Forgotten gems from Apple TV+. 3 series that went under the radar

Calendar 3/4/2026

Apple TV+ is mainly associated with hits like "Ted Lasso" or "Severance," but in the platform's catalog, we can also find productions that did not make a big media splash and 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 elements of a thriller, based on a bestselling novel. The main roles are played by 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 production that is more atmospheric than dynamic, building tension through its ambiance, cinematography, and character psychology.

Shining Girls

Shining Girls starring Elisabeth Moss is a dark thriller that combines the theme of a serial killer with elements of distorted reality. The series plays with time and perception, forcing the viewer to constantly piece the story together. It is a proposal for fans of non-obvious 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 emphasizes a light tone, natural dialogue, and authentic relationships between the characters. It is one of the most underrated productions on the platform, without big effects or dramatic twists, but with a large dose of heart and humor.
