To cut through the noise, we’ve rounded up three must-watch shows on Apple TV Plus that are well worth your time. This includes Cate Blanchett’s new psychological thriller, which is currently sitting in the No.1 spot. Here’s what you should be watching now.

“Shrinking” is another show that's trending once again due to the much-anticipated premiere of its second season, which recently aired its first episode. This show centers around Jimmy Laird (Jason Segel), a therapist who is struggling to cope with the loss of his wife. In his grief, he starts breaking the rules of traditional therapy by telling his clients exactly what he thinks, even intervening in their lives in unorthodox ways.
