People ask me all the time, “which streamer should I subscribe to?” Near the very top of my list is one that you may have overlooked: Apple TV+. They may not have as much content as some of the other streamers, but when it comes to quality, few compare.

There’s no time like the present to catch up on the shows everyone is talking about, and get a first look at the shows your friends will be talking about in the near future.

Don’t believe me? Why not see for yourself? If you’re a new subscriber, you can try it out, with seven days free, then pay only $6.99 per month. That’s a relative bargain compared to other streamers.

Take a look at some of our current faves, past, present and future.

What to watch on Apple TV+ now:

Ted Lasso — all three seasons

What to watch on Apple TV+

If you haven’t watched this clever, sweet, feel-good series with an edge, what are you waiting for? Don’t fight Ted Lasso any longer! You may not have him to kick around any more, as it seems that season three is the series’ finale, although the door has remained open.

Ted Lasso stars Jason Sudeikis as the lede character. He’s an American football coach hired to manage a British soccer team—despite having no experience. But what he lacks in knowledge, he makes up for with optimism, underdog determination…and biscuits.

The award-winning Apple Original comedy also stars Hannah Waddingham, Brendan Hunt, Jeremy Swift, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Phil Dunster, Nick Mohammed and Sarah Niles, many of them Emmy and Critics Choice Award nominees and winners.

Silo – season one now streaming

What to watch on Apple TV+

Starring an ensemble cast led by Rebecca Ferguson (who also serves as executive producer and you can see in Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One, Common, Emmy-nominee Harriet Walter, Chinaza Uche, Avi Nash, David Oyelowo, Emmy-nominee Rashida Jones and Academy Award-winner Tim Robbins, Silo has become a huge Apple Original hit.
It’s a world-building drama series based on Hugh Howey’s New York Times bestselling trilogy of dystopian novels entitled Wool, which I read and absolutely loved! Kudos to Howie for having the courage to self publish, sell millions of copies, and end up with a series on Apple TV+!
Created by Emmy-nominated screenwriter Graham Yost (Band of Brothers, Justified), it’s the story of the last ten thousand people on earth, their mile-deep home protecting them from the toxic and deadly world outside.
However, no one knows when or why the silo was built and all who try to find out face fatal consequences. Ferguson stars as ‘Juliette,’ an engineer, who seeks answers about a loved one’s murder and tumbles onto a mystery that goes far deeper than she could have ever imagined, leading her to discover that if the lies don’t kill you, the truth will.

Foundation – season two now streaming

What to watch on Apple TV+

The epic saga from storyteller David S. Goyer returned for its 10-episode second season two on Friday, July 14, with one episode followed by new episodes weekly, every Friday.

Based on Isaac Asimov’s award-winning stories, and featuring an international cast led by Emmy-nominated actors Jared Harris and Lee Pace, alongside rising stars Lou Llobell and Leah Harvey.

The monumental adaptation of  Foundation chronicles the stories of four crucial individuals transcending space and time as they overcome deadly crises, shifting loyalties and complicated relationships that will ultimately determine the fate of humanity.

Foundation season two picks up than a century after the season one finale. Tension mounts throughout the galaxy, as the Cleons unravel, a vengeful queen plots to destroy Empire from within. Hari, Gaal, and Salvor discover a colony of Mentalics with psionic abilities that threaten to alter psychohistory itself.

The Foundation has entered its religious phase, promulgating the Church of Seldon throughout the Outer Reach and inciting the Second Crisis: war with Empire. 

It may sound complicated, but trust me, don’t get too wrapped up in the intricate details, just go with it. The production value is phenomenal, and who doesn’t love Lee Pace and Jared Harris?

The Morning Show explores the cutthroat world of morning news and the lives of the people who help America wake up in the morning.

Starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon , The Morning Show is an Emmy, SAG and Critics Choice winning series.

In season three, the future of the network is thrown into question and loyalties are pushed to the brink when a tech titan takes an interest in UBA. Unexpected alliances form, private truths are weaponized and everyone is forced to confront their core values both in and out of the newsroom.

Lessons in Chemistry

What to watch on Apple TV+

Can’t wait for this one! I’m gaga over the book, so this is an absolute must see! It premieres Friday, October 13 with the first two episodes, followed by new episodes on the following Fridays.

Starring and executive produced by Academy Award-winner Brie Larson and based on the best-selling, debut novel from author, science editor and copyrighter Bonnie Garmus, Lessons in Chemistry is set in the early 1950s — an era we adore seeing on TV.

It follows Elizabeth Zott (played by Larson), whose dream of being a scientist is put on hold in a patriarchal society. When Elizabeth finds herself fired from her lab, she accepts a job as a host on a TV cooking show, and sets out to teach a nation of overlooked housewives – and the men who are suddenly listening – a lot more than recipes.

Starring alongside Larson in the highly anticipated drama are Lewis Pullman, NAACP Image Award-winner Aja Naomi King, Stephanie Koenig, Kevin Sussman, Patrick Walker, and Thomas Mann.

The hits just keep coming! Now’s a great time to catch up on the classics and prepare yourself for hits of the future as we show you what to watch on Apple TV+
