Kicking off with a list of new Apple TV+ shows Australia has to enjoy, we’re looking at series released in the last 12 months. While there may have been new seasons of older shows unveiled recently, like Jason Momoa’s See, we’re basing this on when the first episode premiered. To keep up to date on everything coming to Apple TV+ this month, check out some of the latest and greatest TV shows on Apple TV+.

This brand new Apple TV+ series revolves around a group of tightly-knit sisters who share a tragic backstory. The new 10-episode series comes by way of creator and star Sharon Horgan and follows the lives of the Garvey sisters, who are stuck together by the premature death of their parents and a promise to always protect one another. It’s a tale of tragic comedy, aligned with some odd deaths and a host of awkwardness, akin to the British favourite Death at a Funeral. This Apple TV+ series is executive produced and written by Horgan with Brett Baer and Dave Finkel, who adapted it from the Belgian version of the series “Clan,” which was created by Malin-Sarah Gozin. It’s a good old-fashioned family tragedy that borders on uncomfortable at times, but I definitely think it’s worth a look.

Suffering from memory loss, a woman (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) pieces together the fragments of her past in this slow-burn mystery series. Surface is set in high-end San Francisco and centres around a woman who embarks on a quest to put the pieces of her life back together with the help of her husband and friends, but all is not as it seems. As she attempts to navigate the sordid details of her past life, she uncovers a shocking love triangle and a host of bad guys lurking around every corner.

Adapted from a best-selling novel, this acclaimed series chronicles a Korean family across multiple generations. It’s brought to life by way of an exhilarating visual palette, rich characters, and intensely dramatic themes, but if there’s one thing to say about Pachinko, it’s that nothing comes close. Much like Min Jin Lee’s 2017 epic novel, the Apple TV+ show takes a journey through colonial Korea, chronicling the impact of the Second World War, along with the allied occupation of Japan and the Korean war. Tackling a premise rarely seen in cinema, particularly for Western audiences, Pachinko tells the harrowing tale of those Korean families forced to leave their homeland under colonial rule and start again in a foreign land. It’s an incredible watch that is as visually breathtaking as it is expertly crafted. Best of all, season two is currently in development.

Known as “The Morning Show” outside of Australia and Indonesia, this Apple TV+ series helped launch the streaming service back in 2019. Jennifer Aniston plays the veteran host of a breakfast news program, who grapples with both a massive controversy and an outspoken new co-host (Reese Witherspoon). Whilst based on a book by former CNN personality Brian Stelter, the show also draws heavily upon “The Today Show” sexual harassment scandal, which resulted in the ousting of Matt Lauer. It’s an interesting look at workplace drama, set in the public eye, however, The Morning Wars really excels in its witty and topical commentary on modern topics. The pressure-cooker environment of live TV makes for a perfect backdrop for characters like Anniston’s and Carrell’s to explore power, politics and the prospect of personal branding. Remarkably, it manages to show that there are no real heroes or villains, just varying degrees of concern on both sides. Thought-provoking for sure.

Gary Oldman leads a talented ensemble cast in this spy dramedy, about a group of MI5 misfits who’ve been relegated to desk duty. But with a major kidnapping comes the opportunity for redemption, presuming everyone can get along (which they can’t). Based on the 2010 novel of the same name by Mick Herron, Slow Horses tackles some tough topics in a rather intriguing way. What opens with an intense action scene that sees Dunkirk’s Jack Lowden attempt to apprehend a potential bombing suspect at Heathrow airport quickly descends into the rigmarole of inter-office politics, however, it does so without ever feeling boring. Led by an all-star cast and elevated with some punchy and clever writing, film critic Brian Tallerico described this hit as “one of the best spy shows in years, a smart, witty, cleverly plotted piece”. Think of it as The Office meets “Jason Bourne” and you can start to see why it’s become something of a cult classic.

Is it just us or did The Social Network launch an entire sub-genre about overzealous founders and their infamous start-ups? Not that we’re complaining. Enter this recent drama, which stars Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway as Adam and Rebekah Neumann, the eccentric married couple behind shared workspace company WeWork. The co-working start-up was once valued at over USD$1 billion and that’s pretty much where the show kicks off, but quickly, it becomes apparent that there’s not a long holding this house of cards up. WeCrashed bounces back and forth through the early days of the tech unicorn, leading to a gutting valuation and the collapse that shocked the world.  Watch them rise. Watch them fall. Watch them stay completely rich. You know the drill.

Apple loves to fill its products to the brim with action-packed features and its streaming service is no exception. Apple presumably doled out big bucks for the following sci-fi and action shows, hence their lavish production values and epic set pieces. But do they actually deliver? You’ll just have to watch to find out. Here are the best ones we’ve found, but if you’re looking to broader your horizons, why not check out our guide to the best action movies of all time?

