A thriller about a hijacked plane, a suspenseful detective story about a serial killer, and an unusual audio series about time anomalies.
Six years ago, the popularity of streaming services prompted Apple to create its own streaming, Apple TV+. Initially, the service's original projects failed to garner critical acclaim, but over time it began to earn coveted Emmy statuettes.
