Drama
All the drama.50-60 minute episodes. Fantasic shows. I wouldn't consider myself a sci-fi fan, but this list suggests otherwise.
I'm not usually a sci-fi fan, but this show had me hooked immediately. Rebecca Fergusson does a phenomonal job in the role, and I can't wait to see what they do for Season 3 and 4
Silo (2023) | Apple TV
Push through the first episode, and you'll be rewarded with one of the best shows on TV. It's such a unique concept done really really well. The cast is amazing, the cinematography amazing, writing amazing, and show superb
Severance (2022) | Apple TV
Rhea Seahorn (you might recognize her from Better Call Saul) is so compelling. The thought of being one of the only humans left on earth is such an interesting concept, and having to navigate it. I love it so much.
Pluribus (2025) | Apple TV
Paul Rudd and Will Ferrell in a psychological drama? Yes please. The acting is great, the story is so interesting, and it's based on a podcast that's based on real life.
The Shrink Next Door (2021) | Apple TV
I love Brie Larson so much. This is such a beautifully told story. It's only a miniseries so you can binge it in a weekend.
Lessons in Chemistry (2023) | Apple TV
So much of what Sharon Horgan works on is pure gold. Bad Sisters is no exception. It's centered on a group of sisters as they navigate the murder of one of their husbands.

Comedy
A mix of dark comedies, dramedies, and the ever-delightful Ted Lasso *BELIEVE*
One of the very first Apple TV shows that I watched. Kumail and Emily are involved as producers. Each episode tells a story of how an immigrant navigated their way in America. Such a beautiful watch
Little America (2020) | Apple TV
A murder mystery show, where each episode is told from the perspective of a different character in a genre that reflects their personality. Such a fun watch
The Afterparty (2022) | Apple TV
They only made one season of this show. It was such a unique concept and followed Rashida Jones try and piece together her husband's disappearance with their personal robot.
Sunny (2024) | Apple TV
If you're a fan of musicals and musical comedy, then this show is for you. Keegan Michael Key and Cecily Strong are lost and stumble upon Schmigadoon, and soon realize they're trapped and have to figure out how to escape. It's a lot of fun
Schmigadoon! (2021) | Apple TV

Starring Rose Byrne as a neurotic mother and entrepreneur, who starts a fitness empire whilst struggling with her relationships and an eating disorder.

This show has so much heart, warmth, and character growth. It's so hard to pick a favorite character or character dynamic cause they're all so great.

Chris O'Dowd is so great and endearing. This show was full of mystery and intrigue as each character grappled with what their potential was, and how they were meant to live up to it
The Big Door Prize (2023) | Apple TV
