Reportedly high budget has brought Apple TV+ a lot of prestige, but not a lot of viewers.

    There are some definite hits and some definite misses on Apple TV+ here’s the best and worst I’ve seen so far:

    “For All Mankind” - An awesome realistic Sci-Fi show that feels like a prequel to “The Expanse”. 4 seasons so far of top notch Sci-fi. Highly suggest for folks that were into The Expanse.

    “Silo” - Premise is basically Fallout except they call the vaults “silos” instead. Excise the peppy energy and self-awareness of Fallout and boom, you’ve got your gray mush run of the mill dystopian thriller “Silo”. It’s been a real yawner for me, I couldn’t make it through even 4 episodes.

      The Silo books are way better. They seemed to have changed some plot points to tell a slightly different story, but the main premise seems to be holding up. Book two is a huge tonal shift, so it’ll be interesting to see how they handle that in the show.
