Apple TV Plus Best Original TV Series to Watch 2023

It's true that every streaming service has its own unique offerings. Netflix is known for its massive, diverse content library, while Disney+ is popular for housing Disney shows Marvel movies, and many more. Apple TV+, on the other hand, is known to keep its library simple. This streaming platform is literally about quality and not quantity, which is why they're a powerhouse when it comes to TV series and even movies.

In this article, we've handpicked several Apple TV+ original TV series that you need to watch before the year ends. Because trust us - it's THAT good. But before we continue, keep in mind that these are Apple+ Original, so you won't find it on other no contract TV platforms.

1. Ted Lasso

Of course, what better way to start this list than with Ted Lasso? Ted Lasso is a sports comedy-drama about a man who works as a college football coach in Kansas. He was then hired by a professional soccer team based in England. The catch? He doesn't even have any experience coaching soccer. But he took on the job to challenge himself, which gave this drama a rollercoaster ride.

It's surely a funny TV series to watch, but it's filled with valuable life lessons that many of us will be able to relate to, especially if you're in the same field as him. With a show this good, it should be available on other streaming platforms like Sling TV as well – soon enough, hopefully.

2. The Morning Show

This Emmy Award-winning TV show should definitely be watched by everyone who loves satire drama, and tragicomedy. It's about the everyday lives of a morning news team and everyone who wakes up America in the morning. The best thing about this series is that it talks about many social issues without being too preachy, which makes it entertaining. It currently has three seasons and is still running.

3. Shrinking

Shrinking is a new Apple TV+ comedy series starring Jason Segel, a therapist who's had enough of everything and just decided to start telling his patients what he thinks of them. It's a pure, lighthearted comedy with a great storyline and acting. Jason fits perfectly as the show's main character because of his weirdly confident energy that makes everything perfect.

It also has well-rounded characters, all with imperfections and vulnerabilities, that deal with various real-life issues. It's a TV series you'll keep wanting to watch episode after episode because it feels real and pure. Again, hopefully, this show will make it to other streaming services like Hulu or Dish TV because it's really good.

4. Severance

If you prefer a darker-themed series, Severance might be your best pick. It's a sci-fi psychological thriller about an employee of Lumon Industries who agreed to partake in a severance program that entails surgically dividing his work memories and non-work memories.

There's a deeper meaning in this series that many of us would relate to, especially if you're working in corporate. But then, aside from that, the storytelling of this series is just impeccable. The cast, the writers, and the producers. Everything worked so well, and we can't wait for you to watch it.

5. Acapulco

Acapulco is a comedy TV series about a young Mexican man who's always had the dream of working in the best resort in Acapulco named Las Colinas. It's another lighthearted, goofy comedy show about someone wanting to reach his dreams, but of course, it's not a smooth sailing journey.

Honestly, Acapulco can be an underdog TV series, but it doesn't get much recognition, probably because Apple isn't doing much advertising about it.

6. Black Bird

Black Bird is a limited series based on the novel In with the Devil: a Faller Hero, a Serial Killer, and a Dangerous Bargain for Redemption by Hillel Levin and James Keene. It's a crime drama series about a man who's sentenced to 10 years in prison. 10 years is a long time, so he decided to make a deal with the FBI that he'll make friends with a suspected serial killer and get a confession from him so that they can find the bodies of women who were killed.

Final Thoughts

Apple TV+ continues to impress viewers with its commitment to producing high-quality original TV series. While they may not have the vast library of some other streaming platforms, these TV series are proof that they really invest in entertaining and thought-provoking stories for their subscribers. Happy streaming!
