I’ve never felt that there was enough on the platform to justify paying a monthly subscription, in comparison to other services, but we’ve dipped in and out through offers and free trials. Of the series that I’ve seen, I’d highly recommend Severance (ongoing series) and Blackbird (limited series).
The first seasons of Ted Lasso and The Morning Show are good but they really go off the boil (IMO) in the latter seasons. Particularly TMS. I really don’t understand how it gets so many awards nominations. We’ve also watched Bad Sisters (first season is good but drawn out) and Loot (avoid).

I thought The Morning Show was shockingly good, perhaps because I was expecting a fluffy sitcom and what I got was Larry Sanders meets Succession. The final season maybe wasn't quite as brilliant as the previous two, but I partly put that down to cram-viewing the whole thing before my free trial ran out. I think that's the only Apple show I've seen, unless The Leftovers was on Apple. I started watching that illegally, then streaming it legitimately and ended up buying the DVDs. It's sort of Lost from the point of view of everyone who didn't get magicked away to a mysterious island, only several hundred times better.
PS Ignore me: just remembered Leftovers was an HBO thing.
PPS By the final season of The Morning Show , I meant the third one. I had no idea until five seconds ago there was a fourth!

Just watched Season 4 and almost cried at the end of the first episode... In general, it´s been an excellent season, though James Callis is obviously playing Gaius 2.0. Oldman´s Spanish dubbing is awful here, they try to do "something" like what he does with his thick accent in the OV but it clearly doesn´t work.

I am super-intrigued by the trailers, and then there's also the series Servant which got a bit of buzz when it started.
There are quite a few dystopian-style series which isn't really my thing, and Ted Lasso appears to be a sports comedy and that might be my least favourite genre.
Since last week, Prime NL has started to sell series (per season) and the offer is 5 euro for the first season. Dexter Next Blood is a limited series but it still counts as "first season" so I watched that. It's great and just the same thing as the original series. It has a very sad ending BUT - hip hip hurrah - like Bobby and JR Ewing, Dexter Morgan never really dies, and the new series Dexter Resurrection is (quoted from wiki) designed for multiple seasons!
Of course they couldn't resist doing a useless prequel series as well - Dexter Original Sin - and it goes without saying that I will avoid that one like the plague (but then again, it also features a young Detective Batista).

Don´t rule out D: OS without seeing a couple of episodes. Patrick Gibson is great as young Dexter, and so is the actress who plays young Deb. And yes, Batista is there, and also Laguerta and a few of the victims! There are too many nods to the Dexterlore and Christian Slater is not believable as Dex´s daddy, but even so... It was quickly renewed for a second season but 2 weeks later it was un-renewed, which it´s a sign of its quality to me (big shots are idiots). I´ve read very few opinions on the net that actually are against the prequel.
