended up being amazing. I just don’t want to watch Mindhunter if the plot isn’t going to get any more interesting.

That actually sounds wonderful. I assume it holds true for this first season as well, it has satisfying conclusion?

Yeah cause I don’t represent apple, why would I care what device he chooses. Just get something besides your tv’s built in software. Nvidia shield, fireTV, appleTV… they all work.

It reminded me of Condor but just nowhere as good.

It’s not even sad anymore, I don’t know what it is. I’d rather AMC keep repeating marathons of The Godfather 1&2 and Goodfellas over and over. MUCH less embarrassing.

True, but you asked OP:
>If you’ve been dealing with it for at least a year and a half wouldn’t it be worth it to invest in some real hardware?
You aren't specifically telling OP to buy an AppleTV.

This is the reason I never finished Parenthood. That show made me emotional every episode, I can only imagine what a finale episode would do.

Yep I think it’s unfair to compare the two seasons. s2 as a stand-alone would be fine. Not great but fine.

That's my impression. The lack of hype for season 3 suggests that people bailed on the show after season 2. It didn't help that season 3 came out four years later thus squandering whatever hype True Detective still had.

show retains the same slow paced style to the end so you will be better watching something else

BBC News is most of the time more balanced than the majority of other News Outlets. However, when there are elections or a "Non-Binding" Referendum coming up, they are wildly pro Tory.

Its such a good show and one of the many that Netflix canceled thus leading to me to cancel their service.

Reply to Apple TV's subtitles are awful. by cmrdgkr
I have Apple TV+ for two weeks now, but can't tell yet if the subtitles in my language are that bad or not. I'll have to watch more episodes and more TV shows to check that out.
We share the "broken" subtitles issue, though, and we're not alone. A quick search on the internet will prove it and usually it's because the user is not using an Apple product to watch their streaming service. That's right, Apple TV+ streaming service has issues in non-Apple products!
I can only watch Apple TV+ in a computer's browser, because their Windows app is only available for Windows 11 users and I'm a Windows 10 user. Their android app doesn't appear in my android box play store, nor in my smartphone's play store. So, besides the subtitles issue, where sometimes it shows up and stays for 0.1 seconds, I can't change the subtitles' font size, font, background, etc. In some browsers I couldn't even choose the subtitle and the audio for the video, but I found out it was related to the browsers' ad blocker. Another thing is they limit their content a lot in their browser version. I basically just have access to their original TV shows and movies, so it seems like I'm using a trial version of the app where I don't have access to their full catalogue and can't customize my experience by changing a simple thing like a subtitle's font size. Fortunately there are browser extensions that let me costumize the subtitles, or else I would have quit Apple TV+ already.
In conclusion, I feel like I'm a third rate client for Apple, because I don't have any Apple product to use their streaming service and I'm seriously considering to watch their contents in other ways.

Not directly no but in recent years changes were made to the BBC board and since then a disproportionate number of BBC higher-ups have active ties to the Tory party and some have even stated that they joined to intentionally cancel programming that is critical of the Tory party, Brexit and Trump.
There is also the issue of BBC staff admitting that they purposefully allowed biased broadcasts to occur frequently during the 2014 Scottish Independence campaign because BBC staff felt like "We had a duty to defend the integrity of the Union".

I'm a little surprised. Extrapolations is a much better show than Velma, but with this crowd, it could be a toss-up.

You won’t “eventually have this problem” if you buy an AppleTV.

> religious focus was weird
I thought so too, and wondered if it might come up later in the series.
Now, I'm thinking the whole episode was to set up the moral quandary faced by good people. Shut down the homeless shelter or save the synagogue. If so, that was kind of a long walk just to say that everything is a trade-off.

Both of your explanations make sense. Many viewers would wonder about those kind of questions, so the writers could have worked some exposition into the dialogue. Maybe that would sound preachy, I don't know.

Is this the one with Gabriel Byrne in it? If it is, it's absolutely fantastic. One of my favorite science fiction shows.
I only see two seasons mentioned here, but there was a third released recently.
I think it was on Starz in the US. I had a trial.
I loved all the seasons, but of course the first was the best.
Then again, maybe you mean the other WotW series.
