There's been another bulk release of Epstein files, and one of the prominent names to pop up is Elon Musk.

In the monologue above, Late Show host Stephen Colbert mocks the world's richest man, who has previously said he "always declined" Epstein's invitations to visit his island.

"He's publicly bragged that Mr Epstein 'tried to get me to go to his island and I REFUSED,' says Colbert. "But really. Did you?"

The host goes on to read an email reportedly sent from Musk to Epstein in 2012, asking if he had "any parties planned" and saying he wanted to "let loose."

"An email which was sent at 6:07 a.m. on Christmas morning," says Colbert. "Hey, say what you want, but he's a high achiever."

Elsewhere, Jon Stewart and Jimmy Kimmel also dug into the latest Epstein files release.

At the time of its release, our review of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 from writer Adam Doud had high praise, even if the battery life was a bit of a letdown. In regard to this, he said "There's no question this watch can last you a full day on a charge. It definitely won't last you two days." However, ultimately, he said "I really like the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8, despite the battery life. I love the classy look, the software is really tight, and the Google Gemini integration is a big perk."

Don't wait, now is as good a time as any to grab the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 for $259.99 at Amazon.

TL;DR: The Acer Nitro 27-inch WQHD gaming monitor is now down to just $199.99 at Amazon. That's 33% knocked off its usual $299.99 list price.

If you’ve been waiting to upgrade from a basic 1080p screen, Acer has just dropped a solid deal that makes a compelling case for jumping to QHD without blowing your budget. As of Feb. 3, the 27-inch Acer Nitro WQHD gaming monitor (XV272U model) has dropped to $199.99 at Amazon, marking a $100 discount off its $299.99 list price. That’s a 33% price cut on a high-refresh 1440p gaming display.

It’s not only the best price we’ve seen for this particular monitor yet (confirmed by price tracker camelcamelcamel), but it also undercuts many competing high-refresh monitors by a wide margin — making it a great go-to if you’re open to brands outside of LG and Samsung.

At the core of the appeal is its 2560x1440 resolution, which will deliver noticeably sharper detail than Full HD while still being easier to drive than 4K. The IPS panel covers 99% of the sRGB color space, so it’s not just a gaming upgrade; it’s also well-suited for everyday work, streaming, and light creative tasks.

Where this monitor really flexes is speed. A blistering 300Hz refresh rate paired with up to a 0.5ms response time should also help keep fast-paced games — like Fortnite, Arc Raiders, and the new Highguard — looking smooth and responsive. AMD FreeSync Premium support works to reduce screen tearing and stutter, while DisplayHDR 400 adds a modest boost to highlights and contrast. 

If you’re willing to spend a bit more on full 4K, the LG UltraGear 27-inch gaming monitor has also just hit a record-low price. For more from Acer, the 49-inch Acer Nitro curved gaming monitor is also at its lowest-ever price on Amazon.

We're officially overloaded with streaming services by 2025, with each costing a pretty penny of your pay packet to keep. Whether you decide to shell out for a service typically comes down to the shows and movies on offer, whether you're looking for buzzy Netflix series or Sunday night HBO heavyweights. But there's an underrated competitor in the mix, especially for TV shows.

Apple TV+, Apple's own streaming service, has become better and better over the years, hitting it out of the park with sci-fi smashes like Severance, Silo, and Pluribus, along with comedy wins like Shrinking, Bad Sisters, and Ted Lasso — plus a few curveballs mixed in here and there.

One important thing to know? Apple TV is not the same thing as an Apple TV. As Mashable's Stan Schroeder explains it, "Apple TV is both the name for the set-top-box hardware device that you buy and connect to your TV, as well as the app that's available on Apple TV (the set-top-box), as well as Macs, iPhones, and other TV operating systems. And then there's Apple TV, which is Apple's streaming service and a competitor to Netflix, HBO Max, and others."

Got it? So, what are the best TV shows on Apple TV? Here are our picks of the streaming service's original series, ranked.

41. The Shrink Next Door Paul Rudd and Will Ferrell in “The Shrink Next Door." Credit: Apple TV

Inspired by true events, The Shrink Next Door sends Paul Rudd and Will Ferrell into a complicated web of manipulation, power plays, and mic-drop moments. The series hinges on unethical psychiatrist Dr. Ike Herschkopf (Paul Rudd) and his patient, Marty Markowitz (Will Ferrell), who have a dysfunctional relationship that becomes more and more imbalanced and twisted as Ike weasels his way into Marty's life. Kathryn Hahn stars as Marty’s younger sister Phyllis, and Casey Wilson plays Bonnie, Ike's wife. — Shannon Connellan, UK Editor

Starring: Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Kathryn Hahn, Casey Wilson, Cornell Womack, Sarayu Blue, Robin Bartlett, and Gable Swanlund

40. Time Bandits Tadhg Murphy, Roger Jean Nsengiyumva, Lisa Kudrow, Kal-El Tuck, Kiera Thompson and Rune Temte in "Time Bandits." Credit: Apple TV

Time Bandits, Terry Gilliam's classic '80s fantasy adventure, got the TV adaptation treatment by Taika Waititi, Jemaine Clement, and Iain Morris. And despite the show being sadly cancelled after one season, it's still worth your while to watch.

Over 10 episodes, Time Bandits sees a group of thieves in a fantasy world who are suddenly joined by Kevin (Kal-El Tuck), an 11-year-old history aficionado. Kevin's parents find themselves in peril across time and space, so his knowledge of historical events — and his new group of friends — might be their only hope. Across the Stone Age, Ice Age, many other Ages, across major moments in the history books, Kevin and the gang time-travel every episode, meeting a few famous historic faces. — S.C.

Starring: Kal-El Tuck, Lisa Kudrow, Tadhg Murphy, Roger Jean Nsengiyumva, Rune Temte, Charlyne Yi, Rachel House, Kiera Thompson, James Dryden, Felicity Ward, Francesca Mills, and Imaan Hadchiti.

39. Defending Jacob Chris Evans, Jaeden Martell, and Michelle Dockery in “Defending Jacob." Credit: Apple TV

Given its grim subject matter, Mark Bomback's crime drama won't be for everyone. Defending Jacob follows Assistant DA Andy Barber (Chris Evans), whose life is thrown into turmoil after his son Jacob (a haunted Jaeden Martell) is charged with the murder of a classmate. The show immediately chucks us in at the deep end, with the question of Jacob's innocence hanging over the Barber family like a storm cloud that threatens to badly damage or even break them altogether. It's tense, well-written, and the acting — including a disturbingly memorable turn from Michelle Dockery as Jacob's struggling mother, Laurie — is excellent across the board.

Some have argued that the show doesn't do enough to justify its dark storyline, but I found it to be a horribly suspenseful exploration of how far familial bonds will stretch before they snap altogether. Can you ever fully know anyone? Can you trust your closest family members no matter what? Love them no matter what? These are the questions Defending Jacob asks, and, as the Barber family wrestle with each new piece of evidence that comes to light, the answers don't come easy. — Sam Haysom, Deputy UK Editor

38. Palm Royale Carol Burnett and Kristen Wiig in "Palm Royale" Credit: Apple TV

Kristen Wiig infiltrates the world's most exclusive country club in Emmy–nominated comedy Palm Royale. The year is 1969, and underdog Maxine Dellacorte-Simmons (Wiig) wants nothing more to be a part of high society in Palm Beach, Florida. That means crashing the lavish Palm Royale club, where she'll be met with snobbery and disdain at every turn. While Palm Royale is far from Apple TV+'s best comedy offering, it does boast an all-star cast of comedy greats over two seasons, including a fabulous Carol Burnett. And you just can't beat those costumes. — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter

Starring: Kristen Wiig, Ricky Martin, Laura Dern, Carol Burnett, Allison Janney, Leslie Bibb, Amber Chardae, and Josh Lucas

How to watch: Palm Royale is now streaming on Apple TV.

