Where is the list of episodes on Apple TV+?

So, I joined Apple TV+ to watch "Foundation". I can access the "next" show, but I feel like I missed something from the last couple of shows and want to go back.


I can't.


I'm going to discontinue my subscription to this piece of junk that is so complicated to navigate that I have no clue what it is I'm looking at. Who needs a subscription to a venue that only demands you subscribe again and again and again to something new. The offerings are generally crap. Even "Foundation" is like a third rate Sci-Fi story. Greyhound, even though it had Tom Hanks -- POS!


All I want is to see a list of the Foundation episodes so I can pick and choose the one I want. But Noooo.... Apple will let me pick up where I left off, but no going backward.

That does complicate navigation.


I'm shown "suspicion" at least a dozen times.

It is new, and thereby noteworthy, and why it gets the limelight.

To see the episode list, go to the Details page of a show, the main page about the show, not episode specific.

  • You can navigate to tv+, scroll down to the Epic Sci-Fi row, and find Foundation there.
  • You can use Search to get to the Details page of Foundation
  • You can click-and-hold the Foundation tile in Up Next, then select View Details in the contextual menu.


On the Details page, below the splash/‘hero’ image, you’ll find each episode listed, in one long horizontally scrollable row. The tiles are clickable as usual to start that content.

Ok, I found episode 6 (on Safari on my Mac, couldn't figure out how to get it to play on my Apple TV -- the little box) I want to see 7 now. I'm shown 8 half way through because i got that far once, but I want to see 7. TV spins and spins and spins.


I'm shown "suspicion" at least a dozen times. Where the **** is "Foundation"?


Ah, there it is after going round and round though all kinds of stuff.


I don't know if I'm watching it in Apple TV or in Safari. I finally got episode 7 to start on my laptop, but I want to watch on my big screen TV not on my laptop.


This is so confusing.


Oh Great! I went to system preferences and clicked on "Displays" suddenly there's "something" on my Big Screen.

Nothing is playing though. It shows some kind of an "intro" screen where I have the option of an "episodes" button.


Now the show is playing on TV (the app) -AND- on Safari at the same time on my laptop. But not on my Big screen (which has an apple TV box)


My phone says "Choose a TV" but only shows the Apple TV that is in my out building 100 ft away not the one right in front of me. It was working an hour ago.


Well, the Big Screen through my Apple TV box, says "episode 8", but 7 is still playing on my laptop. I try using my phone as a remote, it still won't connect.


I shut off the AppleTV+ and Safari version on my laptop.


Got out my old silver remote. There's an option for "episodes". Click on that and I can choose 7.

OK, episode 7 takes up where it was playing on my laptop.


What a mess.
