The 39 Best Shows on Apple TV, WIRED’s Picks (November 2025)
Alright, pop culture fam, buckle up because we are diving DEEP into the absolute must-watch content on Apple TV+ this month, and let me tell you, the lineup is giving everything from high-stakes drama to the kind of spy shenanigans you'll be texting your group chat about. Leading the charge, obviously, is 'The Morning Show,' which is basically the 'Succession' of the media world but with more designer outfits and newsroom meltdowns that are more dramatic than any reality TV show reunion.Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon are back, serving looks and power plays that have us questioning our entire career trajectory. Then there's 'Slow Horses,' the anti-James Bond masterpiece we never knew we needed.Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb, the brilliant but disgustingly slovenly spymaster, is a masterclass in character acting—he’s the messy, genius uncle of the espionage world, and his team of MI5 rejects are so deeply flawed you can't help but stan. It’s the perfect blend of gritty London atmosphere and whip-smart, cynical humor that makes you forgive the characters for all their terrible life choices.But let's not sleep on 'Pluribus,' the new kid on the block that’s already generating serious awards buzz. This isn't just another sci-fi show; it’s a mind-bending exploration of consciousness and reality that will have you pausing every five minutes to process the plot twists and debate the ethical implications with anyone who will listen.The visual aesthetics are pure cinema, and the performances are so nuanced they make other streaming shows look like student films. What’s truly iconic about Apple TV+'s current slate is its commitment to quality over quantity.While other platforms are flooding the zone with content, Apple is curating a portfolio of prestige television that feels like a continuous run of limited series events. They’ve managed to carve out a unique identity, focusing on sophisticated, character-driven narratives with A-list talent both in front of and behind the camera.This strategy, reminiscent of HBO's golden era, is paying off in critical acclaim and a fiercely loyal subscriber base that appreciates the elevated storytelling. From the corporate chess match of 'The Morning Show' to the grimy, back-alley operations of 'Slow Horses,' the platform offers a masterclass in tonal range, proving it can compete with the giants without sacrificing its distinct, polished voice. So, clear your schedule, grab your remote, and get ready to mainline some of the best television of the year—your timeline will thank you later.
