Apple TV+ is mainly associated with hits like “Ted Lasso” and “Severance”, but the platform's catalog also includes productions that haven't created a lot of media buzz, yet offer a very solid level. Here are three titles that you might have missed.
The Essex Serpent
The Essex Serpent is a period drama with thriller elements, based on a bestselling novel. Starring Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston, the series tells the story of a widow who arrives in a small English village to investigate mysterious reports of a mythical creature. This production is more atmospheric than dynamic, building tension through its mood, cinematography, and character psychology.
Shining Girls
Shining Girls starring Elisabeth Moss is a dark thriller that combines the motif of a serial killer with elements of a disturbed reality. The series plays with time and perception, forcing the viewer to constantly piece together the story. It’s a recommendation for fans of unconventional narratives and stories that require focus.
Trying
Trying is a British comedy-drama about a couple trying to adopt a child. It sounds serious, but the series opts for a light tone, natural dialogue, and authentic relationships between the characters. It’s one of the most underrated productions on the platform, lacking big effects or dramatic twists, but full of heart and humour.
