Those who complain about Apple’s perceived lack of marketing for its streaming output are already familiar with what’s available. Most viewers have no idea what they’re missing out on. But there is gold in those hills, and that’s where we come in. For over half a decade now, Apple has been releasing some of the best shows out there, particularly in the sci-fi genre. It has delivered classics such as Severance and Silo, not to mention hit comedies such as Ted Lasso and Shrinking. It’s a testament to the sheer quality of what’s available on the streamer that titles like Platonic and Pluribus, which would have been classics on any other platform, are largely considered overlooked on Apple TV. And don’t even get us started on highly acclaimed limited series such as Black Bird and Disclaimer.
Only a few weeks ago, Apple delivered the acclaimed comedy drama Margo’s Got Money Troubles, which recently concluded its debut season with a “Certified Fresh” 97% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. And now, an even more acclaimed series has established itself as unmissable programming. The series in question is midway through its 10-episode debut season, which will conclude on June 17. Over the course of the last few weeks, the show has displayed consistent success on the Apple TV viewership charts thanks to impressive word-of-mouth.

The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
We’re talking about the comedic horror-thriller Widow’s Bay, created by Katie Dippold and starring TV veteran Matthew Rhys. The series premiered on April 29, and according to the latest data on FlixPatrol, it is among the top five shows on Apple TV both domestically and worldwide. It has been competing against Your Friends & Neighbors, starring Jon Hamm, and the recently concluded Margo’s Got Money Troubles. Encouragingly, the series has been able to rise to the top of the Apple charts after every new episode drop. Widow’s Bay also holds a “Certified Fresh” 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “Katie Dippold successfully continues to invest in eccentricity with this outlandish horror-comedy that stokes the genre’s well-worn tropes to winning effect, bringing scares, laughs, and a game cast.” Start catching up now, and you’ll be up-to-date by the season finale. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
