What's best to watch on Apple TV+ during the upcoming free weekend

The second season of 'Severance' won't start until late in January 2025, but viewers can catch up on its first season -- image credit: Apple. Apple TV+ is going free for one weekend because it lacks viewers — but it is far from lacking in absolutely superb shows to watch. Here's what to see first, and just why Apple is doing this.
As recently teased, the latest attempt takes place on the weekend of Saturday 4 January 2025 and Sunday 5 January. For 48 hours, the whole of Apple TV+ will be free to watch without subscription. This weekend, see for yourself. Stream for free Jan 4-5. pic.twitter.com/8p6PCUYpms.
It's odd that Apple isn't including the Friday, particularly as many people will still be on a Christmas/New Year break. Fridays are often when new episodes of shows drops, but this time only the season finale of "Silo" is due on January 3, 2025. New viewers can still catch that on the Saturday and Sunday, but truly new viewers should race to see "Silo" from its season 1 opener. And they should prepare to lose most of the weekend binging on the drama.
It's a curious thing but for just about the only time, you can argue that there is too much to watch on Apple TV+. Alongside "Silo" and "Severance," there are more superb dramas such as "Slow Horses," "Bad Sisters," "For All Mankind," "Lessons in Chemistry" and so many more before you even get to comedy — or films.
