Jake Hodges is a senior author at Collider who focuses on the latest releases, from broadcast TV to upcoming movies, with expertise in Doctor Who.
Though Apple TV+ is still pretty new to the game, it's quickly established itself as one of the best streaming services around, with critically acclaimed shows like Ted Lasso and Severance. Whether you're looking for something to watch with the whole family, a thrilling mystery to take your mind off the real world, or some good old-fashioned star-studded prestige drama, we've got you covered with the highlight picks on Apple's streaming service.
Cast Jake Gyllenhaal , Tate Birchmore , Kingston Rumi Southwick , Roberta Bassin Based on Scott Turow’s 1987 novel of the same name, Presumed Innocent follows Jake Gyllenhaal’s renowned prosecutor, Rusty, whose legacy at the Chicago Prosecuting Attorney’s Office makes him one of the most admired in the state. However, said legacy — and the entire office’s — are brought into disrepute when a particularly horrific murder case has Rusty as the prime suspect. Reimagined by the brilliant David E.
Created by Monica Beletsky, Manhunt is a historical drama miniseries following the hunt for John Wilkes Booth after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Adapted from James L. Swanson's book Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer, the show stars Tobias Menzies, Lovie Simone, Patton Oswalt, and more, with Anthony Boyle as Booth and Hamish Linklater as Lincoln.
Release Date February 14, 2024 Creator Todd A. Kessler Cast Ben Mendelsohn , Glenn Close , Juliette Binoche , Maisie Williams , Emily Mortimer Read Our Review The show premiered in 2021 and was praised for its voice actors, a cast composed of very well-known names in entertainment. With appearances by Aubrey Plaza , Rosario Dawson , Joey King , Edi Patterson , Judy Greer , Ben Schwartz , and Karen Gillan , it's almost as fun to figure out whose voice is whose as it is to figure out the mystery of each episode. - Emily Cappello 'Prehistoric Planet' Rotten Tomatoes: 90% | IMDb: 8.
Based on the novel written by Walter Mosley, The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey tells the story of Grey , a 91-year-old man whose sudden return of his memory allows him to investigate the death of his nephew. Now being cared for by Robyn , Grey rushes to use his long-forgotten memories before they're gone again. Created by original author Mosley, the show premiered on Apple TV+ in 2022.
When Maximo gets a job at the hottest resort in Acapulco, he quickly realizes that it's much more complicated than he previously thought. The Apple TV+ show Acapulco, based on the 2017 film How To Be A Latin Lover, follows Maximo through the trials and tribulations of learning this new job, as well as his demanding new clientele. Created by Eduardo Cisneros , Jason Shuman , and Austin Winsberg , Acapulco premiered in 2021.
Appealing to the wholesome and progressive humor of adult animated shows like Bob’s Burgers and The Great North, Central Park welcomes viewers into the life of yet another working-class American family with intriguing and rambunctious children, while allowing the plot to unfold over the season instead of limiting shenanigans to a single-episode storyline.
Based on Victor LaValle’s novel of the same name, The Changeling is a gripping, thought-provoking puzzle that encourages its audience to put the pieces together episode by episode. Alongside a stellar cast, the always-terrific LaKeith Stanfield beautifully blends a sense of hope and despair, like he somehow expected the devastating events yet to hit him.
Dramatic, touching, and brilliantly funny, Shrinking is a refreshing series that never loses its heart. Supported by a star-studded cast, Shrinking is perhaps the best example of Harrison Ford’s late-career foray into comedy, with this series likely to make many wish Ford had worked in the genre for many years before he did. Managing to marry the discussion of devastatingly relatable issues with a cast of well-rounded characters without ever missing a comedic beat, Shrinking is simply a success.
A painfully real and emotionally moving series, Five Days at Memorial takes one of history’s most tragic events and holds a magnifying glass up to it, accentuating the very human loss at its core. Written with one eye on drama and another on sensitivity, both are expertly realized, with the technical triumph of the series never overshadowing its truthful poignancy.
In a time where financial inequality feels more prevalent than ever, Loot is a reminder that wealth does not equal happiness and provides a life-affirming story with kindness in its bones. Maya Rudolph is stunning as Molly Novak, managing to find a rare sense of reality in a billionaire, whilst also managing to sprinkle some of her signature comedic stardust in every scene. Refreshing, uplifting, and bags of fun, we can’t tell who is richer — Molly Novak or us for having seen this series.
Release Date March 25, 2022 Cast Jin Ha , Soji Arai , Jun-woo Han , In-ji Jeong Creator Soo Hugh Read Our Review Based on the New York Times bestselling novel by Min Jin Lee, Pachinko is a story spanning over 70 years and follows four generations in a Korean family. After leaving Korea to move to Osaka, Japan, the family soon realizes that, on the hunt for a better life, they have instead walked into a world of discrimination.
Release Date January 28, 2022 Cast Ben Schwartz , Ike Barinholtz , Dave Franco , Tiffany Haddish , Sam Richardson Seasons 2 Read Our Review Created by Christopher Miller and featuring an all-star cast, The Afterparty is a joyfully by-the-books murder mystery that takes place in the aftermath of the afterparty for a high school reunion. After the night ends in a fatal tragedy, Detective Danner is charged with rounding up each of the guests and grilling them to find out the truth.
Like The Horror of Dolores Roach, The Shrink Next Door is another example of the burgeoning podcast adaptation sub-genre, with this perhaps the most high-profile of the lot. Although the story is genuinely thought-provoking and rather terrifying, especially considering the real-life medical ramifications of the true tale, this series is brilliantly comic when at its best, making use of its star-studded cast with a set of devilishly funny leading performances.
Release Date August 14, 2020 Cast Jason Sudeikis , Juno Temple , Brett Goldstein , Jeremy Swift , Hannah Waddingham Seasons 3 Creator Brendan Hunt, Joe Kelly, Bill Lawrence Read Our Review A series that has taken the world by storm, Ted Lasso follows Jason Sudeikis in the titular role as a man with no knowledge of soccer who is hired to take charge of failing English Premier League AFC Richmond.
Beautiful, swooping, and with an eye for astronomically impressive cinematography, For All Mankind feels like the sci-fi series the world deserved. Managing to neatly balance the vast scope of its out-of-this-world plot and the intricate, nuanced relationships of its central cast, For All Mankind can pride itself on its ability to find something for everyone. Despite its placement in an alternate history, For All Mankind feels terrifyingly real.
