The show focuses on how everyday people – families, soldiers, and scientists – cope with and try to make sense of the escalating threat. Created by Simon Kinberg and David Weil, “Invasion” stands out for its use of multiple languages, like English, Japanese, and Pashto, to highlight its international scale.

7. ‘Ted Lasso’ (2020– )

Ted Lasso is about an American football coach named Ted who unexpectedly gets hired to coach a professional soccer team in England, despite knowing nothing about the sport.

‘Down Cemetery Road’ is a British thriller that unfolds in an Oxford suburb. When a house explodes and a young girl goes missing, art restorer Sarah Trafford finds herself caught up in a risky investigation. She partners with private investigator Zoë Boehm, and together they expose a complex network of secrets, including a hidden government agency and individuals presumed dead for years. Starring Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson, and based on Mick Herron’s 2003 novel, the eight-episode series was developed by Morwenna Banks and directed by Natalie Bailey.

‘Slow Horses’ is a spy thriller based on Mick Herron’s ‘Slough House’ novels. The show centers on a team of MI5 agents who’ve been sidelined to a dead-end department called Slough House. They’re led by the gruff and unwilling Jackson Lamb, and typically deal with minor tasks – until they unexpectedly find themselves involved in major national security issues. Gary Oldman plays Lamb, and the series also stars Jack Lowden and Kristin Scott Thomas, along with a large supporting cast. Each season is based on a different book in the series, and as of late 2025, five seasons have aired, with Apple TV+ renewing it for two more.

2. ‘The Morning Show’ (2019– )

I’m totally hooked on ‘The Morning Show’! It’s a really compelling drama that takes you inside the crazy world of a big morning news show in New York City. It mainly follows Alex Levy, the anchor, and her team as they deal with all sorts of drama, both at work and in their personal lives. The series started with a huge scandal – her co-anchor being fired due to accusations of misconduct – and since then, it’s tackled so many important issues like #MeToo, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the changes happening in the media world. Plus, the cast is amazing – Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Billy Crudup are all fantastic! It’s already been four seasons, and I’m so glad to hear it’s coming back for a fifth! It was one of the first shows on Apple TV+, and it’s definitely become one of their biggest hits, racking up tons of awards and nominations.

1. ‘Pluribus’ (2025– )

Created by Vince Gilligan, ‘Pluribus’ is a sci-fi drama set after a global catastrophe. The story centers on Carol Sturka, a deeply unhappy woman who unexpectedly becomes humanity’s last hope. A strange alien virus has infected most of the world, turning people blissfully happy and linking them into a single, collective consciousness. The series explores what happens when individuality is lost. Rhea Seehorn, known for her work on ‘Better Call Saul’, stars alongside Karolina Wydra and Carlos Manuel Vesga. The first season launched on Apple TV+ on November 7, 2025, with episodes released weekly after a two-episode premiere.
