Your Friends & Neighbours
Apple TV has gone all out with its latest original, Your Friends & Neighbours. Starring Jon Hamm—in what some critics are calling his best role since Mad Men—the story follows a disgraced hedge fund manager who resorts to stealing from his ridiculously wealthy neighbours to make ends meet after losing his job. By doing so, he uncovers a heap of dangerous secrets and affairs that lurk beneath the glossy surface of his peers’ lives. Your Friends & Neighbours premieres with two episodes on Friday, April 11, with new episodes released weekly until May 30. Season 2 was also commissioned before Season 1 even dropped, which we’re taking as confirmation that it’s pretty good.
The Studio
Starring Seth Rogen, Catherine O’Hara, Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz and Chase Sui Wonders, The Studio is a comedy-drama following the newly appointed head of a Hollywood movie studio (played by Rogen) as he struggles to balance the ridiculous, powerful, and ridiculously powerful forces behind the scenes. Created by a multi-award-winning team including Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, it’s a brilliantly funny Hollywood satire stuffed to the brim with outstanding A-list cameos. You can stream the first two episodes of The Studio on Apple TV+ from March 26, with the remaining eight episodes released every Wednesday.
The Shrink Next Door
Starring Paul Rudd and Will Ferrell, you’d expect The Shrink Next Door to be a laugh a minute. But, while this dark comedy-drama has its moments, it’s more of a “I can’t believe this actually happened to someone” kind of vibe. The limited series is based on a true-crime podcast and follows the story of psychologist Dr. Ike Herschkop (Rudd) who manipulates his way into his patient, Marty’s life (played by Ferrell) and takes advantage of him financially for the next three decades. It can feel a little slow at times, but if you’re a Rudd or Ferrell fan (and, quite frankly, why wouldn’t you be?), you’ll enjoy seeing them both play the opposite of their usual roles.
Schmigadoon!
Featuring an ensemble cast led by Cecily Strong (SNL) and Keegan-Michael Key (Friends From College, Parks and Recreation), Schmigadoon! is both a spoof and a love letter to musicals simultaneously. Following an on-the-rocks couple as they find themselves trapped in a magical yet wildly outdated land, it explores their trials and tribulations as they learn lessons about love, compromise, and happiness via a series of elaborate numbers based on the Golden Age of musicals. The second series follows the same premise but progresses into the darker themes of 60s and 70s musicals like Chicago and Sweet Charity. If you like musicals, you’ll love Schmigadoon!
Loot
Maya Rudolph can do no wrong.

Combining heartache, a mid-life crisis of epic proportions, and scathing commentary around the ridiculousness of billionaires, it’s a fun, comforting, and easy watch.
Slow Horses
This action-packed drama is based on Mick Herron’s spy novel series, Slough House and follows a team of MI5 rejects as they try to foil a kidnapping that could threaten national security. Relegated to the dud office away from the action, they fight to be taken seriously while navigating a heap of corruption and cover-ups that run deep in the country’s government agencies. Starring the ridiculously talented Gary Oldman as the team’s foul-mouthed and infamous leader, Jackson Lamb, it’s as funny as it is thrilling. So, if you like big-budget yet gritty British spy dramas - this one’s worth a watch.
