Now that the Apple event is over, you're probably itching to keep the "awe dropping" fun going. Well, if you're looking for some new shows to watch, may I suggest Apple TV Plus? I'm going to, so buckle up.
I'm sure you've heard of the streamer and are familiar with a handful of Apple's original shows, such as Severance and Ted Lasso. But there's so much more in regards to solid programming that can be found here.
For instance, did you know Apple TV Plus released a limited series inspired by the hunt for Abraham Lincoln's killer? What about that offbeat travel show that follows Schitt's Creek star Eugene Levy around the world? I'd be remiss if I didn't give a shout-out to Jason Momoa's groundbreaking Polynesian-led series that documents the unification of the Hawaiian Islands.
I should note that this list is devoid of the platform's genre offerings. I put together a separate list of Apple TV Plus' best sci-fi TV shows. If you're looking for genre suggestions, you should go check out that article.
The 20 shows featured below are led by top-notch talent. These dramas, comedies and thrillers are well-written and push the envelope in some way. You want something thought-provoking, heart-wrenching or knee-slapping? You've come to the right place.

Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, Anthony Mackie and more show up in the most unexpected and hilarious ways. There's nothing else like The Studio on TV.

Instead of living a lavish life, relishing in her newfound status, she decides to lead a philanthropic organization with the goal of giving it all away.

Apple TV Plus The Reluctant Traveler With Eugene Levy The lack of Anthony Bourdain's presence on TV has led me to flounder for a worthy host to fill the void. I didn't expect Eugene Levy to be that guy. It's all in the title of the show. He's not a fan of traveling -- but he's taking himself out of his comfort zone and the result is an informative, heartwarming and entertaining series.
