Apple Inks Deal for 'Echo 3' Adaptation of Israeli Action Thriller 'When Heroes Fly'

Israel makes the best shows

Great, another CSI, Bravo Team, FBI, etc type of show. I want hardcore science fiction; gimme some Larry Niven (Ringworld) or Joe Phillip Farmer (Riverworld), I'd love some alternate history sci-fi (Larry Flint).

I'm still waiting for anything to watch on my free 1 yr subscription.

If you haven’t found a single thing to watch on Apple’s offering so far, I’m sorry but you’re clearly looking for very specific, niche content.

Ive watched the original show , it has NOTHING to do with Bravo team , FBI or CSI , like really nothing , its not a military show in any metric , the original was non violent no sex , with strong thriller aspects and suspense , It was great show , with mediocre ending , its amazing how FAST you were able to judge the show to wrongly and get some likes along the way.... jeez.

I don’t watch a lot of tv. I will watch and occasional b grade slasher film. But typically I watch a car or diy show. Maybe chopped. I do like forged In fire.

I keep basic cable

Ok so you’re clearly not the target market for any streaming platform.

This whole Apple TV+ thing is so cringe. Imagine if Steve jobs had Apple hire bands to make music for iTunes. They’ve completely lost their focus. Sad.

Bro. Apple's a far bigger company than it ever was under SJ. Through personnel and product range.

It’s absolutely correct that I want niche programming; that’s what I’ve got Shudder streaming service for. And yes, I judged the Israeli show without even having seen it - it just doesn’t appeal to me at all. There isn’t anything wrong with that is there? I didn’t call the programming crap or call down anyone’s preference, nor will I.

At the moment I’m rewatching Ash .vs. Evil Dead. That’s niche and I can/do appreciate that not everyone likes that genre. Not a big deal and it doesn’t diminish my enjoyment of said programming.

Kinda the same with Disney+; I gave my niece a 1 year sub allowing 4 simultaneous logins; installed it on an iPad Pro and couldn’t find a single thing I wanted to watch so I just deleted it.

That’s the beauty of having multiple streaming services available - choice.

But you didnt even know what the show is about , but you were so quick to categorize it with the CSI/FBI shows and throw the "That’s the beauty of having multiple streaming services available - choice."
When you make them (choices) without any basis or knowledge of what you are dismissing , it has a different name......

Also it doesnt get any more niche then doing an Israeli novel/show remake is it ? can it be popular while being a niche ? sure , thats the goal of any show , Its a 10 episode show with a strong script , not some kind of 8 season long show that was supposed to end in 1 season (i.e prison break for example) , I actually really like shows that ends in 1 or 2 seasons tops , they can pack a punch and have good closures , i find the 9 season shows usually become way too generic , until that last season where they try and wrap things up with a bang , unless its comedy shows , then i dont mind the extra seasons.

TLDR - pass judgment when you have some information and not just bias , unless of course you dont really want to be objective , which is of course your right to do as well.
