When we first reviewed Apple TV+ upon its debut in 2019, we gave it a lower score due to its lack of content.

We knew nothing about what kind of value Apple would bring into the streaming space, and we couldn’t think of many reasons to recommend the service when other streamers were offering way more content at the same $4.99 price point.

Discovery+ is still offering an insane amount of shows at the same price as Apple TV+, but the properties that make up much of that catalogue are Peak Content™ (think reality shows, low production value series, etc.).

Apple has also made a point to ensure that its story production spans across a healthy number of genres, and has specifically managed to solidify itself as a premier destination for original sci-fi programming.

In the beginning, Apple TV+ had intended to keep its series limited to original content produced in house to avoid licensing fees.
