On its second anniversary, Apple TV+ is in a good place

1 November, 2021

One massive hit, a handful of smaller ones, and a promising 2022 slate signal good things are in store for the Apple TV+ streaming service.

Before it launched on November 1, 2019, there was skepticism from various quarters about the prospects of the Apple TV+ streaming service. Some questioned what Apple knew about producing TV shows, while a scathing piece in Gizmodo denounced the service as "expensive NBC."

Two years after its launch, Apple TV+ appears to be in a strong position. While it still almost certainly trails Netflix when it comes to eyeballs, Apple's streaming service has one big hit, several other smaller ones, and it has won lots of awards.
