I've been pretty impressed with the content on AppleTV. Yes, the interface sucks, there's not a lot of selection, marketing was horrible, etc... all true.
But the content they do have on there is pretty solid, especially when you compare it to the 'green light EVERYTHING' approach of Netflix. AppleTV shows tend to be short (8-10 episode series... fairly self-contained season).
Ted Lasso: There's another thread that covers this, but it's my favorite show at the moment.
Little America: Eight self-contained episodes inspired by true stories of American immigrants. They manage to do this without painting everyone as racists. If you grew up with immigrant parents (as I did), some of the stories in this show mirror their experiences. At least, it did for me.
Mythic Quest: Not great, but funny enough about a group of morons who run a WoW-like company.
Amazing Stories: Like an updated The Outer Limits (or, if you remember a reboot of the 80's show). EP is Spielberg.
Trying: British show about a couple trying to have a kid. Again, not great but entertaining enough.
Best of all? None of the above shows end its seasons on hard and cheap cliffhangers. I'm a fan of AppleTV now... there's like, nine of us.
