>Almost every other scene contains an apple product.

Gasp. It's almost like it's paid for by apple.

Is that so! Never realised that when I subscribed to Apple TV to watch it. Lol. Anyways, how does the show being paid by apple have to do anything with what I said? I am talking about advertisements. The number of time we see an apple product on the show kinda get's ridiculous. It was even reported.

Good for Apple, but when it's so frequent that it's distracting, it degrades the quality of the show.
It's almost like product placement has been a thing for a long time now.

Although sometimes these deals blow up in memorable ways.

>Microsoft has had some high profile flubs with its Surface product placement. During election coverage in 2014, CNN pundits were set up behind a row of Surfaces but were spotted surreptitiously using iPads. A partnership with the NFL backfired when Patriots coach Bill Bellicheck blasted them for being “undependable” in 2016.
