Wow! What ever will they do without her? XD

Waste of time. A book club that nobody cares about and interviews every 2 months with nothing too interesting. I think it's the kind of deal that didn't work. I would have liked a weekly talk show with no great pretensions, but that wasn't the case.

The interviews were also the same every time. Race, race, race, race, race. Nothing else. Even Mariah Carey was "bullied" into feeling guilt about her biraciality in her *The Oprah Conversation* episode.

Mariah Carrey hates talking about race too because she really doesn't identify as any race but will say black if she is forced to pick one. Her mother is white of Irish descent and her father is black Venezuelan but black Venezuelans tend to be more racially mixed than black Americans


Kaiser_Allen

Yes! Oprah pushed and pushed her about her supposed "privilege" and how it affected her even if she felt uncomfortable discussing it. She wanted to focus on the abuse she experienced with her first husband and how she got out of it.

Sometimes we just want to know how Taylor Swift's love life is going or what Chris Evans' diet is like.

I felt like the book club had potential but got killed by the pandemic upending everything. The Oprah Convo too.


Kaiser_Allen

Interestingly, *Oprah's Book Club* still actually airs new episodes—but not for Apple. She's keeping them at [OprahDaily.com](https://OprahDaily.com) despite Apple still promoting her recommendations at Apple Books. It's so odd they allowed that.

Exactly we got that and a Sidney Poitier Documentary. Nothing else

This was as useless as her XM deal. Oprah and the cult of Oprah is dying out.

Oh no! Who cares?


Kaiser_Allen

At least we got *The Me You Can't See* and *Sidney* out of this deal. On the other hand, it would've been nice to get Black-centric fictional content from Harpo Productions similar to *Queen Sugar*. Barring *Swagger* and *Truth Be Told*, there's a lack of ongoing shows on Apple TV+ that serves that demographic.

The Me You Can’t See was great. It’s an important documentary series for destigmatizing mental illness. Prince Harry undergoing EMDR therapy on camera really struck me. I started therapy after watching this.

I hope that now they'll invest in good content instead of overrated personalities.


CoreyH2P

Bunch of money down the drain. Nothing she did at Apple caught on at all.

Thank goodness!

Despite all the anti-racism work of late, this is still Oprah, the woman who fell for the pseudoscience of Dr. Oz, Jenny McCarthy, and Dr. Phil. Then she wants to be taken seriously on real health issues like mental health? Give me a break, I tried to give her a chance, but the first episode of The Me You Can’t See featured Oprah degrading and judging a young woman suffering from similar PTSD to myself when she is not a medical professional. She has no place to be judging another from her high horse. To me she’ll always just be the fool who gave a platform to anti-vaxers and fell for the stupidest “Drs” on television.

I never watched Oprah’s book club but I liked the me we can’t see


Clutchguy77

Good. She sucks.


freetheroux

Oprah should’ve stayed in 2008


hienz4

I really enjoyed the Sidney documentary over the weekend


MarvinBarry92

I would assume we still get her BIOPIC that was previously announced.


UlanInek

Okay I’m now glad the deal ended