37. Government Cheese Evan Ellison, Jahi Di’Allo Winston, David Oyelowo, and Simone Missick in "Government Cheese." Credit: Apple TV

Set in 1969, Aeysha Carr and Paul Hunter's series Government Cheese didn't get the buzz it deserved, with sharp writing and excellent performances. David Oyelowo (Selma, Silo) stars as Hampton Chambers, an engineer newly out of prison and adjusting to life back home with his family in Chatsworth, in the San Fernando Valley. It's not an easy landing by any means, with his wife Astoria (Simone Missick), pole vaulting brainiac son Einstein (Evan Ellison), and vexed teen son Harrison (Di’Allo Winston), having very differing reactions to Hampton's return. But despite his awkward reception, Hampton has spent his time planning a potentially (and literally) groundbreaking invention: the Bit Magician. But leaving his past behind is harder than it seems, with the series itself flashing back and forth between Hampton's present and previous experiences. — S.C.

Starring: David Oyelowo, Simone Missick, Jahi Di’Allo Winston, Evan Ellison, Bokeem Woodbine, Jeremy Bobb, Louis Cancelmi, Julien Heron, Thomas Beaudoin, Kyle Mac, and Adam Beach

36. Sunny Rashida Jones in "Sunny." Credit: Apple TV

A robot and a grieving woman make for an unlikely crime-solving duo in soft sci-fi mystery Sunny. Rashida Jones stars as Suzie, an American expat living in Kyoto, whose husband Masa (Hidetoshi Nishijima) and son Zen (Fares Belkheir) go missing in a plane crash. Following their disappearance, she receives Sunny, a companion robot Masa developed for her at work. Despite hating robots, Suzie decides to work with the ever-cheerful Sunny to uncover the truth about Masa's work and his and Zen's accident. The ensuing journey takes this odd couple pairing deep into a criminal underworld of gang showdowns and robot fighting rings. While occasionally bloated, Sunny's central duo and sci-fi world-building make it well worth the watch. — B.E.

Starring: Rashida Jones, Joanna Sotomura, annie the clumsy, Hidetoshi Nishijima, Jun Kunimura, Judy Ongg, and You

How to watch: Sunny is now streaming on Apple TV.

35. Shining Girls Elisabeth Moss in “Shining Girls." Credit: Apple TV

Imagine the ghoulish love child of Sliding Doors and Zodiac, and you'll get the gist of this mini-series adaptation of Lauren Beukes' 2013 crime novel. Created by Silka Luisa, Shining Girls centers on Kirby Mazrachi (Elisabeth Moss), an archivist whose reality has been shifting without warning ever since she was viciously attacked and left for dead in 1980s Chicago. One moment she's living with her mom, and the next she's married to a co-worker she barely knows. She doesn't understand why this is happening but is certain it connects to a stalking serial killer (Jamie Bell), who's been targeting fantastic women across decades.

Featuring graphic violence, time-travel twists, and harrowing revelations, Shining Girls can be a tough watch. But its finale episode makes it all worthwhile. Luisa smartly buttons up the mysteries of these murders, their un-aging perpetrator, and what it means to become disentangled on a molecular level. More than answers, however, this finale gives poetic justice to its villain and a hard-won empowerment to its harried heroine. Which, considering how Kirby's quest to be believed plays like the most extreme version of a domestic violence survivor's experiences coming forward, is darkly and deeply satisfying. — Kristy Puchko, Entertainment Editor

Starring: Elisabeth Moss, Phillipa Soo, Wagner Moura, Jamie Bell, Erika Alexander, Amy Brenneman, Chris Chalk, and Madeline Brewer

34. Masters of the Air Austin Butler in "Masters of the Air." Credit: Apple TV

If you loved Band of Brothers and The Pacific, you need to watch Masters of the Air. Based on Donald L. Miller's book, John Shiban and John Orloff's Emmy–winning World War II series follows the 100th Bomb Group (known as "The Bloody Hundredth" due to heavy losses), the U.S. Army Air Force bomber and fighter battalion deployed to England in 1943 as part of the Allied war effort against Germany. Austin Butler and Callum Turner lead the charge as the real Major Gale "Buck" Cleven and Major John "Bucky" Egan, and the series moves through the missions, downtime, tragedies, and sense of camaraderie within the unit. Yes, the series takes some creative liberties, but producers Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, and Gary Goetzman threw 10 years and $250 million at the show — so when you're experiencing a live-or-die tactical manoeuvre, you're in the pilot's seat. — S.C.

Starring: Austin Butler, Callum Turner, Barry Keoghan, and Anthony Boyle

How to watch: Masters of the Air is now streaming on Apple TV.

33. Hijack Idris Elba in "Hijack." Credit: Apple TV

Set over seven real-time hours, Hijack is something you could finish on a flight but should absolutely not watch on one. With Jim Field Smith and Mo Ali directing, and Idris Elba in the lead, this Apple TV+ series is about a plane hijacked on its way to London. Elba plays Sam Nelson, a corporate negotiator who tries to bargain with flight KA29's villains all the way to the final humdinger of an episode. As Mashable's Belen Edwards writes in her review, "Hijack is the perfect show to watch if you want to get sucked into a mildly ridiculous, yet totally engrossing scenario. You'll squeal as our heroes brave danger, swoon at Elba's charisma, and even chuckle at some choice one-liners."* — S.C.

Starring: Idris Elba, Neil Maskell, Archie Panjabi, Max Beesley, Christine Adams, Jude Cudjoe, and Eve Myles

How to watch: Hijack is now streaming on Apple TV.

32. Central Park Meet the Tillermans. Credit: Apple TV

It's a show central in our hearts. Loren Bouchard, Josh Gad, and Nora Smith's sharply scripted animated musical comedy Central Park hinges on New York family the Tillermans: park manager Owen (Leslie Odom Jr.) and journalist Paige (Kathryn Hahn), their son Cole (Tituss Burgess), and daughter Molly (Kristen Bell in Season 1, Emmy Raver-Lampman in Season 2). They're the custodians of Manhattan's beloved green space, which comes under threat by bespectacled wealthy villain Bitsy Brandenham (Stanley Tucci), accompanied by her assistant Helen (Daveed Diggs). It's a plight all hilariously narrated by Gad as park busker Birdie — the show's absolutely brimming with songs.

"Whether it's throwaway jokes or spotlight solos, the cast both elevate and benefit from Central Park's tight, confident writing," writes Proma Khosla in her review for Mashable. "Central Park is a show that easily wears all hats. The storylines are simple, but it's [their] style and sensibility that make them so enjoyable. It's a show that can soothe you by being on in the background but offers nonstop punchlines and Easter eggs if you give it your full (deserved) attention." — S.C.

