People have paid for paramount+?
Anyone watch Suspicion on Apple+? My wife and I enjoyed it. I thought the ending was a bit weak, but it was pretty engaging for the majority. My BIL usually has great taste in TV and he dragged it, said he couldn't get through 2 episodes, so YMMV.Unrelated, I loved Breaking Bad. Watched it twice. But yet I never was able to get into BCS.
Almost done re-watching S5 of Better Call Saul in advance of S6 premier Monday. What a show.
Severance
Severance is the best show I've seen in quite some time. Unique premise and executed flawlessly. Only drawback is it's on Apple TV+, which nobody has. I am desperately trying to find people to talk to about this show.
Seriously? I know tons of people who have it. Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, Trying, Mythic Quest, Mr Corman, etc... Its not like its a one off show. Plus a bunch of movies.
I suppose I forgot about Ted Lasso. Maybe I am friends with the wrong people but Apple TV+ seems to be the least widely used streaming service out of the major ones out there.
I guess it all depends. I feel like Netflix and HBOMax are most common. Then it depends. I feel like people who watch a lot of network TV or love rewatching syndicated shows tend towards Hulu. Otherwise, Apple+ and others are used.

TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Also, the actress who plays Kim in BCS better get some damn Emmy recognition finally.Christ is she good.
I know substantially more Apple+ subscribers in my 25-39 demo than I do in my parents 50+ demo, which is very Netflix/Hulu heavy
So I began watching Severence. 3 episodes in. The premise is intriguing. The cast is brilliant...but the show is just unsettling. Like I enjoy it, but it just makes me very uneasy to the point that its not a fun watch. Its...odd.In a different vein, not since Nip/Tuck has a show I enjoyed completely lost the plot and become terrible like Billions had. I knew it would be a bit different without Damien Lewis, but holy hell its just become AWFUL. I used to look forward to it every week, and now after this season, I may be out completely.
I agree on Billions. Unrealistic story lines and character turns, plus some bad acting really changed the tone of the show.
Chuck Rhoades went from an interesting, flawed but dynamic character, to an obnoxious caricature who is beyond unlikeable.And totally agree about the acting. Asia Kate Dillon is very talented, but they went from being exceptional to chewing the scenery every episode and being overly brooding or whatever. And the dialogue? It went from fast but clever and punchy to overly heavy handed and corny. Every conversation with Chuck or Mike Pence and Scooter has way too many obscure references or metaphors that sound like the person at the party who is referencing niche anecdotes to seem enlightened. There used to be a couple a show that were great, but now its 10 per 15 min. Its awful
