Beyond 'Silo': 5 Apple TV+ Sci-Fi Series Worth Your Time
Sci-fi Apple TV+ shows that grip you from start to finish.
Apple TV+ may not have the biggest library, but in just six years it’s become one of the most interesting platforms for smart, stylish science fiction.
From epic book adaptations to intimate human stories set against cosmic backdrops — these are the shows that, I think, truly make the subscription worth it.
Invasion
Yes, it’s about aliens — but forget the usual laser battles. Invasion follows five people across the globe, each caught in the chaos of first contact. Divorce papers, family struggles, personal crises all collide with the unknown.
Dr. Brain
Apple’s first Korean series, and one of its most haunting. A neuroscientist mourning his family turns to his own invention: a way to access the memories of the dead. What follows is equal parts sci-fi and ghost story.
Silo
Probably the most talked-about Apple sci-fi. Humanity survives in a massive underground bunker, ruled by strict laws and forbidden truths. Engineer Juliette Nichols dares to ask the question no one else will: why are we here?
Foundation
The crown jewel of Apple’s genre slate. Based on Isaac Asimov’s classic, it follows mathematician Hari Seldon as he predicts — and tries to soften — the collapse of a galactic empire. If you want sci-fi that’s both cerebral and spectacular, this is it.
Severance
The strangest, sharpest series of them all. At Lumon Industries, employees agree to surgically separate their work and home memories. What could go wrong? Everything, as it turns out. Watching it, I felt both unsettled and fascinated — a perfect mix of corporate satire and sci-fi paranoia.
