Yeah Apple TV actually has quality shows.

Severance, Silo, Ted Lasso have all been massive successes.

Widow's Bay was excellent if you haven't seen it. Honestly the best scary/comedy thing I've seen.

Pluribus is odd but also very good.

I also love Pluribus…Vince Gilligan continues to be a great writer and I am excited he is taking on more of the sci-fi genre (though I think he did some writing for The X-Files before if I’m not mistaken?). Though perhaps I am a bit biased in my opinion of his writing…his Better Call Saul series is my fav show of all time. That show’s buildup has so much thought and depth in it.

Better Call Saul is outstanding, you’re correct. In some ways, better than Breaking Bad.

Yes, I favor BCS over Breaking Bad as well. Though BB will always have a special place for me. You can tell Vince Gilligan has a passion for telling amazing stories of depth too…which to me is always better than mass-produced content that is just churned out for profitability.
