free 1 year apple TV

I am new to Apple TV. Bought a new Mac Air and received a year free for Apple TV. Not sure how this works. I go into settings to verify this. I go onto the site and the movies still say rent or download. Are these not free for a year? Not sure what I'm doing. Please help!

The offer is for Apple TV+, the channel featuring Apple Original content. Other content in the Apple TV app is not included in the subscription. E.g. iTunes Store movies and TV shows for buy or rent will have to be payed for separately.
