apple tv yeah whatever

Why did I subscribe to Apple TV? I think it was because the second season of Severance which I somewhat strangely stopped watching after a couple of episodes. But I have to admit now I'm really enjoying Pluribus which is a completely fine show and also Slow Horses is not at all bad. Even if it does have that grotesque Mick Jagger theme music and if the guy who plays River looks so much like Topher Grace it's madness.

The hateable bit about Apple TV is the constant requirement to sign in. So you have five hot shows, ATV, I bet everyone is really dying to get to your stuff. The constant requirement for scanning a qr code makes ATV seem needy, needy, needy. We don't have to have so much neediness. 

Select Apple TV on your smart (groan) tv and then you have to scan the code while it exposes you to umpteen hits from all five of the abovementioned shows and then you sign in and your phone eventually tells Apple TV that you've signed in, and then you have to select Apple TV again... ffs. Then you have to select your program and then 'play'. Who are these people?!
