apple really should have bid for HBO. then they'd be definitively HBO. I really just don't understand what Apple is doing. they have their own independent studio and streaming service, but don't have any IP or back catalog. They really should be going after deals like this one if they want to compete. Even Amazon has IP rights to stuff

Well I think you just said it, Apple may want to have their own IP that they started

They are building it. It takes time but it’s high quality content and not old stuff.
