Almost 100 million people watched the Superbowl last weekend. If you were one of them, you may have noticed ads for broadcast and cable shows that also include logos of streaming services.

Shows could be hailed as a "breakthrough" or "most popular" based on selective numbers released by a streamer, just don't confuse a puffed-up press release with actual total audience size.

At $7 a month, or free for Verizon customers, Disney+ seems like a steal. But unlike some of the other streaming services, it won't have a ton of new content upon debut. It will, however, offer an unrivaled library. Will that be enough to get subscribers to sign up, and more importantly, stay subscribed?

The reviews for 'The Morning Show' and the three other series that land later this week probably aren't what Apple was hoping for. But if the shows get more people into the Apple TV ecosystem, the reviews may not matter so much.
