I mean yeah Apple are multibillionaires so they can afford it, but just curious. With how many great shows it came out with so quickly (Ted Lasson s1, Mythic Quest, etc) and shows that I’m positive were super expensive to make (Monarch: Legacy of Monsters) with all the CGI (which I honestly thought looked pretty good for a TV show) but how little it’s really recognized among the current Streaming giants, I can only imagine that the Apple tv division is basically operating at a huge loss and focusing on building a base, with profit only in like 10 years time at best.
The fact that so many surprising shows like severance are on Apple TV makes me think they’re really giving it their all instead of being like tubi or paramount’s nonsense. And they seem to have the polar opposite approach of hbo max’s recent ceo who was axing shows/movies/etc left and right.