Starring: Leslie Odom Jr., Kathryn Hahn, Tituss Burgess, Kristen Bell, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Stanley Tucci, Daveed Diggs, and Josh Gad

How to watch: Central Park is now streaming on Apple TV.

31. The Buccaneers Alisha Boe, Josie Totah, Kristine Frøseth, Aubri Ibrag, and Imogen Waterhouse in "The Buccaneers." Credit: Apple TV

If you're yearning for the next season of Bridgerton, The Buccaneers will satiate your Regency thirst. Based on Edith Wharton’s final novel and created by Katherine Jakeways, The Buccaneers is a 19th-century romantic drama with diabolical narrative twists and long-simmering romantic leads, as well as that requisite anachronistic modern soundtrack and the lavish design of our society ball dreams.

The story sees a group of young American ladies — Nan St. George (Kristine Frøseth), Jinny St. George (Imogen Waterhouse), Lizzy Elmsworth (Aubri Ibrag), Mabel Elmsworth (Josie Totah) — who are drawn to England after their friend Conchita Closson's (Alisha Boe) high-society wedding to an English lord. Arriving in London, the newcomers face deep social scorn while channelling their own. But there's also a rugged array of suitors taking a turn about the landscape, including a forlorn duke who enjoys standing on clifftops — and who must be in want of a wife. — S.C.

Starring: Alisha Boe, Josie Totah, Kristine Frøseth, Aubri Ibrag, and Imogen Waterhouse

How to watch: The Buccaneers is now streaming on Apple TV.

30. Mythic Quest Charlotte Nicdao, Rob McElhenney. and Danny Pudi in “Mythic Quest." Credit: Apple TV

Whether you're into gaming or not, you should check out Mythic Quest. From the crew behind It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia comes four seasons (and a spinoff show Side Quest) of ups and downs inside the video game industry, specifically within the offices of a game studio responsible for the show's titular MMORPG. The cast — including Rob McElhenney, Charlotte Nicdao, Jessie Ennis, Ashly Burch, Danny Pudi, and more — are superb, the commentary on gaming is bang on, and the show's standalone episode, "Dark Quiet Death," has to be one of the best of all time. — S.C.

Starring: Rob McElhenney, Charlotte Nicdao, Jessie Ennis, Ashly Burch, and Danny Pudi

How to watch: Mythic Quest is now streaming on Apple TV.

29. The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin Hugh Bonneville and Noel Fielding in "The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin." Credit: Apple TV

If you don't mind your history a little revisionist and plenty ridiculous, The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin is for you.

Based on the exploits of Essex brigand Dick Turpin (Noel Fielding in full Vince Noir mode), the series seizes on the fact that Turpin's life was wildly romanticised after his death at 33 (by hanging, for horse theft) — then amps it up to 11. Rolling about the woods with his Essex Gang of misfits, Turpin takes on a peril of the week in Monty Python meets Our Flag Means Death meets The Mighty Boosh–fashion. Throw in some cameos from Britain's biggest comedians, with standout appearances by Tamsin Greig, Greg Davies, and Sex Education's Connor Swindells, and you've got a surreal, satisfying, history-adjacent adventure on your hands.* — S.C.

Starring: Noel Fielding, Tamsin Greig, Greg Davies, Connor Swindells, Michael Fielding, Mark Heap, Ellie White, Duayne Boachie, Marc Wootton, Dolly Wells, Asim Chaudhry, Sindhu Vee, and Simon Farnaby

How to watch: The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin is now streaming on Apple TV.

28. The Morning Show Nicole Beharie, Jennifer Aniston, and Reese Witherspoon in "The Morning Show." Credit: Apple TV

With Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Steve Carell leading the first season, The Morning Show starts the day right — in the most unsettling way. Created by Jay Carson and inspired by Brian Stelter's 2013 book, the series is set in the world of morning news broadcasting, examining the power dynamics within it — especially amid the #MeToo movement and the COVID-19 pandemic. Over increasingly high-drama seasons, The Morning Show examines the ethics of news and the people who report it, all dealing with personal and professional hurdles under an extremely bright, incessant daily spotlight. — S.C.

Starring: Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Steve Carell, Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Néstor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, Bel Powley, Desean Terry, Greta Lee, Julianna Margulies, and Jon Hamm

27. Dark Matter Joel Edgerton in "Dark Matter." Credit: Apple TV

Sometimes the idea behind a story is so good it's practically begging to be watched. Taking his own novel of the same name and adapting it for the screen, Blake Crouch's Dark Matter follows physicist Jason (Joel Edgerton) as he's kidnapped by an alternative version of himself and trapped in a parallel universe. The way these worlds are linked? A box that gives you access to all the infinite lives you could have led. Jennifer Connelly, Alice Braga, Jimmi Simpson, Dayo Okeniyi, and Oakes Fegley also star in this sci-fi thriller that's popular with viewers and critics. — S.H.

Starring: Joel Edgerton, Jennifer Connelly, Alice Braga, Amanda Brugel, Dayo Okeniyi, Jimmi Simpson, and Oakes Fegley

26. Platonic Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen in "Platonic." Credit: Apple TV

Answering the age-old When Harry Met Sally question of whether heterosexual men and women can be just friends, Francesca Delbanco and Nicholas Stoller's Platonic is a brilliantly written, authentically performed, and genuinely compelling examination of modern friendship. "This isn't a prolonged remake retreading a tale of opposites-attract romance," writes Mashable's Kristy Puchko in her review. "Instead, this show takes that kinetic dynamic and the odd-couple concept and spins it into a series of misadventures that are thrillingly outrageous and freshly entertaining. This isn't just a story about friendship; it's the hang-out series you may well be aching for."

Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen are hilariously relatable as full-time mum Sylvia and brewery owner Will, former best mates out of touch until their mid-40s when Will goes through a divorce. Awkwardly reconnecting means facing a few things about their relationship and getting older, but it also means dynamite banter between Byrne and Rogen. — S.C.

Starring: Rose Byrne, Seth Rogen, Tre Hale, Luke Macfarlane, Andrew Lopez, and Carla Gallo

How to watch: Platonic is now streaming on Apple TV.

25. Presumed Innocent Jake Gyllenhaal and Bill Camp in "Presumed Innocent." Credit: Apple TV

If you're in the market for a tense and well-made legal thriller with strong performances, you could do a lot worse than Presumed Innocent. Based on Scott Turow's 1987 novel, Big Little Lies creator David E. Kelley's adaptation follows a prosecutor (Jake Gyllenhaal) under suspicion for the murder of his colleague.

"This new mini-series is a fairly stock legal drama that's not necessarily all that new in terms of what it offers," I wrote in my Mashable review. "But the story itself feels contemporary, with its themes of sexual power dynamics and legal corruption. What it does, it does very well, with a fast-paced story, well-written script, and excellent performances across the board." — S.H.

Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Ruth Negga, Peter Sarsgaard, O-T Fagbenle, Bill Camp, Lily Rabe, Nana Mensah, Chase Infiniti, Kingston Rumi Southwick, and Rosanna Arquette

24. Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Anna Sawai in "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters." Credit: Apple TV

Legendary's MonsterVerse movies (Godzilla, Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla vs. Kong) make their first stomp into live-action TV with Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, a series with its reptilian eye fixed on the establishment of Monarch, the secret monster-studying organisation. The show bounces around time periods, between the 1950s and 2010s, and has more than its fair share of monstrous creatures to behold. As Mashable's Belen Edwards writes, "The richness of Monarch's world — and its glorious, glorious monsters — keeps the show intriguing even when it gets bogged down in the MonsterVerse's oft-maligned human affairs." — S.C.

