Happy to see Apple continuing to announce new content. I really hope we get info on their heavy hitters this Sunday at their press conference. I need dates for Foundation, Lisey, Home before Dark, Shantaram, and Amazing Stories. These light shows are good, but the heavy/prestige dramas are what sell subs.
