7 best shows on Apple TV+

Not all of their shows hit the mark, but it cannot be denied that streaming giant Apple TV+ makes some of the gripping, best-looking shows. Here's a list of 7 binge-worthy Apple TV+ shows.

Severance

Created by Dan Erickson, the blend of corporate drama and sci-fi proves too irresistible to ignore. What if your 'work' and 'home' memories are split through a surgical process? Ben Stiller directed some episodes of the show which draws from some iconic paranoia thrillers from 1970s' Hollywood.

Foundation

Based on Isaac Asimov's seminal book series of the same name, the show — created by David S. Goyer and Josh Friedman, and led by Jared Harris and Lee Pace — stands out with its near-flawless CGI and eye-popping production design that could give the Star Wars saga a run for its money.

Hijack

A tension-packed screenplay replete with delicious twists and turns, with the action cross-cutting between land and air, are some of the highlights of this series in which Idris Elba plays a corporate negotiator who is suddenly faced with the dilemma of navigating an extremely volatile situation affecting multiple lives.

Pachinko

Talk about epic in every sense of the word! Bolstered by a meticulously crafted story and an exceptional cast, the richly detailed, decades-spanning story based on the novel of the same name by Min Jin Lee shifts wonderfully between several generations and periods, with era-appropriate production design and striking colour palettes.

Dr. Brain

One of the wildest ideas in acclaimed Korean director Kim Jee-woon's six-episode series is the process of "brain-syncing" with a cat to seek in its memories clues about a murder. This delightfully mind-bending, investigative sci-fi thriller occasionally ventures into supernatural territory and is led by Lee Sun-kyun.

Slow Horses

With four seasons down and more to go, this is the perfect example of a show that gets better with each season. With an array of memorably quirky and loveable (despite their flaws) characters and pitch-black humour, the espionage drama benefits from superlative performances from Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, and others.

The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey

Samuel L. Jackson gives one of his finest performances as a memory-impaired 91-year-old who takes it upon himself to solve his nephew's murder. The concept, created by eminent crime novelist Walter Mosley, may sound grim to some but Jackson's supremely arresting performance, occasionally laced with humour, ensures we are not bored even for a minute.
