For All Mankind on Apple+ is very good. I finished season 1 last night.

I feel its dry out there regarding a good series currently.
I'm casually watching The Gentlemen and Fallout, both are just ok.
I enjoyed Baby Reindeer, but ran through that in a weekend.
I liked Fallout, looking forward to season two.
I knocked out A Man in Full on Netflix in about three days. I really liked it.
Fallout is very good
Shogun is very good
Very late to the party, but watching Vikings currently. Love it.
I'm just waiting for the new seasons to drop. I liked Fallout, but nothing special.

I've watched the first three seasons of Vikings. Really dug it. Then it left Prime to go to Netfflix or wherever and, making issues worse, my "pirate shit" app has gotten very hit or miss (mainly miss) recently, so I'm on a bit of a hiatus while hoping those issues get worked out.
So I'm now watching Reacher. Gotta say, there is something really funny about random hicks deciding to challenge that dude, being what that he's a massive, massive dude who looks like he'd dismantle a person in about .15 seconds. And then does.

Severance is coming back....eventually. I recently read they finished filming.

I have these all queued up for 2024 release dates, last I checked:
Severance, House of the Dragon, Outer Banks (guilty pleasure), The Boys, The Diplomat, You, The Night Agent, Bosch: Legacy,
Then the wife loves Emily in Paris, and I get sucked in each season.
5 episodes into Fallout and I like it so far.
Started The Office a few weeks ago.
I had seen a few episodes here and there and had mixed feelings about it. I caught a few more episodes on TV and decided to give it a watch through.
Season 1-3 were fine and it was enjoyable. There was a noticable drop-off in quality about halfway through season 3. Around this time it felt like the writers got market research back saying that
viewers loved the dumb characters so they just started CTRL-C/CTRL-V'ing
all of the already-stupid characters and making unnecessary duplicates of them.
I am almost done with season 7 and it's borderline unwatchable. I doubt I'll finish.

Glad I'm not the only one. I found it to be just "OK" with occasional comedic moments (mostly Dwight, and occasionally Kevin). Michael Scott is just horribly and painfully awkward, even by lovable idiot standards there's just something about that character that is just too cartoonish to suspend disbelief.
Also really enjoyed The 3 Body Problem. Wish it had more episodes, which is becoming more and more frustrating as seasons get shorter and shorter.
The Office seasons 2-4 are solid. Could watch most of those episodes at any time and still enjoy. 5 is good but after that IMO there was a drop off.
Finished the 4th season of For All Mankind. Easily a top 5 all-time show for me now. I hope I don't have to wait long for season 5 to be released.
Finishing up Vikings. Outstanding show, but the acting became almost insufferable. Lagertha and Ivar are the absolute worst, but Bjorn wasn't too far off. In season 2-3, Ragnar had some of the best acting I have ever seen, especially as he was struggling with the opium addiction.

Started this yesterday based solely on this post. So far, so good.

Anywhere else to watch it besides Apple TV?

No
AppleTV has the worst marketing. I never hear about any of their shows until I come here, except The Morning Show, which is awful. But the other stuff on there is mostly great!
Yeah, their marketing sucks. For All Mankind is maybe the greatest sci-fi show ever, and hardly anyone knows it exists.
Shogun was 🔥🔥🔥
About two episodes into "Unlocked" on Netflix. Enjoyable so far, but struggling with just how much seems scripted. There's also a deputy who not saying she's hot, at all, but seems far too attractive to be working in men's jail with people up on murder charges.
Also has a tweaker featured fairly prominently who appears to have OD'd and died just recently.

My sister has AppleTV, guess I will download the app on my roku and steal/borrow her's.

It's worth the effort if you like sci-fi.
