I actually like that the majority walk around wearing what they had on at the time. The TGI Friday’s waitress flying a 777 is a lot funnier than a naked pilot.
Show threadacosmichippoMar 14
yeah exactly, and it highlights that they are all interchangeable. would be harder to show that all naked.
Show threadJimbabweMar 14

So true! Also, from my point of view as someone that knows zilch about how casting and costuming works on a big production like this, it certainly feels like the casting call for extras was along the lines of “show up wearing whatever the hell you want to!”

The supermarket restocking scene is a great example of outfit variety.

They even adjusted they clothing to please her. They acknowledged they had the flight crew dress more professionally on her second flight, after she got a little shook up at the TGIFridays server flying her plane.

I can’t imagine Apple would go for that, they’ve funded some great TV but they’re also pretty prudish.
Show threadSkavauMar 14
It doesn’t make sense in any case. People wear clothes for reasons beyond prudishness.
Show threadruuster13Mar 15
But viewers enjoy nudity for reasons beyond hornyness.

it’s not porn, it’s HBO

I guess this show is going to be the reason I finally go for Apple TV. Which is painful to me as an old fashioned PC fella.

If you do, Severance is another smash hit in the same vein.
Show threadDagwoodIIIMar 14
It’s worth getting. Monarch, Silo, Severance, Down Cemetery Road, F1, and plenty of others. Keep it a month and record the good stuff.

To expand on the list of great Apple TV shows: For All Mankind, Foundation, Morning Show, Ted Lasso

There’s also a show about a video game company, that was decent. Forget the name.

Mythic Quest?
Show threadSamskaraMar 15
Yes, that one.

Also Murderbot was an amazing adaptation

Apple and HBO are the 2 sources that 90% of what I watch comes from.
Show threadLurkingLudditeMar 15
Not worth it. At least pluribus isn’t. Let the dummies downvote me all they want but that show is junk.
Show threadWalk_blesseDMar 15
Mid-tier bait tbh, try harder next time.
Show threadSamskaraMar 15
Don’t hitch your identity to hating Apple. It’s silly.
Show threadmakeitwonderfulMar 15
Who produces what we consume is important. Not silly at all.
Show threadSkavauMar 15
Well, maybe, to a degree (and this goes way beyond Apple as they are only one player) - but making your dislike of a specific streaming service your identity is a bit silly, all the same.
Show threadOutdated4134Mar 15
It’s not like that at all. It’s just it’s always been apple vs PC and I’m team PC so I need to root for the home team. That’s all
