I enjoyed both seasons and fully expected a cancelation. It's not something you easily keep rehashing. If I have one question is why hadn't anyone thought to do a Rashomon-style narrative for a murder mystery a long time ago?

Each episode was also filmed in different ways, using the language of film genres to differentiate between the retelling by each suspect.

That wasn't until season two, where they mimiic different directors filming styles.

At least I have the next Agatha Christie murder mystery directed by Branagh to look forward to when it hits streaming.

The article probably didn’t phrase it in the best way, but both seasons did each episode in a different genre or sub-genere. For example: Action, Mystery, Animation, etc. The last episode of season 2 did Soap Opera which would be more TV than movie genre.

Not true at all. First season was also filmed with each episode recreating a different film genre. 

I don't recall that at all. I guess I'll have to rewatch it to see what genre or style each episode mimicked in the first season.

edit: I checked. I see no genre theme per episode in S01, just the unique POV of the character being interviewed, like in the classic Rashoman.

Makes a lot of sense and it’s always seemed weird to me that the watch wasn’t linked up to all these things before anyway.

I can control my phone music from my watch, that’s great, but why can’t I also control my iPad playback?  It has better speakers so I often use it as a portable music player, my watch can be used as a remote for Apple TV so why can’t it be a remote for my iPad?

Theres a fitness app on my iPad already, why don’t I see any of my fitness data there?  It’s all in the cloud anyway, why do I have to dig my phone out of my pocket when the iPad is right there in front of me?

Virtually everything else in the Apple ecosystem is synced across devices and just picks up right where you left off on whichever device… why was there ever this weird, artificial wall sealing in just the watch + iPhone? 

Have you actually explored the Watch app on your iPhone? Can you imagine setting up an enter Watch with that small tech screen? I can, and it sounds like a miserable experience which is why I don't think we'll be seeing the Watch completely untethered from the iPhone. At best I think we can hope for making other devices conduits for the Watch.
