TNG season 1 wouldn't have a chance today. Sat down to watch it with an 8 year old, even he found it ridiculous.

That's how most tv reviews are unfortunately, they review the pilot and score the whole season based on it.

Apple has billions in cash they can run it for years before it becomes profitable or they give up.

I'd say severance is more drama and thriller than scifi

They are not entirely garbage but a very different type of story telling. More mainstream, more predictable and... Plot holes.

Read originals and books by son and Co. It's not great but not that bad for TV material either. We've seen a lot worse stories the past few years even on high budget TV productions. I have serious doubts though how you can drop an audience in this story which requires you to know the events of 3 more books for the character motivations to make sense.

Different times though, today the series would have been cancelled before any critic had the chance to check again.