Starring: Anna Sawai, Kurt Russell, Mari Yamamoto, Anders Holm, Wyatt Russell, Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, Elisa Lasowski, and Joe Tippett

How to watch: Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is now streaming on Apple TV.

23. Loot Maya Rudolph and Joel Kim Booster in "Loot." Credit: Apple TV

Apple TV comedies are strong stuff, and Maya Rudolph's Loot is one of the best. The comedy star leads as billionaire Molly Novak, who's recently received a hefty settlement in her divorce but is at loose ends as to what's next. Picked up off the glossy floor of her sprawling home by her assistant Nicholas (Joel Kim Booster), she realises she has a charity foundation run by Sofia Salinas (Michaela Jaé Rodriguez) and so she starts on a fresh new journey, with accountant Arthur (Nat Faxon) and cousin Howard (Ron Funches) in tow. But there'll be more than a few life lessons and perspective shifts in store.

Season 2 meets up with Molly in a new chapter, and adds an ample dash of Benjamin Bratt, and Season 3 dropping in guest stars including D'Arcy Carden, Zane Phillips, and Henry Winkler. — S.C.

Starring: Maya Rudolph, Joel Kim Booster, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Adam Scott, Nat Faxon, Ron Funches, Meagen Fay, Stephanie Styles, Benjamin Bratt, D'Arcy Carden, Zane Phillips, and Henry Winkler.

22. Your Friends and Neighbors Jon Hamm, Amanda Peet, and Mark Tallman in "Your Friends & Neighbours." Credit: Apple TV

Jon Hamm enters his robber era in Your Friends and Neighbors. The Emmy-winning Mad Men star plays Andrew "Coop" Cooper, a disgraced hedge fund manager who finds himself totally broke after a surprise firing. How will he keep up his affluent lifestyle? By stealing from his neighbors in his wealthy community of Westmont Village, of course!

Coop's descent into burglary leads him to discover his neighbors' deepest, darkest secrets, a premise that's juicy enough to get you hooked immediately. However, your mileage on Your Friends and Neighbors may vary depending on how much more TV you want to watch about the woes of the uber-rich — a market that's already saturated thanks to shows like The White Lotus and Nine Perfect Strangers. — B.E.

Starring: Jon Hamm, Amanda Peet, Olivia Munn, Hoon Lee, Mark Tallman, Lena Hall, Aimee Carrero, Eunice Bae, Isabel Marie Gravitt, and Donovan Colan

21. Stick Owen Wilson and Marc Maron in "Stick." Credit: Apple TV

Want to scratch your Ted Lasso itch while still watching something new? Then check out Stick, which is basically Ted Lasso: Golf Edition. Owen Wilson stars as Pryce Cahill, a washed-up pro golfer who decides to mentor prodigy Santi Wheeler (Peter Dager). The pair hit the tournament circuit, along with Santi's mother Elena (Mariana Treviño), Pryce's former caddy Mitts (Marc Maron), and Santi's new caddy Zero (Lilli Kay).

Created by Jason Keller, Stick occasionally takes one too many pages from the book of Ted Lasso, from its focus on mental health and grief to coining its own "be the goldfish"-type slogan. Still, there's no denying its many charms, including its ability to make even a golf skeptic like me get invested in every round. Like I wrote in my review, "As familiar as these [Ted Lasso] beats are, there's no denying they make a solid base for any feel-good comedy.

If you're a fiend for a whodunnit, consider yourself a bit of a Miss Marple, and regularly declare "J'accuse!" at your unsuspecting pals, follow the clues to The Afterparty. A star-studded comedy that twists and turns through various genres in one perplexing mystery, the series hinges around the untimely death of a rich pop star after a high school reunion. After Season 1's deeply rewarding finale, jump right into the second season, where another murder lurks the morning after a big wedding — and no genre is safe. — S.C.

Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson are the dynamic duo of my dreams in Apple TV's Oxford-set mystery crime thriller from Slow Horses' screenwriter Morwenna Banks. But it's not the buddy cop set-up you're thinking.

Based on Mick Herron's novel, Down Cemetery Road sees Thompson as hard-edged private investigator Zoë Boehm, whose marriage to her business partner Joe (Adam Godley) is as threadbare as their bank balance. Across town, Wilson plays Sarah Trafford, an art conservationist who is dragged into hosting a dinner party for her husband Mark's (Tom Riley) schmuck of a client. Before dessert, there's an explosion next door, leading to the disappearance of a young girl named Dinah (Ivy Quoi). The event sends Sarah into an obsessive hunt for the truth — and it leads her to Zoë and Joe's door.* — S.C.

Starring: Emma Thompson, Ruth Wilson, Adeel Akhtar, Tom Goodman-Hill, Fehinti Balogun, Darren Boyd, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Tom Riley, Adam Godley, Sinead Matthews, Ken Nwosu, and Aiysha Hart

18. Disclaimer Cate Blanchett in "Disclaimer." Credit: Apple TV

Five-time Academy Award–winning filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón teams with two-time Academy Award–winning actress Cate Blanchett for a seven-part thriller sure to get your blood pumping. Written and directed by Cuarón, Disclaimer stars Blanchett as Catherine Ravenscroft, a revered journalist who has built her career on unearthing the sordid secrets of others. However, her life is thrown into turmoil when an unsolicited novel shows up on her doorstep, its pages spilling out the skeletons within her own closet. 

In her review for Mashable, Entertainment Reporter Belen Edwards writes, "The overall effect of Disclaimer is one of intrigue and of questioning the layers of narrative you see before you. With its commitment to formal changeups and a brutal knockout of a finale, Disclaimer is a puzzle that gets under your skin and refuses to leave."* — K.P.

Starring: Cate Blanchett, Kevin Kline, Sacha Baron Cohen, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Lesley Manville, Louis Partridge, Leila George, and Hoyeon

A show for musical lovers, by musical lovers, Season 1 of Schmigadoon! is a loving tribute to Golden Age musicals. Think Oklahoma!, The Music Man, and The Sound of Music. In a Brigadoon-esque plot, a couple (played by Cecily Strong and Keegan-Michael Key) whose relationship is going through a rough patch stumbles upon a magical village where life is a musical. From there, it's a nonstop parade of joyful musical numbers, delivered by a cast of Broadway mainstays like Kristin Chenoweth, Aaron Tveit, Alan Cumming, and Ariana DeBose. Theaters kids, eat your heart out. Schmigadoon! is a treat. And Season 2 brings more fun, but with a darker edge.* — B.E.

16. For All Mankind Joel Kinnaman and Sonya Walger in "For All Mankind." Credit: Apple TV

It's Apple's big "what-if" series, which hypothesizes an alternate timeline of the global space race. Created by Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert, and Ben Nedivi, For All Mankind kicks off Season 1 with the Soviet Union landing the first human on the moon in June 1969, leaving NASA scrambling to catch up. Season 2 picks up in the Cold War, Season 3 jumps into the '90s with the race to land on Mars, and Season 4 is all about the establishment of a self-sustaining colony on the red planet.

