Reportedly high budget has brought Apple TV+ a lot of prestige, but not a lot of viewers.
I already subscribe to enough services and I really don’t want to give Apple my money.
They’re not available here, and can I even watch on Google TV? Sailing the high seas seems to be the best. Not my problem if I need an apple tv to watch apple tv +

You do not need an AppleTV to watch. The app is available on quite a few popular platforms, including many SmartTVs, Roku, Fire Sticks, PS4, PS5, several Xbox models, and Android TV.
On android TV there’s an app. Amazon’s Appstore as well for their fire TV sticks. But yeah
Yeah everything should be on one service otherwise it’s just easier to browse torrent sites that have everything on one service
As an Android user, how do you propose I watch?
I’m aware that you released to some Android TV devices a few years ago, you haven’t released to the Android OS yet and as a Chromecast user I’m still out of luck.
You’re ignoring a huge section of the market, so go fuck yourself Apple. You don’t get to ignore users and then complain that no one is watching.
Do you remember when Game of Thrones was only available via HBO Go, which was only available via iOS devices and then Game of Thrones was the most pirated TV show? I FUCKING WONDER WHY???
I’ve (somehow?) watched a number of Apple shows and they are good shows. Mythic Quest, Shrinking, Severance. I’m you’re target audience, it’s time you pay attention to that audience. You’re not picking me up now, I’ve already found “other methods” but you can win me back if you make it easier. It’s going to take some time, but time to get started.
I rage-quit after 4 episodes of Foundation, so I don’t remember how we were watching, but it was either on a PS3 or in Firefox on a Linux box. Those are the only two things I have ever had hooked to the TV. I haven’t used the PlayStation for ages, so we were probably watching it through a browser.

You need an account, but not an Apple device.
Maybe if they made an android app that works on phones and tablets.
Android app Currently only works on androidTV boxes if you can figure out how to create 2 Apple accounts
That’s why I pirate their shows. Most are still rather mediocre.
Apple TV is the best streaming service at the moment, hands down. I say this as a lifelong Apple hater. So many bangers:
- Slow Horses
- Silo
- Ted Lasso
- Severance
- Bad Monkey
Then I have Shrinking and Disclaimer on my to watch list.
