Aside from the shows mentioned above, Echo 3 also is really good. Severance should be at the top of the list though. Outstanding show.

[Antarael Dulacre]

Thanks for the suggestions so far, keep them coming if there's anything missing. I'll make a small list and try watching them during those 3 months! Guess I'll make Severence the top priority then!

[Z-Saber]

Wife is a big fan of Spirited. Christmas movie, but still.

[FamedGuardian]

The Shrink Next Door was decent too with Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, and Kathryn Hahn. As others said, Severance is top of my list!

RE:  Apple TV+, these are what I've watched (at least in part):

 

• Severance - counting down the seconds to season 2.
• See - lost interest a few episodes in
• Ted Lasso - four thumbs up
• Spirited - also four thumbs up.  I think RR was nominated for best song from this one, and Hugh Jackman is NOT happy about that.
• The Morning Show - again, four thumbs up.  We're waiting for season 3.
• Mythic Quest - I got about halfway through season 1, but I need to pick it back up.
• Foundation - I watched one episode and didn't start the next, but I want to.
• For All Mankind - this did NOT click with me

Central Park was one of my favorite shows on Apple. Smigadoon was surprisingly great. All the documentaries I saw were really good. Beastie Boys story if you even slightly like them

[gorgo]

So I took advantage of that Apple TV+ GPU perk afaik there were only like 5 series worth watching, aside from Ted Lasso what were the other ones?

For All Mankind

[gamegirlpocket]

First season of The Morning Show is great. Felt like they had a solid mini series script and the second season just happened because it was popular.

Severance, though? Holy shit.

Only Ted Lasso is good, the others pretty slow or boring.  Spirited is good but a movie.  Echo 3 and Mosquito Coast are interesting.

Black Bird. One season mini-series. Best thing on Apple tv.

[The Questyen]

The 3 seasons of Dickinson were easily the best thing I watched on Apple TV.

[walletandgromice]

Smigadoon was awesome. Very funny and a clever premise.

Mythic quest had a good first season and then it really fell off.

Funny that the Microsoft thread is the place to talk Apple (TV).

God bless Apple for not keeping Apple TV exclusive to Apple products.

Still can't use it on Android phones, though.

I didn't expect such a resonance to my question xp

 

however I'm grateful and remembered that a few people in here talked about Apple TV in the past, so I thought it was a good idea.xp.

So again thanks to everybody that responded. clearly will start with teh series that were mentionend multiple times and then slowly make my way through the others..3 months should be enough time give me a good look at them.

Much to my surprise I got a message saying my Gamepass Ultimate is going to expire soon. Does the trick I used 3 years ago still work? I bought 3 years of gold live and converted to GPU and managed to get the extra month. Is a trip to Turkey still the cheapest way? Any recommended VPNs?

Couldnt get into Severance, but Black Bird was creepy good.

ITs tricky but you can through a browser using tv.apple.com

Should still work. No one's reported it not working anymore.

Beat the main Danganronpa campaign yesterday and I enjoyed it, but I don't know if I have the will to go through two more of those games on Game Pass this year before they leave especially with them being longer and from my understanding, having diminishing returns as they continue.

[briandadude]

Xbox is so green now, guys. Introduce an energy hog mode then later disable it by default. Even better, go over a year between first party releases and no need to turn on the console at all! 😊

Not sure if this is new or I just was late to the party, but in the rewards section there is now an auto redeem for one month of game pass ultimate for 10,000 points. That is actually a pretty great value compared to the discount on gift cards. You can also redeem three months for 35K points.

My biggest challenge with finding something to watch is that I'll be looking for something to watch on my lunch break, my wife sees part of it and inevitably wants to watch it together. Which is nice, but sometimes you just want something you can watch on your own time.

At one time they would have discounds on the 3 months for 24k points.  I did that a few times and started saving points for when it happened again, but they seemed to have stopped that.  The 10k saves a few points and could be worth it since I don't usually do the $10 thing.

 

I find it tougher to find a good show for food time.  20-30 minute shows are the best, but I've watched through most of the ones I know of now.  Hulu is best for those types of shows.  Paramount+ is good when Lower Decks has a new season.

