Apple TV: The Buccaneers
Five friends from New York who are each from newly
wealthy families, go to England to snag husbands from
among the single Dukes and Lords. The time is during
the late 1800’s, America’s Gilded Age, when new money
shoved its way into English aristocracy. The 8-episode
first season is fast paced and uses modern music to help
set the scenes – similar to Bridgerton. The series is very
soap-operas, easy to watch, and easy on the eyes.
Apple TV: For All Mankind – Seasons 1-4
The “What If” series that reimagines the U.S. Soviet
Union/Russian space race. It changes key pieces of
history and plays with actual events while weaving in new
characters and old footage to make a unique and
enjoyable series that spans decades. The character arcs,
well managed special effects, and the aspirational yet
problematic people and governments make the series one
of Apple TV’s best.
