This post originally was going to be about how you should watch the show Little America on AppleTV+, but then it was going to be a post about how you should watch For All Mankind on AppleTV+. But, I’ve now discovered and gotten hooked on the AppleTV+ series The Morning Show“>The Morning Show so this post is about how you might as well get AppleTV+ and just binge-watch all three.
Little America
This is a really great feel-good series, something we all need right now. There are 8 episodes available and each episode is a different story based on a real-life one.
For All Mankind
I was hesitant to watch this at first, I knew it was space-related but that was about it so I thought it was going to be a space story based on real-life events. 5 minutes into the first episode I realized, I was wrong. Not going to spoil the idea for you but it’s a show based on the space race of the 60s, but none of the events on the show match what actually happened in real life. It’s much more interesting. The show stars the incredibly talented Joel Kinnaman from The Killing and Altered Carbon and I think it might be the best show I’ve watched this year.
The Morning Show
I started watching this last night after being disappointed by Defending Jacob and I couldn’t stop watching it. I initially started watching it hoping it was similar to one of my all-time favorite shows, The Newsroom and although it isn’t as good, it got me hooked. I’m now more than halfway through the series and looking forward to finishing it up tonight after I’m done with work. The show has an all-star cast with Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon and Steve Carell.
Apple had a promo going on where if you purchased certain hardware from them they’d give you a year of AppleTV+ for free. I’m not sure because I wasn’t paying attention when I signed up but I was able to get a year for free I think because I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro. But if you haven’t purchased anything from Apple recently then they’ll give a one week free trial which should be more than enough time to binge-watch all three shows. Have fun, here is the link.
Update: Oh not sure how I forgot but if you’re a fan of It’s Always Sunny in Philidelphia, then you should also watch Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet on AppleTV+. It’s funny and stars Mac and Cricket.

True, and sad I was gonna sub for it.

So I guess you need VPN to watch.
Don’t think so, I just tried it now without a VPN and without SmartDNS and it’s working fine. You probably just need a US Apple account.
I have had apple tv since the day they started service I do not use VPN.
You should also see “Defending Jacob”
Defending Jacob is really slow and lame. If you want a good detective series watch The Killing.
“The KIlling’ is on Hulu IIRC. You dont necessarily need Apple TV for it.
AppleTV+ is not the same as AppleTV FYI. AppleTV+ is their streaming service.
Not-so interesting fact: I was once waited on by the real-life guy in the Little America episode with the Syrian refugee. He was a server at Books@Cafe, an all-inclusive coffeeshop/restaurant in Amman, Jordan.
He’s now happily married in Ohio 🙂
VERY interesting tidbit! As someone who lived in Ohio, that makes me very happy because he could be having a great time there!
And books@cafe is a great place. Been 10 years since I’ve been there but it was fantastic
Does “for all mankind” focus on female power?
Not gonna spoil it
Oh come on,, email me!
I just watched 1st episode of “tales from the loop”.. good shit
Tales of the Loop is soooo boring. Started off really great, ep1 and 2 and then became rubbish to the point I think I have an episode or two left for the season and not interested at all in watching them. I think ep6 was the most boring episode of any show ever.
Bum!
Change of plan:
Penny Dreadful: City of Angels
Apple TV+ isn’t available in Kuwait.
It’s working fine with me.
Got 1 year free subscription with the purchase of new iPhone, got US account, but it will not allow me to register Kuwaiti credit card?
Mark, did you register with US card?
Nope I just buy US recharge cards and top off my account like that
thanks
you should check out “see” and “truth be told” as well
I bought that Apple TV device, it was slow. I blamed in on the internet here, but I pulled it out of the box and tried it again with the 5G. Still just loading circle, play then stop and load.
Its back in the box, I’m using Firestick with no issues. I’ve used my phone to watch a bit, but their original content is kinda dark.
Which Apple TV device? There are like 5 generations of it
What do you know? You didn’t even like Dirk Gentlys Holistic Detective Agency.
Unsubscribed.
At least I didn’t rank Rick and Morty #2 on the best shows of the last decade

Dirk Gently was brilliant, and so is Rick and Morty. You suffer from brilliance envy mark.. you want the brilliance, but you’re being easily distracted by reality tv 😂. Speaking of which, any reality tv worth watching? I can use some variety in my programming
Welcome to 2019 Mark 🙂
Their docuseries Home is pretty great, same team behind Chef’s Table. And I heard the show Servant is their best original yet. Morning show felt quite weak for me.. I quit around episode 3 but if you say its so good maybe Ill get going with it again
+100 servant. unique, weird series
