Apple TV+ is mainly associated with hits like “Ted Lasso” or “Severance”, but in the platform's catalogue, we can also find productions that didn’t make a big media splash, yet offer a very solid level. Here are three titles you might have missed.
The Essex Serpent
The Essex Serpent is a period drama with thriller elements, based on a bestselling novel. It stars 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. It is a more atmospheric than dynamic production, building tension through its mood, cinematography, and character psychology.
Shining Girls
Shining Girls starring Elisabeth Moss in the lead role is a dark thriller that combines the theme of a serial killer with elements of a disturbed reality. The series plays with time and perception, forcing the viewer to continuously piece together the story. It is a suggestion 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 focuses on a light tone, natural dialogue and authentic relationships between the characters. It's one of the most underrated productions on the platform, without grand effects or dramatic plot twists, but with a large dose of heart and humour.
