The Morning Show

This story offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the lives of the dedicated team responsible for getting America’s day started, and the unusual hurdles they overcome.

Since its debut in 2019, the Emmy Award-winning drama The Morning Show has been a cornerstone of Apple TV+’s original programming. The show’s fourth season was a global hit this fall, and continues to attract a large audience even weeks after the finale aired.

As a total TV buff, I have to say The Morning Show is seriously good. The cast is incredible – Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Jon Hamm, and Steve Carell all bring their A-game. It’s won four Emmys, and Billy Crudup absolutely kills it as Cory Ellison, snagging two of those awards himself. Honestly, it’s been a huge hit with both viewers and critics, so if you’re looking for something to binge-watch on Apple TV, this is it.

Slow Horses

A team of flawed but dedicated MI5 agents works to protect the UK from dangerous threats, battling deception and intrigue along the way.

Apple TV+’s Slow Horses has been a popular hit throughout Fall 2025. The show, which began in 2022, recently launched its fifth season to rave reviews and boasts a 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Fans can look forward to two more seasons as well.

With five seasons and only 30 episodes – each around 45 minutes long – Slow Horses is a quick and enjoyable binge-watch, easily finished in a week. This popular dark comedy, starring Gary Oldman, has even won 2 Emmys, making it a must-see for anyone who loves spy thrillers.

Loot

Okay, so I just heard about this new show and the premise is fantastic. It’s about a woman named Molly who, after a 20-year marriage ends in divorce, suddenly finds herself with a massive $87 billion settlement. Instead of just, you know, buying everything, she decides to actually do something with the money, getting involved with her charitable foundation and trying to find her place in the world again. It sounds like a really interesting journey of rediscovery for her, and I’m already hooked!

Apple TV+’s comedy series Loot, starring Maya Rudolph, has been a hit with some viewers but hasn’t appealed to everyone. The third season ends this Wednesday, December 10th. While Apple hasn’t renewed the show for a fourth season yet, it also hasn’t officially cancelled it.

While Loot hasn’t received the same critical praise as Apple TV+ hits like Ted Lasso and Shrinking, it’s still a very enjoyable and funny show – especially if you’re a fan of Maya Rudolph. The show’s third season received a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, meaning if it is the last season, it’s ending strong.

Silo

I’m fascinated by this story! It’s about people living in a massive underground silo, and everything they do is governed by strict rules. They’ve been told these rules are there to keep them safe from the world outside, which is supposedly poisoned and destroyed. It makes you wonder what’s really going on up there, though.

Apple TV has quickly become known for its high-quality science fiction shows in recent years, and Silo is a prime example. Along with hits like Severance and For All Mankind, Silo is a standout series that any sci-fi enthusiast should definitely check out.

As a huge fan of captivating sci-fi, I’ve been completely hooked on Silo. The cast is incredible – Rebecca Ferguson is phenomenal, and it’s great to see actors like David Oyelowo, Tim Robbins, and Harriet Walter involved. Critics seem to agree it’s a winner, with a 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and it’s already earned a couple of Emmy nominations! It’s currently two seasons in, but the best part? Apple has already greenlit at least two more, so it’s one of those shows you can really sink your teeth into and get lost in for a while.

Platonic

Two former best friends, now adults, reconnect and attempt to resolve the issues that caused them to stop speaking.

Everyone’s talking about Seth Rogen’s Emmy-winning series, The Studio, on Apple TV+. However, his other comedy series with Rose Byrne, Platonic, is actually just as funny – and maybe even funnier.

The comedy series Platonic has received high praise, earning a 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Its second season, released earlier this year, achieved a perfect 100% score, making it ‘Certified Fresh.’ With only two seasons currently available (and a third on the way), it’s a quick and fun watch, especially for fans of comedy.
