I generally agree, but there have been some really great ones. For All Mankind (from Apple) is in my opinion fantastic, and I don't think could have been done well without a big budget. Also from Apple, Ted Lasso was very good.

Apple put out quite a few good shows, For All Mankind, Severance, Invasion, even the soap opera-y The Morning Show is quite entertaining, Foundation is decent if you ignore that is not Asimov's story, it's its own thing.

They've acquired HBO's prestige from the past to me, meaning if they release something I will at least check it out because the chances of it being at least decent entertainment is quite high.

HBO still lingers with some quality shows but it's far away from their 90s-2000s days (The Wire, True Detective, Band of Brothers, etc.).

One of the things I do like about Apple is that even if a big budget show like See doesn't prove to be a hit, they don't immediately kill it and you get a conclusion to the story.

Apple kind of an outlier here, they're purposefully trying to take over HBO's former role in media landscape as a prestige content brand and aren't as focused on ROI.