"If you're here because you're a fan of For All Mankind creator Ronald D. Moore's earlier work, check your expectations," writes Adam Rosenberg in his review for Mashable. "This isn't science fiction. There's science in the NASA stuff and a layer of grounded fantasy in the alternate timeline premise, but there's no secret alien invasion twist here or anything. For All Mankind plays it straight instead." And for what it's worth, Stephen King bloody loves it. — S.C.

15. Trying Esther Smith and Rafe Spall in "Trying." Credit: Apple TV

In Andy Wolton's charming, heartfelt series, London couple Nikki (Esther Smith) and Jason (Rafe Spall) want to start a family of their own. As the series' title suggests, they go up and down a few roads, and ultimately pursue adoption — with all the complications and trials that come with it. Over three seasons, Nikki and Jason's friends and family help them through it all, and you'll chuckle as much as tear up through each moment. Smith and Spall are superb rom-com leads, navigating the highs and lows that come with becoming parents with delightful insights and poignant realism. — S.C.

Starring: Esther Smith, Rafe Spall, Siân Brooke, Darren Boyd, Imelda Staunton, Paula Wilcox, Phil Davis, Jim Broadbent, Oliver Chris, Robyn Cara, Scarlett Rayner, Navin Chowdhry, Roderick Smith, and Marian McLoughlin

14. Chief of War Jason Momoa in "Chief of War." Credit: Apple TV

Created by Jason Momoa and Thomas Pa'a Sibbett, Chief of War is a vast history epic detailing the unification of Hawaii by Kamehameha (Kaina Makua), amid constant war between the islands and the impending encroachment of colonial powers. Momoa plays Maui warrior Ka'iana, who is summoned home to make the choice of whether to join his King Kahekili (Temuera Morrison) in war.

With events told from an Indigenous perspective, the show marks a landmark moment for Polynesian representation on screen. As Mashable's Belen Edwards explains in her review, "The show's primarily Polynesian cast, led by Momoa, spends the vast majority of the series speaking in Hawaiian, while an army of cultural consultants worked behind the scenes to ensure cultural and historical authenticity. Their efforts, along with those of Chief of War's entire production team, create an immersive, stunning look back through time, as the series transports viewers to the Hawaiian Islands at the end of the 18th century."

Starring: Jason Momoa, Luciane Buchanan, Te Ao o Hinepehinga, Kaina Makua, Temuera Morrison, Te Kohe Tuhaka, Brandon Finn, Siua Ikaleʻo, Mainei Kinimaka, Keala Kahuanui-Paleka, Roimata Fox, Moses Goods, James Udom

Ready for a crime drama full of twists, heralded actors, and character-driven humor? Based on the Dennis Tafoya novel, Dope Thief has all that and more.

Created by Peter Craig (The Town), the series stars Brian Tyree Henry as Ray Driscoll, a Philly entrepreneur with a unique business plan. Alongside his simple-minded bestie Manny (Wagner Moura), Ray impersonates a DEA agent to ambush low-level drug dealers, stealing their ill-gotten gains and illegal substances for profit. The money, they'll split. The drugs will go to a bigger dealer, who's a sort of father-figure to Ray. But when one of these raids goes sideways, there's fire, death, and a wounded survivor hellbent on revenge. Can Ray and Manny survive once they've got a vicious kingpin and the actual DEA on his trail? You'll have to tune in to find out!* — K.P.

Martha Wells' beloved Murderbot Diaries series comes to the small screen, and boy, is it fun. The series stars Alexander Skarsgård as Murderbot, a security android who's gone rogue and hacked its governor module. With its newfound freedom, it could murder all the "asshole" humans around it. Instead, it chooses to binge hours and hours of TV. (Relatable icon.)

SEE ALSO: Does the 'Murderbot' cast relate to Murderbot?

Boasting a withering internal monologue and boatloads of social awkwardness, Murderbot is a cyborg unlike any you've ever seen, and that buoys Murderbot to be a fresh addition to Apple TV+'s extensive slate of sci-fi shows. Right up until its finale, the series also isn't afraid to get weird, incorporating scenes from Murderbot's favorite space-set soap opera and introducing a crew of goofy, lovable scientists for it to watch over. As I wrote in my review, "At the end of the day, Murderbot isn't just a sci-fi adventure — it's a fun hang." — B.E.

Starring: Alexander Skarsgård, Noma Dumezweni, David Dastmalchian, Sabrina Wu, Akshay Khanna, Tattiawna Jones, and Tamara Podemski

11. Foundation Alfred Enoch and Lou Llobell in "Foundation." Credit: Apple TV

It's one of Apple's most lavish productions and worth every penny. Based on Isaac Asimov's iconic sci-fi novels and now sitting at three seasons, Foundation follows a group exiled from the doomed Galactic Empire and on a mission to save it. Jared Harris is superb as mathematician and psychohistorian Hari Seldon, whose predictions of future probability lead to his exile by Brother Day (played to perfection by Lee Pace), one of a series of clones who rule the Galactic Empire as Emperor. Seldon is joined by his protégée, Gaal Dornick (Lou Llobell) from the planet Synnax. And folks, it's a truly opulent series, with stunning visuals, world-building, and action sequences over two seasons. "If you've ever wondered where all that iPhone money went, just watch Foundation," writes Adam Rosenberg for Mashable in his Season 1 review. — S.C.

Starring: Jared Harris, Lee Pace, Lou Llobell, Leah Harvey, Laura Birn, Terrence Mann, Alfred Enoch, Alexander Siddig, Troy Kotsur, and Daniel MacPherson

10. Bad Sisters Anne-Marie Duff, Saise Quinn, Sharon Horgan, Eva Birthistle, Sarah Greene, and Eve Hewson in "Bad Sisters." Credit: Apple TV

Sharon Horgan's dark dramedy about a group of sisters teaming up to kill their abusive brother-in-law is as much a howdunnit as it is a whodunnit. We start off Bad Sisters knowing that John Paul (Claes Bang), truly one of the most unpleasant TV characters of the year, is dead. But it's only through a series of flashbacks that we find out what happened to him, learning the ways he wronged each of the Garvey sisters and their various misjudged attempts to take him out of the picture. The characters are well drawn and amusing, the show is incredibly tense, and Horgan seamlessly weaves together comedy and tragedy. And if you're worried about the ending of a show that's already revealed some of its cards, don't be. Bad Sisters holds back some of its biggest shocks and secrets to the very end — and into a second season.* — S.H.

Starring: Anne-Marie Duff, Saise Quinn, Sharon Horgan, Eva Birthistle, Sarah Greene, Eve Hewson, and Claes Bang

9. Ted Lasso Jason Sudeikis and Brett Goldstein in "Ted Lasso." Credit: Apple TV

You'd better believe Ted Lasso is one of the best shows on this list. Created by Jason Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Brendan Hunt, and Joe Kelly, the comedy follows the titular American football coach (Sudeikis) who is recruited with his 2IC Coach Beard (Hunt) to coach English Premier League team AFC Richmond by the club's owner, Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham). But that's just the set-up, forming the foundation for three seasons of wholesome, hilarious, and moving fish-out-of-water comedy. The show brims with optimism, Easter eggs, and Roy Kent's perfect swearing. Ted Lasso, like football, is life. — S.C.

