Ted Lasso is the breakout hit for Apple TV+. It’s unquestionably the most buzz-worthy show to come out of the streamer in its, OK, very brief life so far. But in just a couple years, Apple has already built a small, but solid, library of other original shows that are at least interesting, or pretty good, or occasionally both. Their offerings still can’t compare in volume to what you’ll find on Netflix or Hulu, but there’s enough money in Apple’s bank account that they’re able to experiment, and that’s not at all a bad thing.
One thing Apple TV+ has going for it is a lack of cancellations; granted, it’s early days for the streamer, but the network seems to be committing to giving its shows time to grow, and for the moment, it feels safe to dive in without the fear that a show will be given the chop just as it’s starting to get good.
Here are some of Apple’s best original shows that you might not have binged yet (so, Ted Lasso obviously isn’t on the list). Share your own faves in the comments.
