Some people took Apple not being too keen on gratuitous sex and violence and spun it into the usual "LOL APPLE FAIL!" nonsense that's rarely based in reality.

I wish these some of these had sad/devastating endings like Black Mirror. All of them are mostly uplifting and sometimes life isn't like that. They were all pretty good though despite none reaching the highs of "Thanksgiving".
Finished watching all 10 episodes today, and what a ride, what a joy to watch those stories, what a precious wholesome TV show in a sea of violence and grittiness. What a breath of fresh air to let the marginalized have such a positive voice. What a show full of hope amidst all the hardships and struggles. I found each story interesting to follow, some being more riveting than others. I particularly loved The Jaguar, The Managed, The Cowboy & The Son. But they all are extremely great windows to the varied lives of so many different human beings all united by the desire to have a better life. I enjoyed spending time on google after most episodes, in order to get to know those lives a bit more, all fascinating and so interesting, all putting a smile on my face.
We need those kind of shows more than ever, and I'm grateful to Kumail Nanjiani for helping making this a reality.
I actually particularly LOVE that they're real life stories that end in an mostly uplifting ways. You don't see those often on screen, at least not when it comes to POC, usually movies and TV Shows telling their lives can dive deep in misery pornish stereotypes. Switch the narratives up, allow for positive uplifting representations of the marginalized, or the forgotten and hidden. I love that, it's a powerful stance they're making, and I love them for it.

Oh, I thought this was something new. When I checked last month there still wasn't anything on the service worth the bother of signing up for a free year. I'm disappointed.
On the upside, I just realized Apple has finally stopped spamming me about "special offer only open for three months: one year Apple + subscription." It's been ~2 years of Apple TV ads on my iPhone. Doubt my next phone will be an iPhone thanks to that shit, I really dislike forced ads you can only get rid off by subscribing to a dumb service.

Christ lord almighty!
This show is amazing! I got a year AppleTV+ with my phone and I've been trying to watch some stuff, but this is the only show that REALLY amazed me! Huge props to everyone involved with the show! I've only seen 2 episodes so far, The Manager and The Jaguar and they are both A++ episodes.
POSITIVE portayals of immigrants being amazing. LOVE that they are based on real people's stories.
I want to recommend this to everyone but no-one has AppleTV+ lol
It's so fucking relevant. The other shows that are on (some good!) like Trying, Ted Lasso and Defending Jacob have been very white and middle/upper-class so far.
Might make a thread about it when I'm finished, or did I miss the OT in my search?

This is basically the show's OT, but feel free to make a new thread if you wish!
I just finished watching this the other day, and it's so good. I loved all the episodes, especially The Cowboy
Can't wait for Season 2
Can't wait for Season 2
Watched the first episode and was close to tears. Watched it with my wife. As being children of immigrants, Kabir's story resonates. This is so damn good. Gonna watch the rest. Read the real news articles.
Second season will be airing soon, December 9th.
