And the other streaming services don’t make you set up an account with a user ID, password, verification, etc?

Are you really that stupid?
They've said nothing stupid on this thread. In fact, they could not be more crystal clear in their facts.

While we're on the subject of Apple TV+ and how reasonable the price is, I just want to take the opportunity to highly recommend CODA, this year's Sundance smash which very easily could have ended up in theaters, or could be commanding a $20 rental fee as a digital release, if Apple hadn't spent a festival record $25 million for the distribution rights.

Can't wait until Friday for this, until I watch a film I can't really offer thoughts on bits and pieces.
Enjoy it all!

ACL2006 said: "Any free trials for Apple TV?"
As far as I'm aware, Apple TV+ (Apple TV is a device) still offers a one-week free trial. Come From Away won't have anywhere near the same impact on the service that Hamilton (allegedly) had with Disney+, so there's no reason for them to eliminate free trials.

You can watch from your computer with a free trial - tv.Apple.com""
I don't know if dramamama611 was being sarcastic, but it does illustrate the confusion between Apple TV and Apple TV+ among a lot of people (contrary to to popular belief, the bulk majority of people don't own a Mac or iPhone). Apple TV is a physical device, that is loaded with software for streaming to a TV. Apple TV+ is a stand alone streaming service that can be accessed online and does not require the Apple TV device. Functionally, it is similar to Disney+, Discovery+, Hulu, etc.

You can literally cancel once you watch it and only pay the $5. It really ain’t difficult. "
Are you really that stupid? What if it two months I want to watch it again? I have to pay again (or rather, now I have to pay). Then what if I want to watch it again 5 months after that? I have to pay again. Rinse, then repeat. The alternative is to maintain the subscription, in which case I still spend more money than I would on a DVD or blu-ray, the difference being it's significantly more in a shorter amount of time."
There is another option. Simply buy a video game capture device, and you can record everything that is streamed through your TV or computer and store it on an external drive. Pay for a single month and you're set. That's how I've created my personal library (that is NOT shared with anyone) of musicals and movies, which will soon include Come From Away...

I really enjoyed it on stage but it doesn't work in this filmed version, I don't think. The simplicity of the staging -- two rows of chairs for an airplane, etc. -- feels off, as do the performances. Some of the actors finesse the weirdness of playing to a theater but with a camera in their faces for a close-up (I thought Hatch was as good here as on stage) but Colella, in particular, seems forced.

I always felt Hatch should've received a Tony nomination. Colella is great in the role, but definitely overrated. If that makes any sense!

I think Apple TV has a bright future.

It's finally out! Thoughts below everyone.
And don't forget, Come From Away will perform on Good Morning America this morning, and at the Lincoln Memorial tonight for a full concert version of the show!

Same thing in “Wherever We Are”: “…and we are all freaking the freak out!”
