The 16 Best Shows on Apple TV+ Right Now

Slowly but surely Apple TV+ is finding its feet. The streaming service, which at launch we called “odd, angsty, and horny as hell,” has evolved into a diverse library of dramas, documentaries, and comedies. It’s also fairly cheap compared to services like Netflix—and Apple often throws in three free months when you buy a new iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV.Curious but don’t know where to get started? Below are our picks for the best shows on the service. (Also, our picks for the best movies on Apple TV+ are here.)

‘And Just Like That…’ Season 2, Episode 5 Recap

I’ve kind of been anxiously waiting for this moment to happen. But now, I don’t even know where to begin to dissect the Miranda-Che relationship. (Shoutout to freelancer Emma Flint who talks about Che Diaz here.) Every episode, Che does this push-pull thing with Miranda that really pisses me off. They give Miranda no sense of stability in their relationship. So immediately, I knew that Che’s sitcom getting a bad read from the test group was NOT going to bode well for the Miranda-Che relationship. Like clockwork, Che gets all pissy with Miranda when they have a conversation about the show. Miranda is trying to be the best cheerleader, and Che is so rude about it. I get being upset on a day when you get bad news, but Che took it out on Miranda in a way that was unfair but, quite frankly, un...

Think ‘Foundation’ Is Beautiful? Thank the James Webb Telescope

Are you watching the new season of the Apple TV+ series Foundation and thinking, “Wow, space looks cool. I wish it really was like that”? You’re in luck—it very well could be.Foundation showrunner David S. Goyer says his adaptation of Isaac Asimov’s science fiction series honed its cosmic details with Kevin Hand, a scientist who works at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and who’s currently hard at work figuring out the logistics of landing a rover on Europa, one of Jupiter’s 95 known moons. The show also found inspiration for its spacey visuals in recent images sent down from the James Webb Space Telescope, which Goyer calls “a treasure trove of material.”When the show can’t directly pull from a Webb image—say, when it’s crafting something that, as far as anyone knows, doesn’t already exi...

The 17 Best Shows on Max (aka HBO Max) Right Now

Max (previously HBO Max) might be one of the greatest things to come out of the streaming revolution. No, this is not a paid promotion; it’s just simple logic, given that so much of television’s most compelling content of the past 25 years—from The Sopranos and The Wire to Game of Thrones and The Leftovers—originated on the “it’s not just TV” network. So having one hub to find them all (including the aforementioned titles) makes good sense for both the network and binge-watchers looking to maximize their investment. But HBO’s streaming arm has gotten into the original content game too, with highly acclaimed series like Hacks, Station Eleven, and The Staircase (the owl did it!). When you’re done rewatching some of the classics, here are our favorite shows streaming on HBO Max right now.Loo...
