I don't get how these are "daytime" shows. I thought you could watch Apple TV+ shows any time you wanted.

But I don't have Apple TV+ so what do I know?

Long Way Up was fantastic. Daytime is interesting though. What does that mean in the age of streaming? I guess it’s synonymous with family friendly or more topical content (I.e. not movies or dramas etc.)
