With so many shows in the Top 10 chart on Apple TV Plus, it feels like there is no shortage of content worth watching However, after taking a look at a few, I realized that just because something is popular doesn't mean it's actually worth watching, even if it debuted on one of the best streaming services out there
I also have to say that the movies trending right now aren't particularly great either (yes, “Argyle” and “Ghost”) That's why we bring you this guide - because not all of the top 10 are created equal If you're wondering what to watch next, here are the three best shows that really stand out on Apple TV Plus and are absolutely worth your time
This is based on the Apple TV Plus Top 10 shows as of Wednesday, August 28
