This is a community for Apple TV+ discussions (the service, not the Apple TV device).
Here you can discuss news about shows, changes to the service and other matters.
New episodes of shows tend to drop at midnight UTC. Daylight savings may or may not shift this an hour.
Rules:
Spoilers:
- No spoilers
Civility:
- Always be respectful and be civil
- Remember the human
- Don't get baited by trolls, see someone be a dick, block/report and walk away
Piracy:
- Don't ask for or share any pirated material, this includes "clever" hints
Links:
- Don't editorialize links. Use the article's title as the title of your post
Off-topic:
- Keep posts and comments relevant to the service in general and news about new content
- Try to keep episode discussions in the relevant communities, you're free to (cross)post to/about episode discussion threads in relevant communities
- No tech support
Bootstrapping:
- For the time being, to bootstrap the community, crossposts of archived Reddit posts by the Lemmit bot that show up in [email protected] are allowed
- Try to be logical about crossposts
- Crossposting questions the answer to which would only specifically benefit the OP (who is on Reddit and can't read replies), is useless
- Crossposting questions that could lead to comments with information that would benefit members of the community are fine
- Lemmit crossposts need to be tagged with [Lemmit]

Such an unusual series. Putatively about an alien invasion but it focuses on the characters so much it’s really about how they react to and deal with the events.
It has a strange “generic atmospheric sci-fi horror possibly-trying-too-hard-to-be-realistic” feeling to it ala Cloverfield etc, but it’s also fairly unique in that the characterisation is REALLY deep and believable. I was sad when Casp went into the coma
The comparisons to The War of the Worlds are pretty obvious. It also reminds me sometimes of a sci-fi novel series called The War Against the Chtorr
