Apple TV+’s run of sci-fi releases has been legendary. If you like sci-fi, you’ll want to subscribe to Apple TV+ (their comedies aren’t bad either).
I can recommend Severance, Silo (season 1) and Murderbot while Dark Matter, Hello Tomorrow and Strange Planet are worth a watch. I wouldn’t recommend Sunny or Sugar however. I wanted to see what I should add to my watchlist next by gathering the IMDb scores for each. See the table below or read short synopsis of each below the table.
