Hand’s up if you have been getting a whole lot more screen time during the lockdown. No judgement here – unsurprisingly, mobile phones were voted as the most-used device during the stay-at-home period, with TVs coming in at second place.
With all of us being forced to isolate, it’s only natural that we’ll turn to our well-loved devices to keep boredom at bay. Smart TVs enable us to stay connected with loved ones, get all the latest news on COVID-19 and – of course – stay entertained with plenty of TV series and movies.
Loaded with lockdown challenges and recommendations about what shows to stream, the internet has become our go-to source of information for passing the time. But with a whole new world of viewing choice, how do we decide what to watch? Decision fatigue is a real thing!
With shows and movies from the world’s most creative storytellers, may we recommend Apple TV+ for your viewing pleasure. While you may not get the sheer volume of shows that more well-known streaming services offer, Apple TV+ makes up for it in quality and star-studded casts.
Now compatible with 2019 and 2020 LG smart TVs, here are five exclusive shows you can binge on Apple TV+. You can thank us later.
An award-winning Apple original that offers an inside look at what it takes to work in the cut-throat world of morning television, Jennifer Aniston and Steve Carell star as co-anchors of a popular breakfast news show. The drama also features Reese Witherspoon as an impulsive field reporter and Jennifer’s new on-air rival.
With an impressive line-up of Lauren Ambrose, Toby Kebbell and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley all grown up) and an eerie storyline, this psychological horror is not for the faint-hearted. The series revolves around a Philadelphia couple who are mourning the loss of their baby with a reborn doll and creepy nanny.
