Bad Sisters

Among the latest additions to Apple TV's repertoire is Bad Sisters. This gripping drama centres around the Garvey sisters - portrayed by Anne-Marie Duff, Eva Birthistle, Sarah Greene, and Eve Hewson - whose lives are intertwined by the demise of their parents, reports the Daily Record.

The show's synopsis teases: "The tight-knit Garvey sisters have always looked out for one another. But when the toxic brother-in-law they all wanted dead actually dies, it turns their lives upside down and tests their bond like nothing before."

Before

The 10-episode thriller Before delves into the psyche of its characters. It follows Eli, a child psychiatrist mourning his wife Lynn, as he encounters a young boy whose eerie link to Eli's own history cannot be ignored.

SILO

For those in search of a compelling new watch, you won't want to miss SILO.

The narrative centres on Earth's final ten thousand inhabitants, who reside within the depths of a towering silo that shields them from the noxious planet beyond. Mysteries abound as to the origins and purpose of this sanctuary, with dire repercussions awaiting anyone who dares to delve too deep.

Rebecca Ferguson takes on the role of Juliette, a woman on a quest to unravel the circumstances surrounding a relative's death, only to uncover much more than she anticipated. The acclaimed series features Tim Robbins alongside Rebecca.

Slow Horses

Turning to a different tone, Slow Horses serves up a slice of darkly comedic drama centred around an ensemble of British spies.

They grapple with threats aimed at revealing a deep-seated MI5 secret, leading the group into a web of conspiracy that endangers not just themselves, but the very institution they serve.

Criminal Record

Lastly, Criminal Record emerges as a tense London-based crime thriller from the mind of BAFTA Award nominee Paul Rutman, starring Peter Capaldi and Cush Jumbo.

The series puts forth a gripping premise: "An anonymous phone call draws two brilliant detectives into a confrontation over an old murder case - one a young woman in the early stages of her career, the other a well-connected man determined to protect his legacy. The series touches on issues of race, institutional failure and the quest to find common ground in a polarized Britain."
