Apple TV+ shows launch list, what's the best one so far?
The new Apple TV+ streamer is free for a year if you get most any new Apple device (save for the Watch, of course), and if you are a student, it will even get folded into your Apple Music subscription.
The average user who just got an iPhone, iPad or Apple TV puck will probably appreciate more that Apple is giving its debut shows away, and if you have binged some over the weekend, a few favorites might have shaped up. This is why we wanted to ask you which of the freshly baked Apple TV+ content is your fav so far?

The Morning Show
Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Anniston and Steve Carell star in the new Apple Morning Show
“For All Mankind”
Produced by Sony Pictures Television and Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica), For All Mankind explores the future of a fictional global space race. Jodi Balfour plays pilot Ellen Waverly, joining previously announced Joel Kinnaman (The Killing, Altered Carbon), Michael Dorman (Patriot, Wonderland), Sarah Jones (Damnation The Path), Shantel VanSanten (Shooter, One Tree Hill) and Wrenn Schmidt (The Looming Tower, Outcast).
“Dickinson” is an Emily Dickinson comedy (of all things) with Hailee Steinfeld
This coming-of-age comedy is set during the great American poet Emily Dickinson’s times from the viewpoint of Emily (Steinfeld). The retro environment mixes modern questions about gender’s places in society, family relationships and the writer who is well ahead of her times. Now this mashup would be interesting to see, and with cast like Hailee Steinfeld (Pitch Perfect 3, True Grit) and producers Alena Smith (The Affair, The Newsroom). “Dickinson” will likely be a harbinger of what’s to come in Apple’s new streaming service – curated shows that won’t be a dime a dozen to see what sticks like the Netflix approach.
“See” series with Jason Momoa
The Aquaman Jason Momoa has been cast in the lead role for the Apple original series “See,” which is shaping up to be the most popular TV+ entry so far. Mankind, or what is left of it, is now blind, and the show sounds like an epic survival drama in the future. Momoa is playing Baba Voss, a fearless warrior and leader, what else.
