I'm canceling Prime Video for Apple TV Plus this month – here are 5 reasons why

Like galore people, I can't warrant paying for each nan streamers each nan time, truthful each period I person to activity retired which is nan best streaming service successful bid to determine which streamer wins and which 1 gets binned. And this month, moreover nan remake of nan 90s teen play Cruel Intensions isn't capable to support maine connected Prime Video: for me, Apple TV Plus is wherever nan bully worldly lives this month.

Apple TV Plus is much astir value than quantity, releasing comparatively fewer caller titles each period compared to nan different streamers. But I've recovered again and again that nan shows and movies it does adhd are ones I really enjoy, whether that's nan overseas play of Sugar, which has been renewed for play 2, nan bizarre Floridian crime caper Bad Monkey aliases nan peerless Slow Horses. And this period nan caller additions are peculiarly fine. Here's what I'll beryllium watching successful nan coming weeks.

Silo Season 2 (streaming November 15)

The first play of Silo was an absolute blast, a below-ground dystopia that to this writer was acold superior to Prime Video's Fallout. And now it's back, and this clip – spoiler alert if you haven't seen play 1 – Silo play 2 is going overground pinch Rebecca Ferguson's Juliette Nichols discovering what lies above.

The linked article includes much spoilers because we've publication nan books connected which nan show is based; we fishy Season 2 will beryllium based connected nan 2nd book, Shift, which describes really and why nan silos were created. We've been told to "prepare for war", truthful we're expecting to spot immoderate epic set-pieces.

Bad Sisters Season 2 (streaming November 13)

Sharon Horgan's slayer drama returns. Described arsenic nan Irish Big Little Lies, it follows nan 5 Garvey sisters – women who determine to woody pinch 1 sibling's hubby successful a very imperishable manner.

Set 2 years aft nan events of play 1, Bad Sisters play 2 erstwhile again follows nan siblings arsenic buried secrets look and they find themselves backmost successful nan spotlight and nether suspicion. It's nan darkest of acheronian comedies, and speaking to Screen Rant Sharon Horgan promised surprises: "I dream we've brought capable surprises that are not each obvious, that are hidden, and that (fans) consciousness for illustration it's nan show but besides that it's different arsenic well."

Blitz (streaming November 22)

This looks for illustration it's going to beryllium special. Directed by Steve McQueen and starring Saoirse Ronan, Harris Dickinson, Elliott Heffernan, Kathy Burke and Stephen Graham, Blitz is nan communicative of nine-year-old George who is evacuated to nan countryside erstwhile World War II bombs travel to London. George doesn't want to beryllium evacuated, truthful he runs distant and heads for home. Adventures ensue.

Empire mag says it's McQueen's astir accessible movie yet, "mixing epic expanse pinch textured detail", and while nan 2nd half is simply a small uneven "it will make moreover nan stiffest precocious articulator quiver."

Bread & Roses (streaming November 22)

With a 100% Rotten Tomatoes standing and a drawstring of rave reviews, this powerful documentary astir nan women of Afghanistan is simply a must-watch. As The Hollywood Reporter put it, it's "an uncommon look astatine a sadistic war".

Director Sahra Mani follows 3 women, Zahra, Taranom and Sharifa, whose lives were transformed erstwhile nan Taliban seized power of Kabul 3 years ago. "This is scrappy, up-close and individual film-making," Variety says, calling nan movie "a basal howl of rage".

Shrinking (streaming now)

The 2nd play of this small gem started streaming successful mid-October but it's connected a play merchandise schedule truthful we're only partway done nan play truthful far. And if anything, season 2 is amended than nan superb play 1: it's 1 of nan very best Apple TV Plus shows I've seen connected immoderate streamer and I've been a sobbing wreck successful each episode. We besides now cognize that a Shrinking season 3 is connected nan way, truthful I fishy much sobbing is connected nan cards.

Shrinking is half comedy, half drama: erstwhile it's funny it's gut-bustingly so, and erstwhile it's sad, which it often is, it'll break your heart. Jason Segel and Harrison Ford are awesome nosy successful nan lead roles but this is an ensemble formed wherever everyone delivers; Jessica Williams and Christa Miller are peculiarly great.
