My husband already had an Apple ID account, and a credit card connected to it from the iTunes days. That card was old, and before we could use the ID they did make us change it to a CC that was in date.
BUT it hasn't charged the card for any of this, it is properly free, as long as you just play the shows, and you don't click the "free trial option" (which would be free for the trial period, but they'd charge after that unless you cancelled).
So yes, if you don't want them to give you a CC you can't use the free trial, unfortunately.
We watched Wolfs tonight. Only watchable because it's George Clooney and Brad Pitt, and even that is getting a bit tired.

I bet it's an east coast thing.

I’m on the west coast and have been using Apple TV since Friday. While this information is late, I did read last night that the free Apple TV was for people with an Apple ID, ie people with an iPhone or iPad. Of which, I’m an Apple iPhone and iPad user. So, I have an Apple ID that the free weekend connects to. It wasn’t presented that way in the first article I read. The first article just said free Apple TV this weekend, without any conditions attached.

The Instigators was not good. Not awful, but not good.

Thanks, Kookliebird. That makes sense. Though stupid not to let people who don't have apple try it for free, too.

Is anybody else watching "Silo"? My sister started watching it a while back and got so interested she bought the books it is based on. I've read the first book and saw the first episode but not sure I care enough to read more or watch more. It's okay. Just not my thing, I guess.

I managed to finish 2 seasons of Shrinking this evening. It’s the only thing I watched. So very good. Had me in tears a few times, followed by laughter. I really enjoyed it. So much so, that I’m thinking when Season 3 drops, I may have to do a 1month Apple+ subscription just to see it.

We are interested in Silo, but are waiting until we have finished some other shows. I’ll probably do a free trial then subscribe for a month or two. Not sure I’m up to Shrinking..

I finished two seasons of Ted Lasso and 7 episodes of season three. With time running out on the free weekend, I skipped ahead and watched the final episode before I fell asleep last night. It was a really good series.

I'm watching Silo. I didn't realize all of season 2 hasn't dropped yet . And likely more seasons. So cliff hanger expected. It's okay for the apocolyptic type of shows.

Silo is pretty good. Apple TV leans heavily into science fiction and dystopian shows with mixed results.
Severance is very good.

I never like Silo in the first few episodes but then I get hooked again. Same thing with Severance. It is such an unusual storyline that it takes a bit to get into. Or not - it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

I watched season 1 of severance and as I recall it gets good right as it ends and just leaves you hanging! So I'll try season 2 and hope it's not quite a slow to get there.

I really like Severance. In fact, I’m re-watching it again before the second season. It’s a very interesting concept. However, I agree that it’s slow in some respects and there isn’t a lot of action. Lots of interesting things to think about though.
