There are far worse vanity projects out there, I’m sure. -- nm - Qale Nov 20, 08:42
What's the news here? - Mop🧹 Nov 20, 08:24
I think they're my fave: - mud Nov 20, 08:15 3
- I like a few of their shows but they don't justify the cost of another streaming service for me. -- nm - Krusty Nov 20, 08:17 2
  - It's a real problem. THere aer way too many. -- nm - loosilu Nov 20, 08:37
  - I think that's a big part of the issue - they are seen as "another" streaming service, rather than the original (Netflix/HBO) or something you get as - Roger More Nov 20, 08:30
not markedly different than any other streamer -- nm - mr mooch Nov 20, 08:09 6
- It's a bit surprising to see them fail at this when they've done so well with their phone and computer divisions. So many people use Apple products - Krusty Nov 20, 08:16 5
  - It's weird. They've got a lot of sci-fi stuff and that's my bread an butter, but for some reasons the shows just don't 'hook' me. -- (edited) - decline Nov 20, 08:22 2
    - I liked Silo after watching the first few episodes but didn't feel compelled to go back. I still want to watch it so I'll give it a go again soon. -- nm - Krusty Nov 20, 08:26 1
      - Many books are better as books. -- nm - Spawn Nov 20, 08:39
  - the quality can be hit or miss for me but they just don't market at a studio level -- nm - mr mooch Nov 20, 08:17 1
    - I rarely see ads for their shows. They've really dropped the ball with this. -- nm - Krusty Nov 20, 08:20
Hollywood digs the big paychecks. -- nm - budice Nov 20, 08:01
