Best TV shows on Apple TV

Popular spy thriller Slow Horses has just returned for a sixth season, but if you've yet to discover it, now's the perfect excuse to start from the beginning. Starring Gary Oldman as the gloriously dishevelled spy chief Jackson Lamb, the drama follows a team of MI5 outcasts whose misadventures routinely turn into high-stakes espionage.

We also suggest you tune in to very funny comedy horror Widow's Bay, in which an Emmy-winning Matthew Rhys has a rare chance to show off his comic chops. He’s the mayor of an island that wants to attract more tourists – but is it beholden to an ancient curse?

Adapted from Bonnie Garmus’s bestselling novel, Lessons in Chemistry features Brie Larson as a scientist in 1950s America whose career takes an unexpected turn when she becomes the host of a TV cooking show. The hit drama mixes humour, romance and social commentary in a compelling story about challenging expectations.

A recent addition to the service is crime thriller Lucky, which stars Anya Taylor-Joy as a former con artist forced back into a dangerous underworld when a heist goes wrong. Also featuring Annette Bening and Timothy Olyphant, it blends fast-paced action with a character-driven story of survival and reckoning.

Meanwhile, Javier Bardem is terrific in the role of Cape Fear's vengeful Max Cady, who starts to dismantle the home life of lawyers Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson after being released from prison in this tense TV reworking of one of cinema’s most terrifying thrillers.

The streamer has produced smash hits like Pluribus, Severance, Ted Lasso, Shrinking, and Trying, the latter of which recently returned for a fifth season.

There's also a long list of hidden gems that have flown under the radar, including a less widely publicised (but well worth your time) original like Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne's Platonic, or Jason Momoa's Chief of War.

Of course, that isn't to say that every show on the platform is a winner, which is why the team here at Radio Times has sifted through the selection and picked these standouts that merit a place on your watchlist.
