I'm waaaaay behind on the show, but love what I've seen. The fact that it even has a third season, albeit with budget cuts, is a mystery to me as you rarely hear it being talked about. Apple must have very deep pockets!

Apple is one the biggest, most successfull companies in the world. It could easily buy Disney, Paramount, Warner Bros. and Universal Pictures. "Foundation"'s budget comes from the loose change found in Apple's sofa.

Yeah, but look at their shows*. The only one I see getting a lot of coverage is "Ted Lasso", which is a bit of an outlier as it's more "populist" and presumably reasonably budgeted. Most of their stuff tends to be "prestige" and expensive... and generally not much discussed. To be fair, they did try to "do a Netflix" with "Ghosted" but that barely made a dent in the public's consciousness. The only time I, or anyone else I know, has an Apple TV sub is when there's a free offer on. Maybe I don't know the right people, but surely they just can't keep throwing money at the platform? Though please finish "Foundation", peeps!

*The theatrically released movie strategy seems a bit more successful, though I wonder if even Apple's deep pockets are prepared to continue the "Argylle-verse" after it crashed and burned at the theatres.

The only new show that looks a bit interesting, is "Dark Matter (2024)".

"Argylle (2024)" is heading towards a loss of $150 - 200 million. But that won't stop them from spending a billion dollars each year on movies to be released in the cinema. It is less than 0.03 % of what the company is worth ($3.1 trillion).

Not heard of that one, but it sounds intriguing. Will have to see what the trailer looks like when it's released.

This is weird, 'Just Watch' thinks that it is the show from 2015! Usually, there is a link to contact them about any errors but I can't find it on the page.

@bratface, I don't know whether it has resumed being a problem since Travis commented this morning, but I noticed this thread on the Support forum, about a possibly related issue, JustWatch behaving wonkily.

If your mentioned issue hasn't corrected yet, let me know and I'll try something that i think possibly may fix it.

I tried to find that link on other movies, TV shows, etc. & it seems to no longer be an option? I can't even find how to contact them on their site.

I've never personally used JustWatch, so don't know either.

When I went to add Dark Matter (2024) to my JustWatch list, I couldn't find it on the site. JW does quite often lag behind other sites IME.

Not as annoying as the way Spotify seems unable to distinguish between two wildly different bands with the same name, though.

Maybe they were tired of the complaints?

Every JW link on the Dark Matters (2024) page goes to the 2015 TV show.

If we're talking about the same thing, that may be tied to the fact that JW doesn't seem to list the 2024 show.

I found this: https://support.justwatch.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021166998-Why-was-I-directed-to-a-different-title-after-clicking-out-from-JustWatch

But no way to let them know!

Perhaps JW is behind on the latest update. Other examples of upcoming Apple TV+ series not showing (yet) on JW: "Manhunt (2024)", "Sugar (2024)", "Franklin (2024)".

Until I checked I thought/hoped* that the last one was based on https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/8884-franklyn which would seem to be quite an "Apple" thing.

*Kinda, it's one of those films that I always have fond memories of but only gave 6/10 to.
