So Apple TV+ is a thing now, and for yet another monthly subscription ($4.99/mo) there’s some original programs. Unfortunately of those referenced none are striking me as ‘must see tv’ so at least for now I’m still out. Plus still catching up on my backlog of fall network tv and trying to finish Downton Abbey to see the movie. So many shows so little time… I did recently wrap Sneaky Pete which I enjoyed and the first season of Dead to Me which also kept me engaged.

- The Morning Show (Ap+) Series Premiere, Friday 11/1 – Of all the new apple series this is prob the one you’ve heard of with Reese and Jenn as morning news leads in the time of scandal, and while I have read a few positive reviews across the board pretty mixed with some ‘it’s a mess’ or perhaps more tragically ‘it’s a snore.’
