Although Apple is regularly criticised for not having enough content, the service operates at pace with new releases premiering almost every week, across drama, comedy, documentary and family entertainment genres. The Apple TV+ catalog now topping 275 original TV shows and movies; you can see everything here. Naturally, much of it goes under the radar.
Here’s five recommendations of shows to watch, that you might have missed if you haven’t been subscribed for a while.
Masters of the Air
A tight nine-episode World War II drama from the perspective of the skies, with a star-studded cast including Austin Butler, Callum Turner, Anthony Boyle and Barry Keoghan. Based on real events, these characters lead the 100th Bomb Group, which was nicknamed the Bloody Hundredth due to its obscenely high fatality rate. With stunning visuals and sound, all of the consequences of air warfare are brought to the fore in this limited series.
Presumed Innocent
Jake Gyllenhaal leads this legal thriller as state prosecutor Rusty Sabich, who sees himself on trial as the prime suspect in the murder of a female colleague. The show follows Sabich as he gets caught in a web of his own lies, while also trying to prove his innocence. While the show was renewed for a second season, don’t fear about being left hanging — the mystery of the first season is self-contained and fully concluded by the end of the eight episodes available now.
Your Friends & Neighbors
This comedic drama is ongoing, and sees Jon Hamm plays Coop, a hedge fund manager down on his luck, who has lost his wife and lost his job. To sustain his lavish lifestyle, he turns to petty crime and steals the belongings of his neighbors, like designer handbags, expensive wines and watches. Along the way, Coop sees more than he bargained for, with infidelity and hidden motives of his neighbors also revealed. Catch up now and watch along weekly with the finale airing May 30.
The Studio
If you like the business of Hollywood at all, The Studio will make you laugh at the absurdity of the industry. The show is packed with cameos and in-jokes, but is still accessible enough for anyone to enjoy. Seth Rogen stars as Matt Remick, the head of Continental Studios, who is fighting to keep his studio profitable and relevant. The show perfectly satirizes the clashing motives of talent and studio executives, all in the name of trying to make a good movie.
Severance
The unique sci-fi thriller made a big splash with season two, and is predicted to lead the upcoming TV awards season. Severance season two wrapped up its second season last month, so now is a great time to catch up if you’ve never seen the show before. In the show, employees at Lumon Industries undergo a surgical procedure which separates work memories from personal memories, so they have no idea about what they are doing at work and vice versa. Mark Scout (Adam Scott) turns from devout company man to a insurgent rebel, as the secrets of Lumon are gradually revealed.
So there’s some recommendations, but of course there’s a lot more to explore — and you have new shows and movies airing all the time.
If you get the $2.99 for 3 months deal, you’ll also be able to watch upcoming releases like French food drama Carême, sci-fi comedy Murderbot, new adventure movie Fountain of Youth, golf comedy Stick starring Owen Wilson, and more.