Now in its third season on Apple TV+, See makes up for its cloying title with a prevailing sense of pure spectacle. It takes place in the not-too-distant future, where the entire human race has gone blind in the wake of a deadly virus. When two twins are born with the power of sight, it sparks a fight for survival between their adopted father (Jason Momoa) and a ruthless queen (Sylvia Hoeks). While See has been around for a few years now, Apple TV+ just realise the third and final season, which takes viewers back to the resolution world.

This blockbuster series unfolds in real-time and touches down on various characters as they deal with an alien invasion. Critics and audiences were generally underwhelmed with the show’s glacial pacing, but that didn’t stop it from becoming a sizable hit. What we did learn by watching Invasion is that Apple has no issue delivering a set-up. Almost the whole first season feels like it’s building to something, which we’re yet to really see come to fruition, however, there’s still a lot to pull from this Sam Neill-led sci-fi adventure. The character arcs are deeply engrossing, so much so, that it’s often easy to forget the imminent intergalactic threat at hand. Here’s hoping the next season will bring better stories and action. Step it up, Apple!

Whoever says that no one is making comedy anymore clearly doesn’t have an Apple TV+ subscription. From Jason Sudeikis’ inept but entirely positive soccer coach Ted Lasso to whatever shenanigans seem to be going down in Schmigadoon!, Apple has pulled out all the stops for it comedy lineup, and we’re not complaining. Here are some of the provider’s best offerings.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia co-creators Charlie Day and Rob McElhenney (along with series writer and producer Megan Ganz) bring you this surprisingly endearing workplace comedy. Set behind the scenes at a video game studio, it follows various characters as they butt heads whilst building worlds. Their everyday exploits are entertaining enough, but it’s the show’s standalone episodes that truly shine. Like Jason Momoa’s See, this series has been around for a little while, however, Apple TV+ has just dropped season three of the acclaimed comedy.

This dark comedy takes place in the 1980s and stars Rose Byrne as a distressed housewife turned aerobics guru. It found its groove in the second season to the delight of numerous critics and fans. While the first season failed to make any real impact, the costuming alone demanded a return and it’s here that we started to figure out where Physical was headed. Hippy housewife Sheila, unsatisfied with her life and eager to make a name for herself, takes a chance aerobics class as a method of self-development. The fateful event kickstarts a newfound love, however, it’s her drive to succeed that accelerates the series forward, albeit at a snail’s pace to begin with. Stick with these somewhat unlikable characters because they just might grow on you.

Join a backpacking couple (Keegan-Michael Key and Cecily Strong) as they visit the town of Schmigadoon, where locals act as if they’re in a classic Hollywood musical. So goes this clever comedy, which functions as both an ode to and parody of the once-popular sub-genre. It feels a little like a Disney film gone astray at times, however, there’s some serious fun to be had with Schmigadoon! The series constantly references and parodies the great musicals of old, while touching on the campy tropes of the Rogers and Hammerstein era. Alan Cumming shines as the closeted mayor, while Jaime Camil’s judgmental doctor is worth the Apple TV+ subscription alone.

The co-director of 21 Jump Street created this lighthearted murder mystery, which takes place during a high school reunion afterparty. The eight-part series adopts a different genre depending on the character it centres around, with funny woman Tiffany Haddish’s detective Danner driving the narrative. The best scenes come by way of Dave Franco, who perfectly nails the douchey rockstar still trying to overcompensate for his less-than-cool adolescence. The younger Franco plays Xavier, formerly known as Eugene, a famous rock star and actor who invites his former school friends to a reunion at his mansion, in an attempt to mess with their heads. However, all goes horribly wrong when he falls to his death, leaving everyone in attendance under suspicion. The Afterparty isn’t amazing by any stretch, but anything that draws a parallel between Cluedo and 21 Jump Street is worth a watch in my books.

Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd in the same Apple TV+ dramedy? Yes, please. It culls from a podcast and tells the true story of Dr. Isaac Herschkopf (Rudd), who gets way too personal with a patient (Ferrell) over the course of decades. It’s vastly different from the series you might expect on the outside, but this strange thrilling drama is more a character study of people who invest too much time in relationships that aren’t forthcoming. If anything, it proves that even the smartest people can be blind sometimes.

This recent comedy channels the Bezos divorce through the journey of Molly Novak (played by Maya Rudolph). After scoring a settlement of $87 billion, the wealthy elitist kicks off a new chapter in her life as an active philanthropist. In addition to Rudolph, the series stars an ensemble cast, including Michaela Jaé (Mj) Rodriguez, Joel Kim Booster, Ron Funches, Nat Faxon and more.  Best of all, Loot has already been renewed for a second season, so you can enjoy season one without worrying if your favourite characters are making a comeback. What starts on a satirical note becomes more heartfelt as the story progresses.
