Only 3 Apple TV+ Series Have a Perfect 100% Score on Rotten Tomatoes (Ted Lasso's Not One of Them)
Have you seen these shows? Critics say you should.
When the Apple TV+ app launched in 2019, the idea behind it sounded like a business failure. The service was set up to produce and stream only original content, with a focus on quality over quantity. While such an approach sounded perfect to a user, it was quite new to the industry where the number of new content was directly tied to the number of users consuming it, and therefore profits.
However, as the platform approaches its 3-year anniversary, we can say that the experiment has been a huge success. Revenues from the app are growing, surpassing those of some other streaming platforms, and more importantly, many of the shows are now widely regarded as worthy of praise and your time.
The Apple TV+ dramedy CODA became the sensation of the 2022 Academy Awards, winning a number of awards counting Best Picture, the first for a streaming service. And many Apple TV+ shows have been critically and commercially acclaimed.
But which are the best of the best? According to critics at Rotten Tomatoes, there are only three Apple TV+ shows that deserve a 100% score. Here they are.
Acapulco (2021-present)
The How I Met Your Mother-esque show follows a successful businessman as he tells his nephew the story of his life's journey and great romance. It all starts when he gets a job as a pool boy at a luxury resort as a young man in the 1980s.
The 80s nostalgia, the mix of American and Mexican traditions, and the unparalleled humor make this show a perfect binge-watch.
Drops of God (2023)
A wine mogul dies, and his vast estate and remarkable wine collection has two possible heirs: a biological daughter estranged from her father in his final years, and a protégé who seems to know everything there is to know about winemaking. To decide who will inherit the wine empire, the two must compete with each other and find their own identities in the process.
Based on the Japanese manga, this show has become the best 2023 project for many viewers and is definitely worth a watch.
Bad Sisters (2022-present)
This Irish black comedy takes place in two timelines. In the present day, five Garvey sisters find themselves the prime suspects in the death of an abusive husband of one of them. The investigation is being conducted by an insurance agent determined to save his struggling business. The past timeline shows the sisters plotting the murder.
The show is an exciting blend of comedy, thriller and breathtaking scenery that will keep you glued to the screen for its entire continuation.
