Top 10 TV Shows on Apple TV+ (2022)

Apple TV+ as a streaming service is not as popular as its competitors. But, if you look at the kind of shows it has produced in the last 12 months, you’d find some very interesting content.

From its roster, series like Severance and Ted Lasso have created quite the buzz on the internet, and more such shows are waiting for you in Apple TV’s library. So, here’s a list of the top 10 TV shows that have come out on Apple TV+ in 2022:

• Severance
• The Essex Serpent
• Tehran
• Shining Girls
• The Problem with Jon Stewart
• WeCrashed
• Pachinko
• Servant
• The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey
• Slow Horses

1. Severance

Severance is a borderline dystopian office thriller that will leave you with more questions than answers at the end of each episode. The story, screenplay, set, and perhaps every single thing about the show is mind-boggling. The vibe is pretty eerie and unsettling. You might feel uncomfortable at times, but you won’t know why. Check out this masterpiece now. Only one season has come out so far, so it’ll be easy for you to binge it.

2. The Essex Serpent

The Essex Serpent is set in the Victorian era and combines genres such as thriller and fantasy with a few subtle horror elements. The story follows a woman who has just shifted to a small village called Essex.

Here, she discovers the legend of a serpent and thus begins her quest to find this mythical creature. If the story isn’t enticing enough for you, here’s another piece of information. One of the lead actors is Tom Hiddleston, and I know you wouldn’t want to miss out on watching him.

3. Tehran

Tehran is an Israeli spy-thriller, and its tonality and setting are similar to that of The Spy on Netflix. It is one of those shows that will always keep you on the edge of your seat. Quite often, in shows like these, the suspense elements seem forced, but Tehran rises above those to a great extent.

4. Shining Girls

Shining Girls is a sci-fi crime thriller, with Elisabeth Moss playing the lead in the show. You would’ve previously seen Moss in The Handmaid’s Tale and Mad Men, both of which are incredible shows. The story follows a journalist who gets brutally assaulted, due to which her reality starts shifting.

5. The Problem with Jon Stewart

The Problem with Jon Stewart is like The Daily Show. Every episode focuses on a specific issue, and he spreads awareness about it via the medium of comedy.

For those who don’t know, Jon Stewart is the man who popularized The Daily Show and is one of the most important reasons for its success with the masses. Trevor Noah and Hassan Minhaj came much later. In fact, you can even see Jon Stewart’s influence in Patriot Act, a show hosted by Hasan Minhaj.

6. WeCrashed

WeCrashed is a semi-biopic starring Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway as the co-founders of WeWork. The movie portrays their relationship, how WeWork rose to prominence, and how it all fell apart. The actors have great chemistry, and you would be surprised to see Jared Leto in this new avatar.

7. Pachinko

Pachinko is a recent K-drama that garnered a lot of appreciation for its cinematography and color palette. The show portrays the life of a Korean woman and her family across three generations.

It has an extremely slow pace, which actually is its biggest strength. A sense of serenity will take over your mind when you watch it. Very few shows or movies can make you feel that way, and Pachinko manages to do it perfectly.

8. Servant

M. Night Shyamalan’s filmography has had a lot of ups and downs. If you’ve followed his work, you must be familiar with his style. There’s always something eerie and weird happening in his work, and each one will have a classic flip in the end.

Servant is one of his latest projects. You might not instantly like it due to its unique storytelling style, but over a few episodes, you’ll get used to it. The best and the worst part of this show is how much Shayamalan banks upon the suspense part of the narrative. Nevertheless, you must watch one season of the show, if not all three.

9. The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey

Like Servant, even this show has an exciting premise. Samuel L. Jackson is playing a 91-year-old who suffers from dementia. When he’s given a chance to regain some of his memories through treatment, he accepts without knowing what lies ahead. Unfortunately, he realizes that a lot has happened in his life, and now he must come face-to-face with the ghosts of his past.

10. Slow Horses

Slow Horses puts a dark and funny spin on the espionage thriller/drama genre. Starring Gary Oldman, the show follows a group of dysfunctional MI5 Agents and their obnoxious boss. It’s different from the usual content you consume, and you must watch it if you’re into something off-beat and innovative.

With this, we’ve come to the end of our list. Wondering why I haven’t mentioned shows such as Ted Lasso and The Morning Show? Well, they released in 2021. But if you have somehow missed these shows, do check them out immediately.
