Invasion isn’t a bad show but ignoring the fact that See, Silo, Severance, Slow Horses, Foundation, For All Mankind, and most other shows on Apple TV exist is just dumb. Ted Lasso was mid after season 1 imo but Apple TV has an unmatched quality level with most of their library. I dislike Apple but they’ve been making banger after banger compared to every other streaming service and I hope Monarch is just as good as everything else.
I feel like the difference in Apple TVs shows versus other streamers is the cinematic quality.
It reminds me of the days when the difference between network tv shows and premium cable shows was distinct.
I can’t seem to find the exact words but it feels like Apple TVs programming is just more polished, whether the plot/writing/pacing etc. is not great it still feels like a polished product that fell short.
Apple understands that trying to cut every corner to reduce cost is a recipe for garbage. More than that, they’re not afraid to spend what’s necessary to achieve better than “good”. I think they’re evil in other ways for sure, but I respect this about them. It shows in everything* they produce.

Severance was one of the best shows to come out in the last few years.

That keyboard was the absolute worst.
And they did 3 different versions of that shit before killing it for good.
It’s kind of cool to see them back to basics. Good keyboard, good connectivity, no touchbar BS, crazy good CPU and GPUs, crazy battery life.
I don’t like the other but Silo and Severance?! C’mon they are amazing! I do like Invasion too so IDK what’s this meme is about either
Invasion season one was terrible honestly. I just couldn’t understand why I even bothered to continue watching.
When season two came out I gave it another chance and was blown away.
I really enjoyed For All Mankind.
New season just dropped.
Slow Horses is phenomenal! One of my favourite series in years
