From ’Hijack’ to ‘Criminal Record’, we’ve taken our pick of the top series that are worth your time. Over the past decade, the TV landscape has been revolutionised by streaming. Where once everyone was limited to a handful of channels and had to put up with endless repeats of Last of the Summer Wine, viewers are now faced with a glut of potential streaming services – making it harder than ever to know what to switch on.

Here are 17 of our favourite TV series to watch now on Apple TV+... Severance. This chilling corporate satire about work/life balance sees staff at a mysterious company, Lumon, get “severed” – slicing their work selves apart from their home selves so that one part of their consciousness never leaves the office and the other part never goes in. Starring Adam Scott and Patricia Arquette, it’s surreal, blackly comic, beautiful and profound. And the season finale was a nailbiting masterpiece. The first series made it onto our list of the best shows of 2022, which you can read in full here. Ellie Harrison.
