As a total TV fanatic, I’ve been checking out what’s new on Apple TV, and the team at Ebaster has rounded up five shows that are really getting people talking. These aren’t just random picks – they’re the critically acclaimed, fan-favorite, and most buzzed-about series that have just dropped.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) continues to be the standard for superhero franchises, especially its early years with the ‘Infinity Saga.’ After the first Avengers movie demonstrated audience enthusiasm for connected stories building to a large team-up, adapting superhero comics into an interconnected universe became a perfect strategy.

Nearly a decade ago, a fantastic sci-fi show with a dark, alternate history setting premiered on Prime Video and quickly gained popularity with both audiences and critics. While the second season wasn’t quite as strong as the first, which received almost perfect reviews, the show rebounded with excellent third and fourth seasons. It’s now considered one of Prime Video’s top sci-fi series.

I was absolutely floored by the finale of The Chair Company! When it ended on that freeze-frame of Ron looking worried, with his girlfriend’s boyfriend yelling, my first instinct was to let out a sarcastic little cheer. It was perfect! The whole episode finally answered all the big questions we’d been puzzling over all season about Tim Robinson’s character, Ron Trosper, but in the most delightfully weird way – it made everything we thought we knew feel totally wrong.
