What's on Apple TV?

[Nathan]

I just bought a new iPad for DW, now have 3 months of free Apple TV. I browsed the programs but didn't see anything of interest. Maybe I'm just not being adventuresome enough, and need some prodding.
For Apple TV users: what programs would you recommend?

I enjoyed Tom Hanks “Greyhound”

The series Invasion begins very slow but progresses into a complex but really interesting sci fi. Tried the Jason Mamoa series Warrior King but was turned off by the dialog with no translation.

Murderbot (I couldn't get into the book but the series is really good)
Shrinking
Ted Lasso (and there will be another season; they're filming it now)
Loot (not sure if this has been renewed or not)

And 2 upcoming that look like they might be good: Last Frontier (Oct. 10) and Savant (Sept 26)

The Studio. Seth Rogan. Hilarious. Cleaned up at the Emmys.

Wow, can't believe I forgot Slow Horses! (It's been renewed.)

Chief of War, Bad Sisters, The Chosen, Foundation, For All Mankind, Invasion, Murderbot, The Morning Show, Shrinking, Slow Horses, The Studio, Ted Lasso, Your Friends and neighbors.... to name a few!

Not familiar with Warrior King.
If you mean Chief of War... on-screen English subtitles appear for the scenes where the characters speak Hawaiian.

Severance is blowing my mind. If you are into shows with a Twilight Zone vibe check it out. Give it three episodes though.

 

[That Lady in PA]

Sooooo many people LOVE Severance, but we did not 'get it' at all. Slogged through season 1, and gave up!

It won 10 Emmys to boot!
That said, I choose defiant jazz. (great scene)

I eventually gave up on Severance...life is too short.

My favorite Apple shows are The Morning Show and Slow Horses.

 

[Jules]

Shrinking
Ted Lasso (and there will be another season; they're filming it now)

Definitely worth watching, imo.
We started Studio and Severance and stopped. Would have renewed for a month, if needed. Quit watching prior to our free time being over.

We started Studio and Severance

I couldn't get into Studio either and have never tried Severance, seemed like it'd be too depressing.

 

[Nathan]

Wow, thanks for all your replies, looks like there's already enough viewing suggestions here to help me burn through my 3 month AppleTV trial.

For All Mankind was great. It's an alternate history where the Russians beat the US to the moon in 1969 and all the ripples that would cause. We thought it was a well done, very realistic portrayal of the early astronauts and their lifestyles.

Seth Rogan is an impressive writer/actor. The series had some cute ideas, and huge cooperation from Hollywood personnel. Some of the long takes were remarkable.
