In the crowded streaming platform space, Apple TV+ sets a high bar for original content in English
FirstpostThese post-pandemic times may be depressing, but it’s certainly boom time for streaming platforms of all shapes and sizes. When billion-dollar studios are pumping in money to create binge TV and tentpole blockbusters – in the theme-park aesthetic, one might add – even a single platform out of, say, Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+ Hotstar, has a generation’s worth of content for an individual to consume. Surprisingly enough, though, as far as English language original content is concerned, one of the most interesting selections of original titles belongs to the behemoth that has put a billion and a half devices in people’s hands across the globe. Little America, easily one of the best Apple TV+ titles currently, is a triumphant look at immigrant stories in America, an anthology series that’s truly worth your time. I’ve watched and liked enough on the platform to be excited by some of the other titles that I’m yet to explore – the horror series Servant, executive produced by M Night Shyamalan among others; Dickinson starring the talented Hailee Steinfeld in the title role of poet and rebel Emily Dickinson; Trying, a comedy about a family trying to adopt; and even Amazing Stories, an anthology series exec-produced by some top names, Steven Spielberg being one of them.
