Apple TV was offered to me for £2.99 a month for 3 months so I now have it for a bit! Got some definitely to check out - Severance, Ted Lasso, Shrinking, Silo... I'm also interested in Slow Horses, Mythic Quest and Roar.

Any other "must watch" shows while I have it?

Schmigadoon!

The exclamation point is in the title, but I would have put it there anyway.

Murderbot's being released in May...

Pachinko, Little America, and The Essex Serpent were pretty good, though I wouldn't put them among my personal all-time favorites. The Essex Serpent is sort of horror fantasy, with good performances by Tom Hiddleston and Claire Danes, among others.

ACAPULCO, it's got similar "Good, wholesome, hopeful" TV vibes to Lasso. Entertaining all the way through.

Oh shit, Tiste...I forgot to add in my voice for just how great SLOW HORSES is....like seriously one of the best shows Apple have made. SUCH amazing TV. I hope they do all the books as I never want it to end.

lol it took my brain a few moments of swimming in perplexity to realize that by "pos" you meant "positive" and not "piece of shit". I'd say it's the fatigue from having fasted for so long (and feasted so much today), but I just got through some moderately complicated mathematics without much trouble (then again, that might have tired out my brain for a moment...).

Hmm, thought I'd be getting three months free again if I buy a new iPhone but that's apparently a once-in-a-lifetime offer I've already used (unless they change their minds about that... within one's lifetime). Huh I see that the US version of Tiste's offer is $2.99/month for 3 months, still available---as opposed to £2.99 pounds = $4 / month, so that's a total of $3 less. Presumably you could just do one month and cancel if the offer's still available once the whole season's out (or scheduled to be out within one month and you have time to watch). Still, a free trial would be better.

Last episode of Murderbot (season 1) to be released July 11th, last day for Apple TV $3 / month for 3 months offer is April 24th (if not extended) so the three months would end just under two weeks after the final episode's released.

[Edit: so if you take the deal to watch Murderbot you'd have to stay subscribed for all three months, only saving $1 relative to waiting until after every episode has been released and then only subscribing for one month; but of course if you wait until it's all released you'll almost certainly forgo---perhaps even strive to actively avoid---spoiler-bearing discussions of the episodes as they're being released.]
