The Curse finale...bonkers. Definitely a bold choice. I'm still thinking about it, that's for sure. Can't say much else.
For All Mankind, yep, it's definitely up there with the likes of Mr. Robot, The Handmaid's Tale, Homeland and The Walking Dead as having that one season that sparked but could never regain the magic. This might just be …

For All Mankind, yep, it's definitely up there with the likes of Mr. Robot, The Handmaid's Tale, Homeland and The Walking Dead as having that one season that sparked but could never regain the magic. This might just be me, but I feel like maybe Apple told the showrunners a fifth season wasn't guaranteed. I say this because there was a lack of deaths, which I found surprising considering Ed and Dani should both be dead by the time the 2010's roll around, so I can't see any way for them to come back that won't be baffling. And also it's an expensive show that doesn't have the following of say Stranger Things but more-so of Halt and Catch Fire. But it's a messy show with solid enough merits to keep watching.
Fargo, I'll be honest, the first time Noah Hawley had the chance to write non-white cops, he made them side characters. Dot is an interesting protagonist, don't get me wrong, but it's something I think should be noted. Still, I do prefer this installment over 3 and 4. Also, is it me or is Noah Hawley spoofing Yellowstone with Roy Tillman's character?
FAM would not have lasted this long on any other streamer or network but luckily for Moore, Apple has deep pockets and has been willing to build a real library rather than cancelling shows that underperform after a season or two (Prime also has this distinction to an extent). But it is crazy how expensive this show must be yet no one I know watches it.
Well those pockets get deep to an extent. I noticed they’ve axed smaller stuff like Mr Corman, The Mosquito Coast and Little Voice. They even axed Central Park which I enjoyed. And they stalled production on Foundation because it got too expensive that they also replaced the showrunner. And we have yet to hear about a renewal.
No way to know viewership for any of these (I'd guess all of them had underwhelming numbers) but appears even Apple+ is tightening the purse strings, like all the other streamers.
