It is commendable how Apple TV+ has consistently delivered quality sci-fi television content, but the streamer still seems to have a long way to go. TV shows like Silo have been showing promising numbers in demand, but that does not necessarily translate to massive viewership. Also, given how Apple TV+ launched relatively recently compared to giants like Netflix, there are fewer eyes on its shows, regardless of how high they rank in terms of their ratings and quality. To ensure that audiences keep engaging with its compelling offerings to the sci-fi genre, Apple TV+ must consistently deliver top-notch content.

Apart from that, like Silo and Severance, Apple TV+'s future science fiction shows must continue breaking new ground and pushing boundaries to expand the diversity of its viewership. One way to achieve this would be by branching out sci-fi into other popular sub-genres, like Severance merges science fiction with workplace satire, and Silo fuses it with mystery and political drama. If Apple TV+ continues to expand its genre offering without compromising on quality, it could effectively build its brand identity around science fiction and maybe even start a new wave of smart sci-fi on television.

    I really wanted to like Foundation. Something about the acting and especially the writing seemed off. It just didn’t work. The Brothers were the best part of the show. The Salvor Hardin character just felt too forced. Forced acting and forced writing.
