The Last Frontier brings together the likes of Jason Clarke, Dominic Cooper and Haley Bennett for a blockbuster story involving a downed plane of dangerous convicts, a brutally cold wilderness – and of course, shady secrets.
The two shows are among a selection of other lavish projects on the streaming platform, including sci-fi hits Severance and Silo, warm-hearted comedies Ted Lasso and Platonic, and period dramas Manhunt and Pachinko.
If none of the above shows are your cup of tea, then read on for plenty more Apple TV+ recommendations, courtesy of Radio Times. Stop scrolling, start watching!
1. Slow Horses
Season 5 continues the show's streak of excellence, with tightly plotted intrigue, strong character development, and a perfect balance of humour and suspense, with showrunner Will Smith (not that one) drawing inspiration from Herron's London Rules.
Excellent performances from the likes of Jack Lowden, Rosalind Eleazar and Kristin Scott Thomas are highlights, but it's Oldman who steals the show in what might arguably be his greatest role to date.
2. The Last Frontier
If you miss the heightened, high-concept action flicks of the '80s and '90s, The Last Frontier should prove to be an enjoyable throwback – even if it takes itself rather more seriously than the genre's most playful entries.
Expect secrets to be exposed and epic stunts to be pulled off, with Netflix's Extraction director Chris Hargrave and The Blacklist creator Jon Bokenkamp among the key creatives behind this ambitious thrill ride.
3. Murderbot
The show balances thrilling action sequences with dry humour and emotional depth, making it a standout for fans of character-driven science fiction, with Skarsgård’s performance widely praised as his best to date.
4. Severance
Adam Scott stars as Mark, whose dual existence begins to unravel in haunting ways. Season 2 continues the eerie atmosphere and deepens the mystery, with standout direction from Ben Stiller and a five-star critical reception.
5. Silo
Season 2 builds on the tension, introducing new characters and expanding the world and watch out for a brilliant supporting performance from Steve Zahn as the enigmatic and troubled Solo.
6. Chief of War
The blockbuster star plays real-life figure Ka'iana, who returns from his travels to warn of the approaching danger, seeking to unite the bitterly opposed kingdoms against the coming forces.
No expense or detail has been spared in this unprecedented depiction of Polynesian history, featuring intricate costumes, sets, hair and make-up as well as entire episodes filmed in the critically endangered language 'Ōlelo Hawai'i.
7. Dark Matter
Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly deliver standout performances in a show that is both thrilling and deeply romantic. Well worth a watch.
8. Masters of the Air
Starring Austin Butler and Callum Turner, the series features breathtaking aerial combat scenes and emotional depth. It's a worthy successor to Band of Brothers, with a five-star rating for its storytelling and production values.
9. Manhunt
It's garnered praise for its meticulous attention to historical detail, strong performances, and an ability to humanise complex figures from history.
10. Shrinking
Very funny and surprisingly heartfelt, this is everyone operating at the peak of their powers.
11. Bad Sisters
It won Best Drama at the 2023 British Academy Television Awards, with Anne-Marie Duff picking up Best Supporting Actress for her excellent turn as Grace.
12. Time Bandits
Each episode explores different historical periods in a whimsical tone and Lisa Kudrow leads the cast with charm – all in all, it's a worthy successor to the classic 1981 film.
13. Sunny
In a competitive field, it's been hailed by fans as a standout in Apple’s sci-fi offerings.
14. Presumed Innocent
Gyllenhaal’s performance is, as ever, stellar, with the drama of the courtroom alongside the character study making it a gripping watch.
15. Criminal Record
Critics praised the lead performances and the show’s nuanced handling of social issues, calling it a gripping and timely drama.
16. The Studio
As a newly appointed studio head, Seth Rogen's Matt Remick must balance his own dedication and love of film with the wants and wishes of everyone around him, resulting in a juggling act of hilarious proportions that will leave you easily binge-watching the series in one go.
17. Dope Thief
Intense and comic in equal measure, the series lags a little in the middle but really comes into its own towards the end. Regardless, Henry and Moura are both exceptional throughout.
