I probably won’t watch it again though, and there’s not a lot on CBS All Access we’re interested in so will probably drop it until there’s a new Picard season.
I have AppleTV also and like it as well (compared to FireTV first generation that it replaced). The remote has taken some getting used to (slippery little thing: need to look into a silicon case so it stays put and is a little easier to hold).
AppleTV+ has some decent content. Enjoyed The Morning Show, See, Little America, Dickinson, For All Mankind. Have yet to check out some of the newer stuff.

I enjoyed For All Mankind. I didn’t much enjoy The Morning Show, but then I have never been a Jennifer Aniston fan. See was OK too. I watched a bit of Dickinson but never got into it, I must correct that. I pretty much havent looked at ATV+ since those shows finished for the season. Servant was... odd... I thought.
With regard to Picard... its slow moving at first. I liked it maybe because I like Patrick Stewart in almost anything he does. I don’t think having stuck with Star Trek through all its later seasons would have helped... it didnt make any difference to me. I’ll be watching the second season but TBH I don't think there will be a third, the man is getting on, and he’s looking and sounding quite frail. I hope he lasts the distance.
