Apple TV+ is having a very good year, with a growing subscriber base and more critical acclaim than ever. But amid what’s otherwise been a slow season for new TV, Apple is currently airing two of its best reviewed shows of the year: Chief of War and Platonic.
#1: Chief of War
Chief of War Apple TV+
Chief of War premiered on Apple TV+ at the beginning of August as a Jason Momoa extravaganza.
Momoa not only stars in the series, but he co-created, executive produced, wrote, and even directed an episode of it. As Apple says, it’s very much a passion project for him.
The action epic currently has a strong 93% score on Rotten Tomatoes, putting it among Apple’s top series this year.
Here are some quotes from TV critics:
And here’s Apple’s official summary of the series and its trailer:
Embark on an epic adventure about the origin of Hawai‘i and its people. Jason Momoa stars as Kaʻiana, a fearless warrior on a mission to unite his homeland as a monumental power struggle erupts among the four kingdoms.
You can watch Chief of War now on Apple TV+.
New episodes will debut every Friday through September 19.
#2: Platonic
Platonic season 2 debuted last week as yet another Seth Rogen-starring comedy for Apple.
Just like The Studio did earlier this year, Platonic is earning near-universal praise from critics.
The new season currently has a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes:
The Age: “Platonic has become one of television’s best half-hour comedies.”
The Daily Beast: “Rogen and Byrne are so ideally well-paired—his ragamuffin slacker wiseassery meshing perfectly with her frazzled put-together anxiety and wannabe-cool awkwardness—that they make it TV’s most steadfast laugh-out-loud affair.”
Collider: “Season 2 is another winner, finding novel new challenges to test platonic dynamics and showcasing top-notch timing from every member of the team for one of the year’s best comedy TV series.”
Here’s Apple’s official summary and the trailer:
You can watch Platonic now on Apple TV+.
Platonic will be debuting new episodes every Wednesday through October 1.
Apple TV+ is available for $9.99 per month and features hit TV shows and movies like Ted Lasso, Severance, The Morning Show, Silo, and Shrinking.
