Sometimes, scrolling through some of the best streaming services can be overwhelming. There are so many movies and shows constantly being added to each platform, so knowing what to stream next can feel like an impossible task (and I’ve been there, many times). If I’m scrolling for longer than five minutes, I often turn to the streamer’s top 10 list, and in this case, it would be Apple TV Plus.
In recent months, Apple TV Plus has really stepped up its game in the world of entertainment. There are plenty of highly-rated original shows to binge-watch right now, and I can name a few worth watching in the top 10 list. So, here are three quality shows that definitely deserve your attention.
This is based on the Apple TV Plus top 10 shows as of Monday, July 15.
BEST SHOWS IN THE APPLE TV PLUS TOP 10
'Sunny'
My favorite drama series of the year so far has to be “Sunny” just because of how unique and entertaining it is. The show stars Rashida Jones as Suzie, an American living in Kyoto, Japan, who is suddenly thrown into a life of despair when her husband and son go “missing” in a plane crash. As a form of consolation, she receives a domestic robot named Sunny (voiced by Joanna Sotomura) from her husband's electronics company.
The robot seems strange and somewhat unnerving at first, but Suzie eventually warms up to it and they form an unexpected bond. Together, they try to solve what happened to her family, and Suzie discovers a dangerous world she never knew existed. The first two episodes are streaming on Apple TV Plus, and I can already tell this show is going to get even better.

'Dark Matter'
If you need a change from watching dramas, the sci-fi thriller “Dark Matter” is a great choice. It stars Joel Edgerton as Jason Dessen, a physicist and family man who is abducted into an alternate version of his life. What begins as a curious exploration quickly turns into a nightmare as Jason navigates through a maze of different realities, attempting to return to his true family. Along the way, he faces his most formidable opponent: alternate versions of himself, and they all seem to share a similar goal. This is a twisty, often devastating thriller that will make you sit and think after every episode.

'Severance'
"Severance” has made its way into the top 10 again, and that makes sense considering people most likely want a refresher before season 2 comes out in January 2025.
This psychological thriller and sci-fi drama revolves around employees of Lumon Industries who undergo a procedure called "severance," which surgically divides their work and personal memories. This means that when they are at work, they have no recollection of their personal lives, and vice versa. We mainly follow Mark Scout (Adam Scott), one of the severed employees, as he discovers various secrets and starts questioning the true nature and intentions of the company.
