Apple Teases Apple TV+ Surprise on January 4 and 5

Is the "surprise" that they're actually going to have good shows besides Ted Lasso (and maybe Severance)? Because that would be a huge shock for sure. :p

For all man kind, Silo, Shrinking, Slow Horses, Bad Monkey, Dark Mater, Lessons in Chemistry, Monarch, and Sugar are all amazing.

This is a shockingly bad take.

Apple TV obviously has the smallest catalogue of all the streamers, but it has by far and away the highest average quality. (From a UK perspective here, so can’t vouch for HBO Max)

You may not like anything else, and that’s sad, but there are in fact many good (based on awards and popularity) shows on Apple TV+.

Besides what you mentioned, I personally also like:

* Slow Horses (best spy show in a long time).
* Shrinking (from the writer/creator of two other amazing shows, Ted Lasso and Scrubs)
* Lessons In Chemistry (just go watch it).
* Sugar (modern noir who-done-it, with an amazing philosophical twist/reframing.
* Franklin (love me some historical drama, as long as it’s heavy on the history, light on the stupid drama)
* Silo (Rebecca Ferguson, ‘nought said).
* Masters of the Air (If you love WWII history or aircraft).
* For All Man Kind (the middle season almost kept me from continuing to watch, but I’m glad I did).
* Palm Royal (comedy, great representation of a time and place).
* Foundation (Great if you don’t need your scifi space shows to have space battles)
* If, like me, you can’t get enough Si-Fi (even if it’s not award winning), Dark Matter and See make it as honorable mentions.

To say NOTHING of the half dozen great movies I’ve watched, and another half dozen that were “entertaining” or “good romps”.

Lessons in Chemistry was good!

Shrinking is pretty funny!
