I think they’re saying that the Apple-produced version is what’s crap. I recall seeing pretty universal praise before when it was just a segment on Corden’s show.
Honestly, everyone should have seen this coming from a mile away (it sucking, that is). Taking a minor segment from a talk show that succeeded virally largely because of its spontenaiety and shoehorning into Apple’s very conservative ecosystem just seemed doomed to failure. Especially as a tentpole for their entire streaming video production push. Netflix and Amazon both went super-big with theirs combining “prestige” shows, high-visibility film production, comedy specials, Spanish-language programming, etc. I just don’t see Apple giving it the steam it needs to succeed. Especially if it sucks.
