Always felt that Netflix machine gun sprays their content into oblivion to see where it lands, which gives me decision paralysis. I just started using Apple TV+ two weeks ago and wow, it’s so refreshing to see how curating high quality content makes it easier for me to consume media.

    People keep saying this but there are quite a few shows on TV+ that I’ve tried and haven’t been able to get into. And I find there are very few shows that catch my attention or interest me from the trailers.

    Maybe it’s just my preferences are different, but there are a lot more shows/movies on Netflix that get me interested and keep me interested compared to TV+. I will say that video quality is much better on TV+ compared to Netflix though.

    Apple TV+ average seems much higher than other services. Naturally, not all shows catch my attention, but those I actually watch are really good!

    I love that Apple TV uses the highest quality in regarding to the picture, they have one of the higher streamer bitrates and basically everything is Dolby Atmos/Dolby vision.

    In concept, maybe. Just need to bring the quality IMO. 85% of ATV content is horrible.

    Agree. Except Netflix easily has as much or more high quality content, but it gets drowned out by tons of mediocre content

    I subbed to Apple TV and haves watched more there than any other streaming service this year. Foundation, Silo, For All Mankind have all been fantastic.

    They’ve got misallocation of spending like everyone else and by cancelling shows on the quiet (like high desert) they’re proving they have the same annoying “we don’t care about our viewers” traits as every other media company.

    They’ve clearly spent a fortune on Invasion and it’s a bad show. They clearly have spent on big actor vanity projects like Mr Corman too.

    That money could have been better allocated to other shows.

    Or just buy Paramount already and charge us a little more for their merged catalog

    I probably miss a lot of TV shows/movies that interest me on Netflix. They produce so much content. Content that interests me gets “lost in the sauce”.

    I’ve started having the same issue with Max. And all I want is HBO but now must pay higher prices for content that I don’t want and a clumsy UX.

    Both Netflix and Max charge extra for 4K, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos. They don’t care about customer satisfaction. They only care about subscription numbers.

    A premium service won’t nickel and dime their customers.

    And if your core business is your content, wouldn’t you want to offer the best experience and not one that is subpar? Poor video/audio quality can ruin a good movie… and also elevate an average one.

    Apple seems to care about the customer experience. Their content is well curated and they offer excellent video and audio quality.

    I’ll likely soon cancel Netflix and resubscribe for a month here and there. Max may also be on the chopping block for me as well… after the Gilded Age ends its season.

    This hands down. They are making some top notch shows and not throwing everything at the wall and see what sticks. Quality is everything at Apple and hope it stays that way. So far they have been the best streaming service for content quality to me.

    Cope!

    It’s true Apple TV has some great shows.

    Netflix has five times the number of great shows and 10 times as many great movies.

    Go ahead children, down vote me.

      Quality over quantity is great, until you run out. Then you need some quantity to spread around while the kids throw tantrums. I love them both for what they are.

    Apple tv has the best video and audio quality by far. But a lot of their original content is trash. I think the issue is usually bad creative direction. It feels like a lot of the shows are made in a soap opera format to drag the content along to keep you watching longer, rather than being engaging.

    They do have some stellar shows in the midst of all the trash tho.

    Season 1 of foundation is amazing Severance is one of the best shows I ever seen. Swansong is a wonderful movie. Highly recommend.

    It’s really hit or miss.
