It's either. Possum is just shortened from Opossum in North America. That's the layman explanation. Technically, Opossums are the NA variety while Possums are found in Australia and New Zealand.

Ahhh, no kidding? I didn't know anything about the game other than what I've read about in stuff about the show. But I really liked The Girl With All the Gifts so now I'm looking forward to this one.

How dare you imply that just ANY guy could pull off that masterclass? That's the great Terence Stamp!

Two hours? And they stayed intact when you smashed them? Wow! Impressive.

Ironically, I've tried a few times to get into The Expanse, and I just couldn't. I know it's me because everyone raves about it (kinda like I do about For All Mankind), and that makes me sad because I really want to like it.

We certainly are a dumbed-down society, aren't we?

Do yourself a favor and watch For All Mankind.
You're not totally wrong. As a whole, I dislike Apple. But I originally got a free trial to watch Greyhound (not bad either) and then explored some other stuff. My opinion of the service has always been similar to yours in that I thought they really lacked significant content. But I also knew, as you said, much of their stuff contains visually pleasing cinematography, etc. So in a way, I kinda respect that (that hurt a little bit to say).
