You only walk the tightrope if you’re desperate… or if you’re not plotting anything new

Ridley Scott, the renowned director and producer, and his company Scott Free will be responsible for the production of the series, highlighting the first-look deal they have with Apple TV+. This agreement further strengthens the collaboration between the acclaimed filmmaker and the streaming platform, which seeks to diversify its original content offering through successful literary adaptations.

High Wire has been well received by critics, and the television adaptation is expected to maintain the suspense and intrigue that characterize Fox’s work. The author has gained international recognition thanks to her captivating narratives and well-developed characters, raising expectations about how her style will translate to the television format.

With this acquisition, Apple TV+ continues its strategy of investing in quality original content, hoping to attract diverse audiences and consolidate its position in a competitive streaming series and movie market.

We’re back to Lumon Industries

Severance introduces us to the world of Lumon Industries, where employees have undergone a surgical procedure that separates their work memories from their personal ones, creating a forced balance that is put to the test when the protagonist, Mark Scout (played by Adam Scott), becomes involved in a mystery that questions the nature of his work and his identity.

The new season promises to deepen into the “terrible consequences” of blurring the line between work and personal life, suggesting that the challenges for Mark and his team will only intensify. The series features performances by Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Zach Cherry, Jen Tullock, Michael Chernus, Dichen Lachman, and award-winning figures John Turturro, Christopher Walken, and Patricia Arquette, who return to their roles. In addition, the second season welcomes Sarah Bock in a new role that will surely add more dynamism to the story.

Ben Stiller not only remains as executive producer, but also directs five out of the ten episodes of this season, accompanied by a talented team of directors including Uta Bresiewitz, Sam Donovan, and Jessica Lee Gagné. Dan Erickson, the series creator, continues as a writer and executive producer, ensuring the cohesion and narrative depth that characterized the first season.

The controversy of the day is the new iPad advertisement. But why?

The latest to fall has been the iPad Pro, which emerges as the market’s most incredibly thin tablet for those who care about such things. The issue wasn’t that, but rather the announcement to present it, which has been too destructive even for the company’s fans.

The usual mechanics of Apple, year after year, you already know what it is: they announce a new model of a device that slightly improves on the previous one, launch a flashy ad, and wait for all their loyal customers to buy it. And repeat ad infinitum. The latest to fall has been the iPad Pro, which is born as the thinnest tablet on the market for those who care about such things. The problem has not been that, but the announcement to present it, which has been too destructive even for the company’s fans.

iDestruction

The key to the announcement of the iPad was clear: everything fits in the tablet, from musical composition to WhatsApp. And, for this, its creatives have been inspired by these fascinating videos that TikTok occasionally recommends to you, in which a hydraulic press destroys all kinds of things. The problem is that this time what a very rich company has destroyed are cultural goods, and the bravado has not been well received precisely.

The hydraulic press breaks a trumpet, a piano, an arcade machine, several paint cans, a metronome, or a mixer table, among others, to press them into an iPad. And what Apple thought would be read as “Everything is inside”, many have read it as “The iPad wants to destroy art” or simply as a crude way to destroy objects for promotional purposes that could instead be used by people with limited resources to create it.

Obviously, the problem comes from one of the biggest companies in the world wanting to enter a meme based on destroying things valued at thousands of euros as if it were just loose change for them. Personally, I don’t think it’s a big deal, it’s just an advertisement, but I understand where all this is coming from: Apple has no right to make this kind of viral ads showing the obscene amount of money they can destroy just for fun. It’s not the end of the apple company, far from it, but it is a gesture of disgust that would have been unthinkable years ago. The times are changing.
