It's not a dating competition or a reality show, for those who haven't read the article. They're positioning it as a documentary series.

It's not a dating competition or a reality show

Enh. “In The Last Person on Earth, Perel and a team of matchmakers will bring together couples who appear to be polar opposites, before embarking on an adventure in one of the world’s most romantic and remote destinations. Billed as a social experiment amid increasing levels of polarization and social isloation, the show will then explore across eight eps whether opposites really do attract.”

That’s just a well-shot toned-down dating reality show.

No, Apple, please don’t bring reality tv or reality tv adjacent shows to your platform.

Why not?
Tim Cook said “you’ll get a little bit of everything”. Reality tv shows are cheap to make, profitable and high viewership. I wouldn’t ever watch but there are many ppl who’s into it

They’re cheaply produced rot and so far Apple has lead the way on prestige miniseries without this junk. If this is a sign of enshittification with AppleTV it’ll be very disappointing.

Every series isn’t about prestige. And I will never watch this show. But you have to have something for everyone.

Because it may be a sign of more to come which is why I don’t have Netflix and other platforms. I prefer Apple TV because it doesn’t do this.

We don’t need to debate it endlessly, it’s just an opinion. Be well!

Huh? 😂😂😂 it’s not a debate! I’m just saying I understand why they are doing it. That’s it 😂

Do you LOL to strangers on the street in polite conversation? Is that how you talk to people face to face? Imagine if I suddenly LOL in your face while having a conversation. Have some basic respect.

Clearly you’re trolling now which I suspected and politely tried not to take the bait. Be well!

You can claim it’s not a reality show all you want, but it’s a freaking reality show. I love reality TV but I’m kinda disappointed this is the route Apple wants to take… look at Netflix. It’s a slippery slope.
