Apple TV+ six months later: How does Apple’s streaming service hold up?

Last spring, Apple officially took the wraps off the service we all knew was coming: Apple TV+. The premium streaming service clearly had designs on competing with Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and the rest of an increasingly crowded market. The first handful of shows were available on November 1, 2019, and a new show or movie has been released every few weeks since then.

So how is Apple doing? Half a year in, is Apple TV+ a must-have streaming service, or can you ignore it without missing much? So far, Apple has landed somewhere in-between. If we were giving Apple a letter grade, it would is severely lacking, and the service hasn’t found it’s break-out hit yet.
