This post will be continutally updated as new shows are released and I watch them! This is a live document

This is my very personal and highly subjective ranking of the Apple TV+ shows I've watched so far. I'll be updating and adjusting this post as time goes on.

Overall Best Shows

This is me trying to rank all the shows, across all categories. This is very difficult, because it makes it look like "For All Mankind" isn't one of my favourite shows - but it truly is! It's just that there is so much good stuff on this streamer.

Dramas/Thrillers

Severance
Pachinko
For All Mankind
Slow Horses
Bad Sisters
The Mosquito Coast
Black Bird
Echo 3
Defending Jacob
Invasion
The Morning Show
Suspicion
Shining Girls
Tehran
- I only watched S1 so far, S2 is on my list
See
Truth Be Told
Servant

Comedies

Ted Lasso
Mythic Quest
Shrinking (I know it's not finished yet, and it may rise up this list as more episodes come out - but it's just sooooooo good)
The Problem with Jon Stewart
- Weird category for this show maybe, as it's a smart political talk show, but it is also truly hilarious.
Dickinson
Loot
The Afterparty
Schmigadoon!

Upcoming content I’m excited for

Extrapolations
Liason
- Looks like a very exciting spy thriller, coming February 24.
The Reluctant Traveler
The Big Door Prize
Killers of the Flower Moon
- Martin Scorsese writes, directs and produces this drama with Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert de Niro, Jesse Clemons and Lily Gladstone. Bound to be epic
Goes without saying, but next seasons of Ted Lasso, The Afterparty, Schmigadoon

Didn't watch yet

For reference, if you are surprised by your favorite show not showing in the list or something, I am listing all Apple TV+ shows that I have not yet seen (and for many of these I will never watch).\
Later I will update this post to contain which ones are on my watchlist.
