The previous year, the platform was awarded 13 Emmys, solidifying its reputation as one of the most consistent hit producers among streaming services.
Apple TV+ offers a wide range of original stories and carefully selected adaptations, featuring both big names and rising talents. Whether you're looking for a warm comfort or a thought-provoking sci-fi series, you can find something to suit every mood on the platform. Here are seven amazing Apple TV+ series that you'll wish you had discovered sooner.
One of the series, Shrinking, introduces viewers to Jimmy Laird (Jason Segel), a widower who falls into a deep depression after the death of his wife. His daughter is angry with him, neighbors pity him, and friends struggle to reach out. Ironically, he works as a therapist while being unable to grieve himself. Jimmy is different from other therapists; he lays out harsh truths without sugarcoating them. While this method works for his clients, it doesn’t take long for Jimmy to realize that he needs to heal himself.
The series Ted Lasso takes place right in the middle of the football (British style) season. Coach Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) experiences a cultural shock when he is chosen to manage the struggling A.F.C. Richmond. Although Southern hospitality doesn’t quite align with Richmond's sarcastic humor, over time, Coach Lasso wins his team over with kindness. In addition to gaining trust, Coach Lasso and his loyal assistant Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt) learn to become better coaches for themselves as well. One of the most important lessons from Ted Lasso is "be curious, not judgmental."
