The reviews are coming in for all of these Apple TV+ shows beginning when the streaming service launches on Friday (The Morning Show, See, Dickinson, For All Mankind) and none of them seem to be getting especially positive reviews (The Morning Show and See are getting pans for the most part). Doesn't seem like a good motivation to sign up for them.

The over reactions to the first week of the NBA season are great! I'm down for a Phoenix Suns title run.

All those billions spent by mega-corporations to get the next Game of Thrones...

Apple and Amazon don't even care if those first fail, they can get 10 more even more expensive series next year and will succeed eventually.

It's probably not a great sign for Apple TV+'s long term chances that their much hyped launching series (The Morning Show) is a dud. Can't say I'm surprised though. Great cast but it looks so dull.

How do you figure? Not up yet on Metacritic and two positive on RT, still very early.

I can see a few reviews, seems alright so far.

The star power will make people curious at least.

The trades have been pans. Variety and Hollywood Reporter are negative and Indiewire is a C-.

Speaking of new streaming platforms

 

 

Obviously we don't have a whole lot of details yet (there's a conference tomorrow for investors that should give us new details about the service), but Disney+ is looking to get 60-90 million subscribers by 2024, so that sounds like a good target. Let's see what the service has in store.

They've been announcing so many projects left and right with good talent involved but we'll have to see which ones land, if any. That goes for pretty much all of the services (except Disney+ which will obviously survive because it's, well, Disney).

I know that one of the HBO Max shows has Hiro Murai as a director, though I forget which one, and I'm hopeful that's good. I wasn't crazy for Guava Island, but he directed some of the best episodes of Atlanta (I'm sure he also directed some of the best for Barry, but I haven't seen it yet), and it'd be dope if he gets more work.

The new Michael Mann project will be on HBO Max! But... it's also the new Ansolo project...

But what if it takes his first experience with Mann to finally turn Ansel into a good actor?

HBO Max is gonna thrive. It has a new show with Ansolo directed by Michael Mann.
