Apple TV+ falls flat at Critics Choice Awards
Despite being nominated in 16 categories for the 2024 Critics Choice Award, Apple TV+ managed only a single win.

Apple TV+ hit "Ted Lasso" was already shut out of the 2024 Critics Award by receiving just one nomination for its final season, but other shows gained notable attention. "The Morning Show," "Shrinking," and "Lessons in Chemistry" all had several nods when the nominations were announced in December 2023.
However, only "The Morning Show" took home a trophy after the ceremony on Sunday, January 14, 2024. Billy Crudup won for the show in the Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series category.
As well as being the latest person to win Apple TV+ an award, Crudup was also the first. Back in 2020, he won the very first award that Apple TV+ ever got -- and it was in the same category, for the same role, in the same show.
While "The Morning Show" was the first major drama series made for Apple TV+, its run has been sporadic, with around nine months separating each of its three seasons. It has been reported that a fourth season has been ordered, with discussions over a fifth.

Pretty much EVERYTHING on Apple TV+ is incredibly well made, even if it’s not to my taste. There’s at least a half-dozen shows that meet my definition of “must see,” from Schmigadoon to Foundation. I can think of only two other streaming services that give me a better value for money, and they’re both quite a bit more expensive: Disney+ and Criterion.
I've had numerous opportunities to have it for free...not interested, it's rubbish 😡
If you have declined the free trial for AppleTV+ repeatedly, how do you know it is rubbish? I don't watch a lot of ATV+ content, but do occasionally. There are some great shows and movies including Ted Lasso, Lessons in Chemistry, Foundation, Killers of the Flower Moon, and more. Maybe you tried the service early on when it lacked a lot of content. But the library is growing regularly and has a number of titles worth watching on a free trial.
I think the shows on ATV+ are good, I watch many, they just seem to lack a little edge, a little innovation, a little aftertaste. But then again, who am to judge... Thanks for bringing up Slow Horses, and now I will bring up Silo, that was special, world building, twists, ambiguity, etc.
I reckon that AppleTV+ has a far higher percentage of "must see" TV than other streamers plus you don't have to wade through oceans of utter crap to find them!
iMessage became a lock-in only because it existed during the right time and only took off in a particular country.
Movies are a different ball game than messaging services, you can pirate the movies if you can't get them.
“A” shows for me on Apple TV:
Severance
For All Mankind
Slow Horses
Ted Lasso
Losing Alice
Mythic Quest
