On Apple TV+, it’s quality, not quantity, that matters. Here are the best original series, from award-winning dramas to sci-fi dystopias.
Last Updated: February 11th Apple TV+ may only have a handful of original series right now, but the rookie streaming platform knows it’s quality, not quantity, that really matters. That’s why Apple’s invested in some big-name stars headlining some award-worthy dramas, sci-fi series, and feel-good anthologies. From names like Witherspoon, Aniston, Carell, and Momoa to boundary-pushing storytelling centering on sci-fi dystopias, a #MeToo workplace fallout, and a modern re-telling of a historical icon, there’s something for everyone on Apple TV+ if you know where to look. And we’re here to help with that last part. Here are the best shows streaming on Apple TV+ right now, ranked. Related: The Best Shows On Disney+ Right Now 1 season,10 episodes| IMDb: 8.4/10 Perhaps the most-talked-about show on Apple’s original slate is this comedy series starring Reese Witherspoon, Steve Carell, and Jennifer Aniston that’s already racked in a ton of awards. Aniston plays Alex Levy, a veteran co-anchor of a popular morning show whose partner of 15-years, Mitch Kessler (Carell) is fired amidst sexual harassment accusations. Witherspoon’s younger, plucky field reporter is quickly picked to take Mitch’s place and Alex is forced to defend her job and find her new place ion the show. 1 season,8 episodes| IMDb: 8.5/10 Chris Evans leads an impressive cast in this crime drama filled with twists and murder. Evans plays an Assistant District Attorney named Andy Barber whose son, Jacob (Jaeden Martell), is accused of stabbing his classmate to death in the woods near their home. Michelle Dockery plays Jacob’s mom, Laurie, and most of the suspense comes from watching this “perfect” family unit begin to crumble under the trauma of an investigation and ensuing trial. Evans holds up well as a man who will do anything for his son even as he keeps (potentially damning) secrets that threaten his family’s safety, and Dockery is put through the emotional wringer as she begins to view her child, and her entire life, in a more sinister light.
