Apple TV has been on a hot streak with new series lately, and its next premiere looks set to continue that trend.
Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed arrives this Wednesday, May 20 with its first two episodes, followed by weekly releases through July 15.

Supporting players include Jake Johnson (New Girl), Murray Bartlett (The White Lotus), Brandon Flynn (13 Reasons Why), and Dolly De Leon (Nine Perfect Strangers)
A new podcast launched today called TV Is Good. It features two notable TV critics: Alan Sepinwall (formerly Rolling Stone, now indie at What’s Alan Watching?) and Kathryn VanArendonk (Vulture).
In their inaugural episode, Sepinwall and VanArendonk talk Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed and similarly found the series a lot of fun.