Starring: Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, Nick Mohammed, Juno Temple, Brendan Hunt, Jeremy Swift, Phil Dunster, Toheeb Jimoh, Cristo Fernández, Kola Bokinni, Anthony Head, Billy Harris, and James Lance

8. Little America Jearnest Corchado and Melinna Bobadilla in "Little America." Credit: Apple TV

Kumail Nanjiani, Alan Yang, and Emily V. Gordon's anthology series Little America is essential viewing. A masterclass in storytelling, each episode of the series is a self-contained tale in which we get to know immigrants in America on a personal level — a far cry from the dehumanised picture politicians like to paint. Each story is compelling, unique, and deeply moving, from Nigerian college student Iwegbuna (Conphidance) exploring identity through cowboy culture in Oklahoma to baker Beatrice (Kemiyondo Coutinho) embracing her Ugandan heritage in Kentucky. There's undocumented high schooler Marisol (Jearnest Corchado) reclaiming a sense of power through squash, and Kabir (played by Suraj Sharma, Eshan Inamdar, and Ishan Gandhi at different ages), a 12-year old boy whose hotel-owner parents are deported to India. Each story examines the complexity of identity and scrutinises the American Dream, while reminding us to actually make the effort to get to know someone. — S.C.

Starring: Suraj Sharma, Jearnest Corchado, Conphidance, Kemiyondo Coutinho, Mélanie Laurent, Angela Lin, Shaun Toub, Haaz Sleiman, and Isuri Wijesundara

7. Shrinking Jason Segel and Harrison Ford in "Shrinking." Credit: Apple TV

Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence teams up with Ted Lasso's Brett Goldstein and How I Met Your Mother's Jason Segel for a show about breaking down and breaking through. As Mashable's Shannon Connellan writes in her review, "Shrinking, one of TV's best-written comedies, cuts to the deep shit among the regular shit, without judgment and with a lot of laughs. Consider us prescribed."

Segel stars as a cognitive behavioral therapist struggling in the wake of his wife's death. Despite this grief-stricken setup, Shrinking is a defiantly joyful comedy that finds humor in coping as this harried hero breaks rules to push him and his clients out of their comfort zones to new emotional terrain. With 30-minute episodes over three seasons, it's an easy binge — and the cast is absolutely outstanding.* — K.P.

Starring: Jason Segel, Harrison Ford, Jessica Williams, Luke Tennie, Michael Urie, Christa Miller, and Lukita Maxwell

6. Slow Horses Kristin Scott Thomas in "Slow Horses." Credit: Apple TV

If you haven't had every last one of your mates telling you to watch Slow Horses, consider yourself in the minority. Based on Mick Herron's Slough House novels, the series has long provoked hands-in-the-air "you've got to watch Slow Horses" rants at many a London pub in my life, and they're not wrong. Throw yourself without delay into the realm of MI5 outcasts, spies who've fucked up but somehow have remained employed by the UK's domestic counter-intelligence agency. However, that doesn't mean there's not plenty to investigate, all under the surly, greasy, and notably farty watch of Slough House head Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman). Over five seasons, showrunner Will Smith makes the most out of his terrific cast, which includes Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, Rosalind Eleazar, Saskia Reeves, Olivia Cooke, and more, sending the MI5 misfits into many a danger across London trying valiantly to defend Britain. — S.C.

How do you explain Pluribus without giving away everything? It's tricky, so we'll just say if you're into global apocalypse hypotheticals, this is your show. Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul creator Vince Gilligan returns with a colossal sci-fi conundrum, one that particularly affects fantasy author Carol Sturka (Rhea Seehorn). Why? She appears to be the only human on Earth not affected by a virus that makes everyone extremely happy and connected. But it's not just Gilligan's thrilling narrative set-up that makes Pluribus exceptional — it's Seehorn. "The Gilligan-Seehorn partnership that kicked off in Better Call Saul continues to pay off big time with Pluribus," writes Mashable's Belen Edwards in her review. "Gilligan wrote the role of Carol specifically for Seehorn, and it's not hard to see why. She is a force."

Starring: Rhea Seehorn, Karolina Wydra, Carlos Manuel Vesga, Miriam Shor, Sharon Gee, Darinka Arones, Amarburen Sanjid, and Menik Gooneratne, Samba Schutte

4. Silo Rashida Jones and David Oyelowo in "Silo." Credit: Apple TV

If you're not watching Silo, we suggest you bunker down and watch both seasons. Created by Graham Yost and directed by Morten Tyldum, this a dystopian sci-fi thriller series is on based on Hugh Howey's trilogy of novels (Wool, Shift, and Dust). Silo delivers impeccable performances, intricate set design, and satisfying narrative twists. Mashable's Belen Edwards describes Silo in her review as "an engrossing and rewarding watch, one that devoted fans of dystopia and sci-fi will relish."

You're sent deep into the subterranean society where the last 10,000 people on Earth live, sheltered from the toxic world outside. The inhabitants, ranked in class by floor, put immense trust in their overlords: Mayor Ruth Jahns (Geraldine James), head of the IT Department (Tim Robbins), and the silo's sheriffs, including Sheriff Holston (David Oyelowo) and Deputy Sam Marnes (Will Patton). But when suspicious events occur, an engineer from the silo's lower levels (Rebecca Ferguson) races to figure out the truth. — S.C.

Starring: Rebecca Ferguson, David Oyelowo, Rashida Jones, Tim Robbins, Common, Harriet Walter, Iain Glen, Tanya Moodie, Geraldine James, Avi Nash, Chinaza Uche, Steve Zahn, Shane McRae, Remmie Milner, Alexandria Riley, Clare Perkins, Billy Postlethwaite, Ashley Zukerman, Olatunji Ayofe, and Ferdinand Kingsley

3. Pachinko Kim Min-ha and Jung Eun-chae in "Pachinko." Credit: Apple TV

Based on Min Jin Lee's best-selling novel, Pachinko spans not only decades but also generations, following a family line from an impoverished community in 1915 Korea to a prosperous Japan in 1989. The center of this moving saga is matriarch Kim Sunja, who grows from an intrepid child (Yu-na Jeon) to a pregnant, unwed teen (Kim Min-ha), to a grandmother (Academy Award–winning star of Minari, Youn Yuh-jung) too often patronized by her doting son (Soji Arai) and hotshot banker grandson Solomon (Jin Ha).

Created by Soo Hugh, this sensational two-season drama series slides back and forth across its timeline, paralleling Sunja's journey with Solomon's. Though she was raised in poverty and he in prosperity, both face challenges of racism, weighty family expectations, and impossible loves. Incredibly, though Pachinko hits on many dark elements, it's resiliently hopeful, delivering on the promise of its exhilarating opening title sequence. If you're looking for a series to grab you heart and soul, Pachinko is a safe bet for satisfaction, a series Mashable's Belen Edwards dubbed "one of the most stunningly crafted shows on TV."* — K.P.

Starring: Jeon Yu-na, Kim Min-ha, Youn Yuh-jung, Soji Arai, Jin Ha, Lee Min-ho, Kwon Eun-seong, Jung Eun-chae, and Yoshio Maki

Seth Rogen and a jaw-dropping cast of big stars give Hollywood the takedown it so richly deserves with The Studio.