18. Ted Lasso
While it seems like a feat that won't be accomplished, the team prove naysayers wrong. With a top-notch cast and loveable characters no one could forget, Ted Lasso is a must-watch, with a fourth season on the way.
19. Your Friends & Neighbors
With staggering bills to pay for, and kids and an ex-wife that have grown accustomed to a certain lifestyle in Westmont Village, Coop turns to stealing from his friends' homes in order to make more money.
However, he soon finds out that once you scratch beneath the perfect façade of everything in this bubble of society, things could be a lot more sinister than they seem.
20. Platonic
The series, which has just returned for its second season, sees Rogen re-teaming with his Bad Neighbours co-star Rose Byrne, as the duo play old friends from college who have drifted apart and taken very different paths in life. When Rogen's character Will gets divorced, he and Byrne's Sylvia reconnect, but it brings a whole heap of chaos into both of their lives.
The comedy is firmly out of Rogen's playbook, with lots of improvisation and hijinks. However, when something works, it works, and here Rogen and Byrne are both on top form with the material. It's also refreshing to see a comedy which is firmly not a will-they-won't-they, we already know they won't, even if their friendship is too close for some of the show's other characters to handle.
21. Black Bird
However, when he's offered a deal of a lifetime from the FBI, he can't quite resist. The deal involves befriending killer Larry Hall in order to illicit a confession that can be used to charge him, but the cat-and-mouse nature of the entire series keeps you hanging on, leaving you curious to see whether Jimmy succeeds in the unthinkable task.
While the very nature of the series being based on a remarkable true story is enough to pique anyone's interest, the real reason you'll want to tune into this drama is for the simple fact that both Egerton and Paul Walter Hauser are phenomenal in the leading roles, as well as the heartbreaking Ray Liotta in what was to be his last small-screen role before his death in 2022.
22. Smoke
Inspired by true events, the series may get off to a bit of slow start but is certainly worth sticking with as it delivers twists that are both surprising and intense.
23. The Buccaneers
While many of us wait patiently for the fourth season of Bridgerton, there's actually another period drama gem that boasts the same levels of drama, raunch and show-stopping style. The Buccaneers, which has just finished airing its second season, follows a group of American girls who travel to London in the 1870s in hope for more. Now settled in the capital, these women must navigate new scandals, characters like Leighton Meester's Nelle, as well as the regular romantic highs and lows of life.
24. Still Up
It might not be world changing, but the central duo have great chemistry and are enormously funny individually. It also features a strong supporting cast including Blake Harrison and Daniel Mays. It may have only run for one season before being cancelled, but if you're looking for an easy, highly bingeable comedy, then look no further.
25. The Morning Show
Led by Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, the cast has also included the likes of Billy Crudup, Steve Carell and Jon Hamm at various points throughout its run, and some more big names – including Marion Cotillard and Jeremy Irons – are joining for the currently airing fourth run.
Set in the world of morning television news, the first season focused on the #MeToo movement – following allegations of sexual misconduct made against the male co-anchor of the titular programme. Subsequent runs have spotlighted a number of other recent talking points, and have garnered mixed critical receptions, but the show has remained popular with viewers.
26. Foundation
The series, which stars Jared Harris, Lee Pace, Lou Llobell and Leah Harvey, follows a band of exiles as they work to save humanity and rebuild civilisation amid the fall of the Galactic Empire. With strong performances, stunning visuals and a complexity of story which only keeps getting more twisty and intriguing, any sci-fi fan looking for their next binge-watch should look no further.
27. Trying
The charming, funny, warm-hearted series stars Rafe Spall and Esther Smith as a couple Nikki and Jason, who at the start of the run are struggling to conceive a child, and look to adopt. The most recent fourth season jumped forwards six years and charted their lives as parents, struggling with the usual and trials and tribulations that come with raising children.
Featuring a stellar supporting cast including Siân Brooke and Darren Boyd, the series is a delightful watch, featuring optimism and hope but not being afraid to delve into more difficult topics and circumstances.
28. Pachinko
It tells a story across a vast canvas, following four generations of a Korean family between 1915 and 1989, with a critical moment coming in 1931, when one woman, Sunja, leaves her family in Korea to start a new life in Osaka, Japan.
