Apple TV+ boasts critically acclaimed shows like Slow Horses and Ted Lasso, but there are hidden gems worth exploring. Spanish-language X account @Fansdepantallas has highlighted six lesser-known series on the platform.
They commented: "Apple TV+ has some of the best series right now... but almost always, the conversation sticks to the same ones. If you've already watched Severance, Silo, or Ted Lasso, here are six much lesser-known series that also deserve a shot."
Trying
A collaboration between Apple TV and the BBC, Trying is a comedy starring Esther Smith and Rafe Spall as a couple facing fertility challenges. @Fansdepantallas said: "A charming British comedy about a couple trying to adopt a child. Humour, tenderness, and characters you end up growing fond of. One of those series that leaves you with a smile." Four seasons are available, with the fifth currently airing; new episodes arrive every Wednesday.
Drops of God
This multilingual thriller in French, English, and Japanese is based on a Japanese manga. It follows a battle over an inheritance—including a vast wine collection—between a wine magnate's daughter and his star student. @Fansdepantallas noted: "A million-dollar inheritance... that can only be won by overcoming a series of wine-related challenges. An elegant, different drama packed with suspense." The series stars Fleur Geffrier and Tomohisa Yamashita. Two seasons of eight episodes each are available.
Acapulco
Set in a luxurious Mexican resort in the 1980s, Acapulco spans four seasons and is praised for its vibrant style and cheerful atmosphere. @Fansdepantallas called it "a bright comedy set in a luxurious Mexican resort during the 1980s. Very funny, with a lot of heart and an atmosphere that hooks you from the first episode." Inspired by the 2017 film How to Be a Latin Lover, it comprises 40 episodes and concluded last year.
Love You To Death
This Spanish-language romantic comedy miniseries, originally titled A Muerte, follows a man recently diagnosed with heart cancer and dumped by his girlfriend, and his pregnant childhood friend. @Fansdepantallas said: "One of the most delightful Spanish surprises of recent years. Romance, humour, and emotions in a story about how an unexpected diagnosis can change everything." All seven episodes are available in Spanish with subtitles or an English dub.
Schmigadoon!
A musical comedy with an ensemble cast including Keegan-Michael Key, Cecily Strong, Alan Cumming, Jane Krakowski, Martin Short, and Ariana DeBose. It pays homage to musicals from the 1940s to 1970s. @Fansdepantallas remarked: "If you like musicals, this is a hidden gem. A couple gets trapped in a town where everything works like a classic Broadway musical. Original, fun, and very different from any other series." Two seasons total 12 episodes, and a stage adaptation is currently running on Broadway.
Little Voice
A romantic comedy-drama with music by Sara Bareilles, creator of the musical Waitress. The cast includes Brittany O'Grady, Sean Teale, and Colton Ryan. @Fansdepantallas noted: "A young composer tries to make her way in New York while searching for her own voice. An intimate, meticulously crafted series with a fantastic soundtrack." One season of nine episodes is available.