The battle of art versus commerce takes center stage as Rogen plays a newly minted studio exec, who has to make an endless series of wild decisions. If you ever wonder how the blockbuster sausage gets made, the first episode of this stellar comedy series gives you a juicy and revolting taste.

The writing on this satirical series is so sharp that Rogen practically bleeds as he plays the fool across an array of comical conflicts. And he's bolstered by a supporting cast that is blisteringly funny, spitting barbs, allusions, and one-liners with a dizzying intensity.* — K.P.

It's not only the best show on Apple TV+, it's one of our favourite shows of all time. Dan Erickson's "anti-capitalist fable" Severance centres around the enigmatic Lumon Industries, a company that offers employees the option of "severing" their work self from their regular lives. Primarily directed by Ben Stiller, Severance sees impeccable performances from Adam Scott, Britt Lower, Patricia Arquette, John Turturro, Zach Cherry, Tramell Tillman, Christopher Walken, and more, with the cast tasked with playing both their "Innies" and "Outies" — and all the loaded nuance that comes with it.

Exactly what Lumon does and how the severance program began are just two of the mysteries within Severance, a show that explores fascinating questions of consent, exploitation, alienation, and humanity within a highly stylistic production. What's not in question? Over two sublime seasons, Severance doesn't miss. — S.C.

After a long wait, the DOJ has finally released thousands more Epstein files — and there's a lot of disturbing stuff in there.

In the monologue above, Jimmy Kimmel unpacks mentions of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, leading in to the latter with a reminder of Musk's post on X last year, accusing the president of being in the files.

• Apple AirTag (4-Pack) — $69.98 (List price: $99)

"What [Musk] neglected to mention is he is in there too," says Kimmel. "His name comes up more than a thousand times, including in 2012 when he and Epstein were planning a visit to the island. Elon claims he never went to Epstein island, he says his correspondence is being deliberately misinterpreted by his enemies. For example, when he wrote Jeffrey Epstein — a registered sex offender, by the way — to ask 'What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?', he was asking so he could avoid that night. He had a lot of work to do, he didn't want to be distracted by wild parties, you understand?"

Elsewhere, Kimmel responds to Trump saying there's "nothing on me" in the Epstein files.

"I'm almost surprised he's not bragging about how much he's mentioned in the Epstein files," says Kimmel, launching into a Trump impression. "I'm in there more than any other pr...more than Abraham Lincoln!"

If you love a twisty popcorn thriller, Paul Feig's adaptation of The Housemaid is a wild ride. The Lionsgate box office hit stars Sydney Sweeney (Christy) and Amanda Seyfried (The Testament of Ann Lee), who go head-to-head in a tense battle of wits. It also features Brandon Sklenar (Drop), Indiana Elle, Elizabeth Perkins, and Michele Morrone in supporting roles.

While it's still floating around in theaters, you can officially watch the over-the-top domestic thriller at home. Here's everything you need to know.

What is The Housemaid about?

Based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Freida McFadden, The Housemaid follows a young woman named Millie (Sweeney) with a criminal past who is hired as the live-in maid for Nina and Andrew Winchester (Seyfried and Sklenar), a wealthy, picture-perfect couple. Of course, their "perfect" life is far from what it seems behind closed doors. Prepare for a ton of twists and turns, in true Freida McFadden fashion.

Check out the trailer to get a taste:

Is The Housemaid worth watching?

The Housemaid took theaters by storm and became a smash hit for Lionsgate, crossing the $300 million milestone at the global box office and becoming Sweeney's highest-grossing film to date. Audiences and critics are mostly loving it; it currently holds a 92 percent audience rating and 74 percent critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Is it over the top? Yes, but in the best way. If you've read The Housemaid, or any Freida McFadden book for that matter, then you know the fast-paced, twisty, borderline ridiculous popcorn thriller-style story you're in for. If not, buckle up. It certainly won't be everyone's cup of tea — in fact, Mashable's own entertainment editor was not a fan — but I personally think it's a blast.

Something special is taking place at Levi's Stadium this weekend. No, we're not talking about Bad Bunny's halftime show. It's the small matter of New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks in the Big Game. Yes, the NFL season ends here with a dramatic showdown between these talented sides.

The Seattle Seahawks are strong favorites going into this game. They clinched the NFC's top seed with a regular season record of 14-3, before beating the 49ers and Rams in the playoffs. Sam Darnold will be looking to lead Seattle to their first title since 2014. Standing in his way is a rejuvenated Patriots led by Drake Maye. Last year's 4-13 record is long forgotten.

The Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller had a very short run as the apex robot vacuum before being overthrown by another Dreame robot vacuum: The Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete. It was part of Dreame's mammoth showcase at CES 2026, and is currently available to preorder ahead of its official release date on Feb. 10. I got to unbox my X60 early — here are my initial thoughts after the first day or so.

I think the Aqua10's dock is slightly prettier, but the X60 Max Ultra is still chic Credit: Leah Stodart / Mashable What's special about the X60 Max Ultra Complete?

Dreame turned heads when it randomly released the Aqua10 Ultra Roller in September 2025. Its 30,000 Pa of suction power was a new high for the mainstream market, beating out the flagship robot vacuums that had held the title of best robot vacuum for most of the year (namely the Roborock Saros 10 and 10R, which have 22,000 Pa of suction power). Not more than a few months later, the X60 Max Ultra Complete and its 35,000 Pa hit the stage. Unlike the Aqua10 Ultra Roller, a roller mop robot vacuum, the X60 mops with two rotating pads.

I appreciate the dual brush rolls made of two different textures. That's the most effective design for hair pickup. Credit: Leah Stodart / Mashable The X60 Max Ultra comes with regular detergent and detergent for pet odors. Credit: Leah Stodart / Mashable

FWIW, Dreame isn't the only brand with a robot vacuum that powerful. The CES-announced Roborock Saros 20 robot vacs also have 35,000 Pa, though they don't even have an official release date yet. While that's the ultimate duel in my eyes, the X60 could have a leg up simply by being the only 35,000 Pa option available to buy right now. Either way, a power jump that large is hard to conceptualize in my head.

Is the Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete good on carpet?

In its first 24 hours, the Dreame X60 Max Ultra has done a pretty outstanding job at vacuuming various carpets in my apartment.

SEE ALSO: The Shark vs. Roomba debate is old news. Here's how both robot vacuum brands got dethroned.

Since I keep up with vacuuming multiple times per day, there weren't a ton of opportunities for the X60 Max Ultra Complete to tackle universal debris that builds up in everyone's home over time (i.e., dust, random crumbs, and hair). But as a professional robot vacuum reviewer, I'm not afraid to fabricate a mess just to make a vacuum's life difficult. The initial test involved spilled sprinkles and tufts of cat hair pulled from the ChomChom strewn across a furry white rug. Its pile and uneven zebra-ish texture make it easy for debris to skim under a vacuum's radar, and it's so light that no missed debris really blends in.

Before... Credit: Leah Stodart / Mashable ...After Credit: Leah Stodart / Mashable

I was impressed by the success rate here. I had to get eye level with the floor to find any missed specks. On max power (the strongest of four settings), the X60 picked up every single ball of cat hair, even the ones that I pressed into the rug fibers. It cleared about 97 percent of the sprinkles, leaving behind a single green star and a few tiny balls. The lint roller test afterward revealed a few fuzzies and some fur that was left over, but the kind that's so thin that it's nearly invisible. The paper was still extremely sticky after rolling over the full 5 x 7 rug, which is promising.

