Apple TV has too many good shows on now and I can’t keep up
Apple TV has been called “the new HBO” for its focus on quality over quantity. But recently, the streamer has starting ramping its lineup of shows I want to watch, and I can’t keep up.
I’ve subscribed to Apple TV since it first debuted in 2019, and the streamer has typically had 1-2 shows on at a time that I’ve wanted to watch.
This kind of output resembles HBO, which has built its brand creating fewer, but generally higher-quality shows than most competitors.
In the last couple years though, Apple’s output has been slowly growing, and at the same time its batting average has arguably improved too.
The result? Apple has too many good shows on right now, and I can’t keep up.
Currently airing every week on Apple TV are new episodes of:
I’m excited to dive into Dark Matter, as season 1 made it one of my favorite sci-fi shows just behind Severance and Pluribus. But it’s been hard to find time to start season 2. And I’m always up for a comfort watch half-hour comedy, so Brothers is in the queue.
I love crime thrillers and dramas involving family, so Last Seen looks very much like my kind of show. But I haven’t started it yet, despite Stephen King’s endorsement.
Two observations about LAST SEEN, 4 episodes in (Apple+): 1–It's a fantastic show, and 2–I see no good resolution for the families involved. Or for Sarah, who is played beautifully by Chloe Jean Lourdes.
I’m still not caught up on Silo season 3, and haven’t even started Sugar season 2 despite great reviews and being a fan of the show. I could watch more on Apple if I ignored other streamers, but other shows elsewhere are keeping me busy too.
