Apple TV+ has a strong host of contenders for best shows this December. The following eight TV series are some of the top around, and are well worth checking out. All feature variance in genres, eras, and styles, so viewers of all kinds are bound to fall in love with at least one show on this list, if not all.
Given the streaming service’s consistent output of top tier shows and talented casts, Apple TV+’s pricing of $4.99 per month (with one week free for new users) is hard to ignore, especially as other streaming services continue to push their prices upwards. The following shows are prime examples of the kind of quality television Apple is putting out, and why the cost at which you can gain access today is unrivaled.
Where to watch Apple TV+
The name Apple TV+ is almost a bit misleading, as it’s actually available on much more than just the Apple TV. Apple TV+ is available on smartphones, Macs, PCs, and nearly any kind of tablet. Wherever you can stream from programs like Netflix, Apple TV+ will be available.
Swagger
Apple TV+ has put a lot of resources into their biographical films and series and it shows. This biopic about legendary NBA player Kevin Durant goes deep into his life and rise to fame.
Invasion
For All Mankind
The series deals in mature, alternate takes on history and its effects on gender, race, and just what society as a whole has to gain from matching pace with the Soviet Union technologically.
Ted Lasso
Jason Sudeikis stars in this obscure comedy in which he takes over an English Premier League team despite having no experience in English football whatsoever. While Tottenham Hotspur is no longer the team under his jurisdiction, the laughs continue in a more fleshed out way in this award-winning television comedy.
Mythic Quest
Created by Charlie Day, Megan Ganz, and Rob McElhenney, this comedy has a hint of the Always Sunny style, but in a much more controlled manner with less improv. Starring Rob himself, there isn’t a shortage of talent shown when the developers of Mythic Quest, a hit MMORPG, battle amongst themselves and their own fans when trying to make their game the best it can be.
Dickinson
For lovers of writing and wit, Dickinson is sure to impress.
Calls
The show marks an interesting chapter in storytelling history, and signifies the first critically acclaimed, widely viewed show that explores scriptwriting through the lens (or microphone) of a cellphone. Of course, this has been done before, but not to the effectiveness that Calls manages to deliver on.
You wouldn’t expect this show to feature a star-studded cast, but it plays host to Pedro Pascal, Lily Collins, and Nick Jonas, just to name a few actors featured in this incredible show.
Ghostwriter
Ghostwriter features acting performances from Amadi Chapata, Isaac Arellanes, Hannah Levinson, and Justin Sanchez. Consider it a fantastic option for both younger audiences and families who are looking for a show to share together.
Servant
For those who are into harsh, intense psychological horror, you’re most likely going to be the former. Servant features a strong cast in the form of Toby Kebbell, Lauren Ambrose, Nell Tiger Free, and Ruptert Grint. Arguably, the strongest points of the show are found in its claustrophobic atmosphere and sharp camera work that, on its own, is enough to keep viewers invested from moment to moment.
The plot itself is complicated and difficult to accurately cipher, and is best discovered on a first-hand basis. Stay away if you aren’t ready to figure out the threads. But for anyone else, Servant is a must-watch.
There’s a great mix of shows on Apple TV+ this December. Whether you are a fan of comedies, dramas, or something more holiday focused, you can find what you need. Apple TV+ has a wide variety of programming this December sure to suit any need.
As is usually the case with Apple TV+, the offerings are numerous in number and high in quality. These original, exclusive series are hard to ignore as is, but with a $4.99 monthly price tag, Apple TV+ is beginning to rank higher than its competitors in both affordability and quality. The shows truly speak for themselves.
