“No Sex Please, We’re Apple.” The WSJ is reporting that Apple’s upcoming streaming service will be strictly family-friendly, shying away from gratuitous sex, profanity, or violence. The programming will even try to stay away from political and religious subjects. Some employees say it’s just an expensive version of NBC.
WSJ notes that Tim Cook said the company’s Vital Signs show — based on Dr. Dre’s life — was “too violent” after watching it a year ago. “Apple can’t show this,” the report mentions. That’s not all. Bryan Fuller, the showrunner for Apple’s reboot of Steven Spielberg’s Amazing Stories, left the firm earlier in the year after a major conflict over Apple’s focus on family-friendly content.