 

For Apple, I liked Mythic Quest, but it does get dull a few episodes at a time.  Severance had a great final episode, but it almost didn't hold my interest before then. (White Lotus season 2 was the exact same for me.  Only a good final episode)

[briandadude]

Just noticed in the Microsoft Rewards Xbox app they added an auto redeem 1 month Game Pass Ultimate for 10,500 points. Is that new?

Spoiler

The Friday and Monday dailies can overlap with the Arcade challenge.  2 Road championships can work for next Wednesday's clean racing daily.

 

Trial - Dirt- B700 2014 Ford FPV Limited Edition Pursuit UTE - Tuned 120 342 609.  AI is not tuned.  AWD swap bumps the PI to 700, but can still do a transmission upgrade to restore some of the speed rating lost with the AWD drivetrain.  4 of 6 people had tuned cars, I'm guessing they're the ones that did well (top 3 and 6th first race, top 4 second race).  I was 2nd and 3rd.  The upgrades on my tune would cover Saturday's daily.

• Mulegé Town Scramble
• Cordillera Trail (rain)
• ??

Event Horizon Danger Sign - B700 Ford Pre-1990 - 689 feet - Hit 766 with the 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302 (109 426 222).  Started just around the bend east of the sign, on the dirt road next to the Caldera icon.  Hit the ramp at 130 mph.

 

Estadio Speed Trap - B700 Ford Pre-1990 - 140 mph - Hit 142 with the '69 Mustang starting a bit north of the dirt intersection north of the trap.  Had to coast on the inside of the turn by the Stadium Jump Danger Sign to keep up speed.  Had tried a few times, but the car shifted gears nearing the trap slowing my acceleration.

 

Puerta Pétrea Trail Blazer - B700 Ford Pre-1990 - 22 seconds (3 stars is 25 seconds) - Hit 29.068 with the '69 Mustang.  Started from the bend uphill from the start gate, went to the straight paved road downhill.  After crossing the bridge, you can cut left between batches of unbreakable trees, then navigate between the rocks.  Clearing the target time will also complete today's daily.

 

Ford by Fours - Dirt - C600 Ford Pickups & 4x4's - No problems with the 2011 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor (985 068 711).

• Barranca Trail
• Bajío Trail (rain)
• Tulum Trail (rain)

Superstar & Hatch - Road - B700 Ford Hot or Super Hot Hatch - No problem in the 2017 Ford Focus RS (951 805 066).

• Lookout Circuit (rain)
• Cathedral Circuit
• Riviera Sprint

Caprisy Does It - Road - D500 1973 Ford Capri RS3100 - I first tried this stock, since there isn't much PI leeway for upgrading.  Won the first race pretty easily, but needed to rerun the other races to get a win, after finishing 2nd and 4th in my first attempts.  Tried an AWD upgrade, balancing the PI bump with changes to the spoiler, rear tire width and rear rims.  Had an easier time with that (940 680 016).

• Sierra Verde Sprint
• Arch of Mulegé Circuit
• Descansar Dorado Sprint

Photo - Fast traveled to the suspension bridge, switched cars, photo registered.

 

Hot Wheels

 

Canyon Fire Danger Sign - B700 Ford Pre-1990 - 754.6 feet - Got 994 feet with the '69 Mustang.  Started back at the loop SW of the ramp, left the track at 127 mph and managed to clear the cliff edge at get extra distance.

 

Shaking the Trees - Hazard - A800 Ford Modern Muscle - Used the 2018 Ford Mustang GT (163 310 707).  Had to run the first race twice because of the numerous off-road sections going through water.  Other 2 stayed on the track and were no problem.

• Forest Falls Hazard Sprint (rain)
• Forest Gorge Hazard Sprint
• Ice Loop Hazard Sprint

I like their baseball coverage. I wish the MLB.tv app looked as crisp and good as Apple TV.

None of their shows looked interesting to me except Ted Lass which is one of the best live action shows I’ve seen in years.

shantaram is easily the best show on Apple TV

Didn't see it posted yet but We Happy Few was stealthily added to the Leaving Gamepass list without any announcement with only a few days left before it leaves. Strange to see a 1st party game leave the service. Wasn't exactly a banger. Don't think it would have cost much to retain the rights to the IP.
