Brief Reviews - 3 of the best TV shows are on Apple TV - Foundation, Chief of War, The Morning Show

See trailers below.

These 3 shows are very good.

Foundation - A sci-fi show. Everything is pretty good on the show. It's not at the new Dune levels of cinematography and related work, but, pretty well done.  Deals w/ interesting ideas - using math to predict the future, cloned emperors, and a robot that lives for thousands of years.

Chief of War - A very good historical drama. Pre-colonial Hawaii islands. Well made. Dramatic. With some war and violence. 

The Morning Show - A drama-comedy about TV news. Overall very well done. Feels like a good HBO show from the 1990s. Several interesting minor characters. Also Mark Duplass from the indie film world plays a fun character - a stressed out news person who can freak out and do something crazy without warning.

No color grading, very simple video/cinematography. A more fleshed out movie than some recent Hong movies. In the movie a skit is prepped, and we actually get to see it performed. A couple of serious issues are discussed.  Some unexpected, light things happen. It’s a comedy-drama chill hangout movie w/ creative South Korean people - good times. Probably o...
