For most of the past two years, it's been hard to know what to make of Apple TV+. Arguably, it has a handful of great shows. The Morning Show, with Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, and Steve Carrell, got most of the early attention, but it was Ted Lasso, the refreshing hit about an American football coach hired to coach a struggling soccer club, that won over audiences.Apple also hasn't been shy about going after big names and big projects. Still, it's not entirely clear what sets the newbie streaming service apart, especially when compared to established players like Netflix, with its extensive content library and push into original content. Now, however, Apple TV+ has one thing Netflix doesn't: an Oscar for Best Picture.
