Are these specific shows poor acting/editing or is it something else?

TLDR: What aspects go into Apple shows that separate the great from the hard to watch? How can foundation and for all mankind both be sci-fi but later seasons vary so greatly in quality?

It's my first time posting here. I hope this is an okay post. Please be kind- if you think my questions/comments are dumb, just move along. :)

There are some great apple shows that are well done from all aspects. I love slow horses, shrinking and most of the morning show.

There are a few that seem like they would be amazing but they just aren't. Specifically, for all mankind (later seasons,) seems like it could have been a banger (like foundation) but I kept getting reminded it was people acting rather than being pulled into the world. Also the latest season of Silo, and I noticed it again in the latest episode of dark matter.

I'm not judging people if they love these shows. I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this and if so, is it acting, editing, production, or something else about creating a show I'm not aware of. Now that I think of it, even the last episode of Ted lasso had a little bit of that something about it that seemed off. Is it the industry at large? Budget? Writing?

Again, thank you for taking the time to respond with kindness if you have insight into these things. I probably don't belong on Reddit because I get my feelings hurt easily but I'm willing to take the risk on this because I am genuinely curious.
Thanks. :)

Poster for the second season of Stick

In season two, Santi takes the next step in his pursuit of professional golf, only to discover how quickly the game changes when talent becomes expectation. As Santi chases his dream, Pryce finds himself wondering what might still be possible for him. Urged on by his former rival Clark Ross (Timothy Olyphant), Pryce does something nobody expects: he bets on himself, launching an improbable comeback in hopes of becoming the oldest golfer ever to win a major. But the road back proves far harder than he imagined. And the closer Pryce gets to the golfer he once was, the more he is forced to confront why he never fulfilled the promise everyone once saw in him. With brilliant new coach Amanda (Rhea Seehorn) and trusted caddie Mitts (Marc Maron) in his corner, Pryce sets out to prove — to the golf world and, more importantly, to himself — that maybe he really was as good as everyone always said he was.

Season 2 Release Date November 4, 2026

The type of Apple TV viewer, according to Parrot Analytics

The data was published on Puck and might explain, for example, the surprising renewal of Imperfect Women or new green lights in shows aimed at women and a Millennial audience. For now, however, I don't believe Apple will program for Gen Z.
