Reply to comment by BourbonandStargate in I'm watching Apple TV Plus for the cinematography. by Sure-Ad7730

I get down voted for my critiques on here it's just the more I watch the service the more I'm convinced it's for hard core aficionados of the art of creating good television and not for casual viewers. And I fear the average is going to go over their heads, which leaves them with Netflix. It reminds me a bit of Paramount Plus which is another service I struggle with, but watch for similar reasons. It's quality over quantity and most people don't respect that approach.

We certainly are a dumbed-down society, aren't we?

We are.

Biggest critique of this service is that they don't have a legacy catalog. I don't think that is an issue. I was around for a lot of the legacy content that the services ran by the networks and cable TV stations own and to be honest, it was not that good. I don't want seventies, eighties and nineties content I want something new.

If you're looking to relive those days or you're a young person watching stuff from then vicariously this may not be the service for you. Better to push forward than live in the past.
