For all mankind

For all mankind is, without the slightest hesitation, the best series in the Apple TV+catalog, and one of the best dramatic television creations in recent years. With three (soon four) seasons, the work maintains a level of quality such on all levels that it alone justifies the subscription to the service.

Let us recall that this is an uchronia starting from the postulate that the Russians beat the Americans in the race for the moon, thus modifying the story and shaking up the life of the characters involved. Extremely well written, interpreted and produced, the series of Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica, There is no coincidence) is of foolproof solidity and multiplies the memorable episodes.

The IMDB note: 8/10

Severance

Is it soon season 2 of Severance ? Not because the first season of this show skillfully mixing drama, mystery and science fiction is absolutely incredible. It is a question of following Mark (Adam Scott), an employee in a company with a particular functioning: everyone separates their professional and personal memories there.

Necessarily recalling the concept of the Netflix series Black Mirror, Where technology can be more harmful than beneficial, Dan Erickson’s series is delightfully ambiguous and … No, really, it’s soon season 2 ? Quickly the next Apple episodes, please.

The IMDB note: 8.7/10

Unit

Deemed impossible to adapt, the saga of novels Foundation Isaac Asimov was actually complex to wear on the short screen during his first season. Imperfect and not always captivating, the ambitious science fiction series has nevertheless done what she could and attempted some sometimes welcome modifications, sometimes less.

Load at the future season 2 (which arrives from July 14) to offer something better. If this is not the case, at worst, he will always have the solid plastic of his world and the presence of Lee Pace in the casting.

The IMDB note: 7.4/10

Black Bird

Apple TV+ likes mini-series in a few episodes. And Taron Egerton. In addition to being playing the film Tetris, The latter is the star of Black Bird, A prison thriller based on a true story.

Rather effective, especially thanks to the work of the English actor, the show is interested in James “Jimmy” Keene. In prison, this criminal will be offered an atypical deal by the authorities: obtain the confessions of an alleged serial killer in exchange for his freedom.

The IMDB note: 8.1/10

Slow Horses

No doubt, Apple has money when it comes to going to look for renowned actresses and actors. In Slow Horses, Gary Oldman and Kristin Scott Thomas were recruited.

In this series of espionage, Oldman plays Jackson Lamb, the head of an atypical department of MI5 where the mockery failed are put in the closet. If all goes well, four seasons are planned, while two are already available.

The IMDB note: 7.9/10

Mythic Quest

Atypical series in many ways, Mythic Quest is a comedy that divided the public when it was launched. Today three seasons (soon four), and therefore endowed with a faithful audience, the series created and in particular carried by Rob Mcelhenney (Philadelphia) is mainly aimed at lovers of video games.

Indeed, it is a question of following the daily life of a development studio at the origin of a successful game. The show, produced by Ubisoft, does not lack personal and professional adventures to tell.

The IMDB note: 7.7/10

The drops of God

The drops of God, Or Drops of God In English, is an adaptation of the eponymous renowned manga by tadashi ac. In this Franco-Japanese series, made up of eight episodes, there is talk of wine.

The IMDB note: 8.1/10

Shrinking

We expected a lot from Shrinking. Co-created by Bill Lawrence (Scrums), Brett Goldstein (Ted Lasso) and Jason Segel (Display from Elsewhere), this dramatic comedy notably carried by the latter and Harrison Ford had all the ingredients to be an absolute card.

If the series is not bad in itself, comes out in our humble opinion a feeling of “too little”, especially in its first episodes. If the adventures of his psychologists at the end of the roller make you smile and generate various emotions, we are however a little below the intensity and originality of the series just cited.

The IMDB note: 8/10

The Big Door Prize

If you are in the midst of an existential crisis (and even more than forty), The Big Door Prize Maybe for you. Carried in particular by Chris O’Dowd, this dramatic comedy tinged with science fiction collects for the moment very good feedback.

The pitch ? In a small town, the life of the inhabitants will switch because of a mysterious machine capable of revealing the true potential of each. A season 2 is already planned.

The IMDB note: 6.3/10

Servant

Recently completed after its fourth season, Servant was able to take advantage of the presence of a few solid names to its credits to attract thriller and horror lovers. Because in addition to Rupert Grint, Toby Kebbell or Lauren Ambrose, it is especially that of the director M. Night Shyamalan which was put forward by Apple.

For 40 episodes, it is a question of following a couple in Philadelphia in mourning after a tragedy. The rupture generated in their marriage will let a mysterious force enter home.

Physical

Expected at the turn by his fans for a third season on Apple TV+, Physical is a dramatic comedy that looks a little bit like fire Glow. There is indeed a question of following there, in the 80s, a woman with a depressed household (Rose Byrne) who regained a taste for life thanks to the aerobic.

Perhaps not the most memorable series of the streaming platform certainly, but its energy, its humor and its message are good where they go.

The IMDB note: 7.3/10

Defending Jacob

There are series whose synopsis and the unfolding do not seem very original on paper, and which nevertheless grabs you from start to finish. Defending Jacob is these. This limited series (in other words, there is no season 2) is interested in a fictitious news item and a torn family after a dramatic event.

Acknowledging a scenario little attractive at first glance, this dramatic thriller takes advantage of an excellent sense of narration throughout its eight episodes, a solid casting (Chris Evans and Michelle Dockery are impeccable), an achievement and of a mastered photograph. So much so that we are caught in this story until his outcome, and that we even forgive him for a bit predictable at times.

The IMDB note: 7.8/10

Amazing Stories

Like any series of anthology, the quality ofAmazing Stories varies a lot from one episode to another. Nevertheless, the whole lets itself be well looked at so that it finds its place in this selection. Amazing Stories presents itself as a modernized version of the 1985 cult series signed Steven Spielberg; Since its launch in 2020, only five episodes have been offered, but Apple has already planned others.

As its name suggests, the show proposes to tell unique fantastic stories. If you like short dramatic and mysterious intrigue, and you don’t have much time in front of you, this is a very suitable proposal.

The IMDB note: 6.3/10

Ted Lasso

Here is a series that makes a lot of good ! Even if you don’t like football. Ted Lasso, With his story as an American football coach who finds himself managing a football team in England, is formidable to transmit his good humor, through his formidable characters.

Composed of three seasons, the dramatic comedy notably created by the dad of ScrumsPerhaps is not the funniest in the world, but it is certainly one of the softest. Of course, Jason Sudeikis and the overflowing kindness of his mustachioed hero is not for nothing. Especially since around him also revolve other equally engaging personalities … go for it, it is impossible for you to regret it !

The IMDB note: 8.8/10

Silo

Let’s finish this selection with Silo. Adaptation of the eponymous novel of the American Hugh Howey, it is notably carried by Rebecca Ferguson. Thanks to its rather deserved critical success, the series also obtained a season 2 even before the end of the broadcast of the first. It must be said that its atmosphere and its central mystery work very well, despite a rhythm not always exciting.

As in the original post-apocalyptic work, it is a question in this show of following survivors who live in a massif Silo underground, supposed to protect them from the outside that have become hostile. If you liked Snowpiecer For example, you will certainly find common points.
