You do realize that Apple TV plus will this year become the largest streaming service in the world, and will dwarf Netflix and soon have a 100 million more subscribers than Netflix?? ...
Wow...it's hard to even comprehend such religious faith. This year pass netflix 100 million. :rolleyes:

I have no doubt the numbers will be good, but I think even Timmy's dream scenario isn't passing netflix at all this year.

I hope Apple doesn't give us content that is too PC and would be willing to branch out and make shows as dark and action filled as Netflix's "DareDevil" and Amazons "The Boys" are.

They do need some science fiction.
That’s probably why they are making some.
