China: A show you are hosting is making us out to be authoritarian dictators. Stop it.
Apple: Yes, daddy!

Does any show on Apple TV have any buzz outside of Ted Lasso or Morning Wars?

Their shows are good too so not saying that's the problem. I just don't think people care lol

There's not a lot of pundit/satirical news shows on streaming either. Joel McHale had a Soup spiritual successor on Netflix that was decent, but it flopped hard. It's not really the format people go for.

Also, The Problem only had like 20 episodes total.

I love Severance but it definitely doesn't feel mainstream to me. As much as it deserves to be anyway. I've only seen it talked about on Reddit.

Comedy central had Colbert and Stewart back to back, no problem. So why not? All 3 shows are different enough.

lol Apple is so in the pocket of China.

I don't think it necessarily had to do with the actual content, just the views. Apple canceled several shows of different genres at the same time, not just The Problem.

Politics satire shows tend to not do well on streaming in general.

Actually, I should restate that.

"Creative differences" does imply it had to do with content, but I think the bigger issue was that the show didn't gain enough viewers in order to give it a long leash. If it was more popular, they probably wouldn't have cared as much.

I don't like Maher because he says stuff I don't agree with. I'd rather see Stewart in his spot.

Fuck Apple for trying to get rid of people who just want to talk their piece.

I thought Silo got some buzz when it was on? My friends were talking about it at least, maybe we are just nerds. As others pointed out, Severance was pretty big.

I am watching Invasion right now. It is pretty bad, but I cant seem to stop watching it to see what happens.

John Stewart is great, so him with less of a platform is a loss.
