I have Netflix and Amazon Prime ( which for TV content isn't great).
Is Apple TV worth the 9 quid a month?

Depends what you like really.

There are some excellent programmes, and some dross.

Has a few decent shows but seems to rarely list new stuff.
Personally we just play the 'free trial' game, then cancel and take a new trial in another email when something new comes along we want to watch.

They regularly offer 6 months freebies, we've just took out another as a new season of Slow Horses has aired....

I've watched a fair bit on it. The quantity of content is tiny compared to Netflix and Prime, but the average quality is much higher I think. There's enough good stuff.

I thought Severance was one of the best things I'd seen for a while, and Slow Horses is very good. Ted Lasso and Bad Sisters are both good comedy dramas, and the missus really liked The Morning Show.

Not seen so many good original movies, mind you. I really liked Coda, but the two Tom Hanks ones were disappointing.
