Why is Apple TV+ so bad on Mac's?

Blank screens, freeze city, poor streaming, reboots and resets and still problematic. Thank God this is free, but what else can be done? I'm no beginner here, so please save the "make sure you Mac OS up to date" sequence...

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

First thing that I would check, is the Mac’s Internet connection speed.

Second thing that I would do, is evaluate the overall layout of the setup and connected devices that are know to cause Wi-Fi and Bluetooth issues.

Wouldn't be the problem as when I use my iPad, iPhone they work decently. But the second I use the "Mac" version, even on my New MacBook Pro 16", sorry but, the app is just horrible in general. FYI, I run a dedicated ethernet cable over a 20MB Internet connection. Blazing fast and most usually perfect for other streaming services such Netflix, AmazonPrime...


I'm just very surprised the Apple TV service is so variable and usually problematic. Maybe its just my region where video distribution servers may just be bad or average at the most... But then again, on iOS it's usually much better. How knows really. But thanks for your time.
