I don't know about being like Severance, but you can't go wrong with just about anything on AppleTV. Bang for buck it's a hard to beat service.

I can't think of any show like Severance. That show is very original.

I did watch Bad Monkey (Vince Vaughn) and thought that was a pretty good show for Apple.

Doesn't hurt that Natalie Martinez is an absolute smoke show.

The Original Houston 1836

It's nothing like Severance, but For All Mankind is as good at alt-reality TV gets

Finished Bad Monkey and it's good! Currently in season 2 of For All Mankind, and totally agree - great show.

We're looking to start Silo soon, if anyone here has seen it.

Silo was good. Again, not like Severance.

Have two eps left of Bad Monkey, if you like Vince Vaughn being Vince Vaughn you'll love it. But yeah, not very Severance like. First season of Silo was good, have only watched a few eps of s2.

Only thing I can think of that's kind of Severance-like is Black Mirror on Netflix, not the same kind of show in style but thematically covers some dystopian (and more near future) technology related themes.

Silo is very good. I gave up on Severance early into this second season. Just too strange and complicated for me. I don't get the appeal.

I dunno. I thought that Morning News show or whatever it's called was pretty trash.

This is a very true statement. Lots of good shows on Apple TV. Some of my favorites below. I'm sure I'm missing a few.

Severance
Shrinking
Ted Lasso
Black bird
Silo
For All Mankind (started very strong, but last couple seasons haven't been as good IMO)
Bad Monkey
Slow Horses
Masters of the Air
Foundation
The Crowded Room

I see Severance as one of those shows that is ultimately all about answering a single question: "What the heck is going on here?" Everything else is simply to string the answer to that question out for as long as possible and to make it as entertaining as possible - typically through some plot or other convolution that prevents that answer from being exposed too fast. So look for other similar series that do the same thing. I think Silo somewhat fits that mold as well as series' like Dark, 1899, Outer Range, Lost, etc.

We don't have Apple TV

We have Prime Video (comes with membership), Peacock (limited ads up-charge), and then via Prime channels, PBS Kids (mostly for Odd Squad)

A lot of folks don't realize that Apple TV+ is available on just about every streaming device and smart TV, not just Apple TVs.

Quality response.

I'm probably the only one here who likes it, but I absolutely love Mythic Quest. It's nothing like Severance, though, so I'm not sure it helps. It's more like a cross between The Office and Silicon Valley.

Yup, it's a blast. Totally unrealistic game development process, but really fun.

I actually watched the first episode yesterday. Pretty gritty and intense, but it had enough uniqueness to it to keep me interested. It's not going to be for everyone.

Do you like Gary Oldman? If you do, Slow Horses is excellent.

If you do not like Gary Oldman, Slow Horses is still excellent.
