Apple TV is just incredibly bad at advertising their shows. Ted Lasso took off because of social media and then once that had happened, they took advantage of the hype. But there are so many good shows on Apple that nobody even knows about, so when they say “give people a better chance at checking in” I would interpret that as, market it AT ALL basically to people who aren’t already on the platform.

Yeah, I basically stumbled into watching Severance, and it's some of the best TV I've seen in years. No one I know has ever mentioned the show to me.

In social medias defense, if it hadn't been doing its thing, I wouldn't have watched it. I even tried the first episode and didn't make it to the end. The second time though, wow. Really, really great tv there.

On that note, watch Trying! Haven't gotten around to S3 yet but S1-2 are excellent- sweet, very funny, and with leads with phenomenal chemistry.
