6) Defending Jacob
Defending Jacob is Apple TV’s most addictive limited series. The eight-episode story arc details the agonizing personal and legal dilemmas of Assistant District Attorney Andy Barber (Chris Evans) and his wife Laurie (Michelle Dockery) when their teenage son Jacob (Jaeden Martell) is accused of murdering his classmate.

Under the leadership of Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman), the “Slow Horses” find themselves tasked with pivotal missions in the effort to keep the United Kingdom safe. Slow Horses’ narrative might seem straightforward, but the series often shakes things up by placing its characters in dangerous and unpredictable situations. The many different personalities featured in Slow Horses are interesting and charming, and it’s exciting to see how their arcs unfold. Elevated by action, comedic elements, and a top-notch cast, Slow Horses never becomes stale. Thus, one can watch one episode after another with ease.
4) Severance
Severance‘s mind-bending mystery and phenomenal character work cement the show as a must-watch on Apple TV. The story focuses on the employees of Lumen Industries, who undergo a procedure to separate their professional consciousness from their personal lives. Amid these uncanny circumstances, Mark Scout (Adam Scott) and his co-workers orchestrate a plot to expose Lumen’s secrets to the world. Although slow-paced, Severance is well worth paying attention to. The show’s two released seasons are a mesmerizing journey of self-discovery, romance, and drama. Stunning visuals and outstanding acting performances only heighten Severance‘s appeal. It’s impossible to solve the wondrous enigma that is Severance, which is effortlessly addictive thus far.
3) Silo
Apple TV’s Silo is dystopian sci-fi TV at its finest and most addictive. In a future where war has rendered the Earth’s surface uninhabitable, humans live in underground silos run by authoritarian governments that conceal all knowledge of their history. Curiosity escalates into an all-out rebellion in Silo 18 as engineer Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson) seeks to uncover the truth and dismantle the corrupt system oppressing her and her fellow citizens.
Those who love post-apocalyptic settings similar to Fallout and revolution stories like The Hunger Games will be enraptured by Silo. The show’s two released seasons contain intricate world-building, absorbing mysteries, and satisfying payoffs. A constant air of tension keeps every episode of Silo absorbing as it fleshes out its characters and narrative. Numerous astounding reveals and misdirections make Silo‘s plot a thrill to experience. Therefore, the show’s third and fourth seasons should offer plenty more material to obsess over.
2) Pluribus
Pluribus already figures among Apple TV’s best shows, and its first season captivates viewers with brilliance. Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul creator Vince Gilligan’s new series follows novelist Carol Sturka (Rhea Seehorn), one of 13 people immune to an alien hive mind virus that suddenly infects nearly every human on Earth. Pluribus is an intoxicating, slow-burning story that succeeds equally as a mystifying sci-fi thriller and a profound character study.
Carol’s arc as a reluctant hero in Season 1 is rife with complexity as she grapples with the loneliness that comes with being one of the few remaining souls with agency and individuality. Mustering up the willpower to save humanity amid the hive’s manipulative tactics proves a struggle for Carol, who encounters intriguing obstacles while learning more about the virus. Hilarious, sad, and thought-provoking all at once, Pluribus is an addictive masterpiece through its first nine episodes, establishing the series’s enormous potential in Season 2 and beyond.
