Stars Are Hiding on Apple TV

So, Apple has its own production company making content for Apple TV. They’ve made some gripping series, including a great adaptation of Mick Herron’s Slough House series of spy novels, Slow Horses. They’ve had the Tom Hanks-produced series Masters of the Air, which follows the American bombers of World War II, and the wonderfully taut mini-series Hijack featuring Idris Elba. The biggest hit has probably been Ted Lasso.

There’s a strange connective “sheen” to all Apple TV productions, save perhaps for Slow Horses.
