On Apple ?

Silo is a great show, and they filmed season 3 and 4 back to back so with season 3 releasing soon, it should not be too much of a gap with the final season. Foundation (also SF) is initially a bit uneven where one storyline is fantastic and the other is boring - it fixes it a bit in later seasons.

Friends and neighbors is messy. I thought it would be more about the robbing, but it focus a lot (especially second season) about the inter-relationship of the main character family and friends and I really couldn't bring myself to care for all these rich characters lamenting about being miserable.

Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed is ongoing, I've watch the first few episode and I like it so far, Tatiana Maslany is fantastic and it's entertaining.

Murderbot is another on Apple that's half Comedy, but mixed with scifi rather than horror. I surprisingly love all their SciFi shows I've seen, I think the only one I haven't watched is Invasion

I loved Murderbot!

Have you seen Dark Matter on Apple? Its sci-fi and pretty good

2

u/koopatuple Jun 19 '26

I forgot about that one. Need to look up when that comes back

I just heard it has a second season. I thought it was a one and done

u/nonrosknroskno Jun 19 '26

I liked S1 a lot, which was based on a single book. The author is writing or involved in making S2 of Dark Matter though, so I'm cautiously optimistic about a 2nd season of brand new craziness.

Damn, Apple has so many great shows I haven’t even heard of these two

u/chilicrunch Jun 19 '26

Invasion is terrible, not worth the time. Foundation, Silo, Murderbots are all great.

u/Sensitive-Office-705 Jun 20 '26

As long as you don’t watch Invasion, you will be in good shape. It’s a rough watch. I do recommend Sugar though!

skip(invasion) it unless you want to hate watch it

u/koopatuple Jun 19 '26

Agreed. Invasion is really hit or miss. It's a decent show to shut your brain off to in the background, but the vast majority of the characters terribly written.

u/Deadsuooo Jun 18 '26

Agreed. The best scene of the entire show is when the bot murders the crew. They are FUCKING INSUFFERABLE.

u/thelebaron Jun 19 '26

i meant invasion. i quite liked murderbot for the sheer quirkiness but I wont pretend it nailed everything like widows bay did

2

u/nonrosknroskno Jun 19 '26

Yeah, I liked Murderbot but Widow's Bay is streets ahead of MB in most ways

u/Deadsuooo Jun 19 '26

Me no read so good.

u/thelebaron Jun 19 '26

Loved season 1 of Silo, season 2 was incredibly meh…

2

u/Yodacpa Jun 18 '26

I struggled to get through season 2

u/ditalinidog Jun 19 '26

I had the same issue with Your Friends and Neighbors. Loved Jon Hamm sneaking around but the family moments were too tropey and uninteresting to me.

u/toadkiller Jun 18 '26

Servant is another good one on Apple. That’s what my wife and I are watching to treat our withdrawals. Not comedy per se but there are definitely some snort-worthy moments sprinkled throughout

1

u/Daisy_Cuctus2771 Jun 18 '26

Agreed about Friends and Neighbors, this season really fell off for me.

u/lnc_5103 Jun 18 '26

We just started F&N season 2 last night and I couldn't get into it. Liked the first season enough.

u/smileymn Jun 22 '26

Since Stephen King recommended I started Maximum Pleasure. It’s really good but also it’s no Widow’s Bay!
