This includes movies, but browsing their "originals" list, so far I (or my wife) have enjoyed (in no particular order):
Slow Horses Lessons in Chemistry Severance Ted Lasso Shrinking Mythic Quest Roar CODA The Problem with John Stewart And we are looking forward to checking out, in no particular order:
Palm Royale For All Mankind Criminal Record Killers of the Flower Moon Foundation Strange Planet The Morning Show Greyhound They're not all knockout hits. Overall we just feel safer trying something new there. If we don't like it, it's usually just because it's not for us, and less because it feels like an algorithmic, soulless cash grab.
> what was the last show where the villain/antagonist/incompetent people were not white males and the protagonist was not a “diverse” woman.
My favorite Apple TV series is actually "Lessons in Chemistry". The protagonist is Brie Larson. 2023 show.
On the sci-fi side, I really enjoyed Apple TV's Silo led by Rebecca Ferguson. Also 2023.