Should its pickup rate be perfect, given its fancy suction specs and $1,699.99 price tag? I could see why you'd argue that. I tend to lean toward patience in a robot vacuum's first few days — it's still getting the lay of the land and learning where to adjust its suction power. I'll be better able to gauge its effectiveness on carpet over the next few weeks, as I put it to the test on the kitchen and living room rugs.

SEE ALSO: I ran the Dyson HushJet 24/7 for a week. It's so quiet that I forgot it was on, but I did notice fresher air.

To give credit where it's due, the X60 Max Ultra Complete feels extremely quiet for how powerful it is. Its strongest setting averaged between 67 to 69 decibels, and that was with my phone an inch away from the machine itself. (For reference, weaker vacuums I've tested range from 64 to 74 decibels). I was pleasantly surprised by how subdued (and short) the self-emptying noise is. At 71 decibels, you definitely don't have to plug your ears and brace yourself if you're anywhere near the dock. After being traumatized by several Roombas, Dreame's clear focus on noise level is appreciated.

Is the Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete good on hard floors?

January in Pennsylvania always comes with a certain amount of white salt residue being trudged inside on shoes. But in the aftermath of that massive winter storm, there's an unprecedented level of slush coming in and drying near my front door. We happened to have guests on the first day that I had the X60, so there were even more shoes adding to the puddle — the floor was literally tinted gray.

Before the X60 Max Ultra came through, my floors were caked with snow and salt residue. Credit: Leah Stodart / Mashable The mop scrubbed away most of the debris in the first pass. Credit: Leah Stodart / Mashable

The X60 Max Ultra Complete's mopping came in so clutch. It was able to scrub away a vast majority of the massive powdery puddle in the first pass, leaving the floor comfortingly shiny behind it. I've tested so many robot vacuum and mop combos that struggle more with dried water stains than they do with wet spills, but the X60 Max Ultra Complete aced it. Surely, that's the difference between mopping with room-temperature water and mopping with 104-degree Fahrenheit water, as the X60 does.

The spinning mopping pads were also pressurized enough to wipe up super fine dust that suction power alone often struggles with, even at 35,000 Pa. I made a huge mess while changing the waste drawer liner in my automatic litter box and sent the X60 to deal with it. The line between where the vacuum had and hadn't cleaned yet was as stark and satisfying as one could ask for.

Features I'm keeping an eye on: Navigation and threshold scaling

Aside from those core cleaning features, Dreame is also really touting the X60 Max Ultra Complete's small obstacle avoidance capabilities. Thanks to improved dual AI cameras, it can allegedly avoid more than 280 objects that might be on the floor, including "tiny blocks" (Lego size, I assume). I'm still waiting for a volunteer to let me try this out with some unwanted pieces, but I did put an iPhone charger, an ankle sock, and a hand towel in the X60's path two times each. The vacuum successfully swerved almost all of them, and can drive precisely enough to clean right around their edges. It started to run over the phone charger one out of two times, but eventually backed off, never sucking it up.

SEE ALSO: A tale of two robot vacuums with arms: How the Dreame Cyber 10 could beat the Roborock Saros Z70

Surprisingly, it's the X60 Max Ultra Complete's smart mapping that has had more blips in the first day. A few times, it has sent itself back to the dock after giving the classic "could not find the specified area" excuse that I rarely see outside of cheap robot vacuums. But again, I won't judge too hard this early — robot vacuums make little tweaks to the saved layout of your home as it makes more and more laps. I do find the map in the Dreame app to be incredibly intuitive. You can tap to divide rooms very easily without any arbitrary errors, and you can get super specific with the size and shape of spot cleaning zones within rooms.

Am I the only one who's not super thrilled about the "climbing" capabilities? The max height it can scale is just under 3.5 inches, which is slightly taller than what the Dreame X50 Ultra could do. But it's still not all that helpful unless your home features shallow drops or sliding door tracks between rooms, like into a sunroom. The full-length mirrors in my apartment are all sliding doors, and the X50 Ultra was able to safely cross those to sweep in my large closet. I assume the X60 Max Ultra Complete will be able to do the same.

Apple TV's The Studio cemented itself as a comedy juggernaut in 2025, earning critical acclaim and setting a new record for most Emmys for a comedy in one year with 13 wins. Naturally, a second season is on its way, and obviously, we have Sal Saperstein (Ike Barinholtz) to thank.

SEE ALSO: 'The Studio' review: Seth Rogen torches Hollywood in must-watch satire

But in all seriousness, when can audiences expect to see more of the chaos at Continental Studios? And which A-list cameos could we be seeing next? Here's everything we know about The Studio Season 2, from its cast to its release date.

What's The Studio Season 2 about?

The Studio Season 2 will continue the misadventures of Matt Remick (Seth Rogen) and the Continental Studios team. Season 1 ended with Continental's CinemaCon presentation, which teased upcoming projects like Blackwing and The Kool-Aid Movie. Could Season 2 continue to follow these productions up to their release? Will the public fall head over heels for The Kool-Aid Movie? Will it be Matt's Barbie?

At the 2026 Golden Globes, Rogen also hinted at some plot points for the coming season, telling press backstage, "We’ve literally written some things that happened leading up to this award show into episodes as we’ve been writing the show."

That means that if you've been following this awards season, get ready for some serious déjà vu come The Studio Season 2.

Who's in The Studio Season 2?

The Studio Season 2 will see the return of its main cast, including Rogen, Barinholtz, Kathryn Hahn, Chase Sui Wonders, and Bryan Cranston.

Comedy legend Catherine O'Hara, who played producer Patty Leigh, passed away on Jan. 30, just a few weeks into production on The Studio Season 2. Apple TV hasn't confirmed whether O'Hara shot anything during that time, or how Season 2 will address her passing.

"We are all heartbroken by the loss of Catherine O’Hara," Apple TV and Lionsgate said in a statement sent to press. "An undeniable legend, icon, and incomparable talent, Catherine elevated every project she was a part of, including the singular genius she brought to her role on The Studio, and every transcendent performance she gifted to us. Her artistic accomplishments will forever bring humor, light, and love for generations to come, and her brilliance and generosity of spirit touched everyone around her. We will hold her in our hearts always, and extend our thoughts and deepest sympathies to her husband Bo, and children, Matthew and Luke."

The Studio's cast and crew shared a separate statement mourning O'Hara, saying, "We are at a loss for words at the passing of our friend Catherine O’Hara. She was a hero to all of us, and we pinched ourselves every day that we got to work with her on The Studio. She was somehow classy, warm, and hilarious all at the same time. We’re unbelievably saddened she is gone and send our deepest sympathy to Bo and all her family."

What celebrity cameos can you expect in The Studio Season 2?

Part of the fun of The Studio was seeing which actors and directors signed on to play heightened versions of themselves. Who will be joining the ranks of Martin Scorsese and Zoë Kravitz this season?

So far, no cameos have been confirmed yet. However, at the Golden Globes, Rogen confirmed that people had been pitching themselves to him. "There’s a few people we roped in tonight," he told press. "This is good poaching ground for us."

Don’t miss out on our latest stories: Add Mashable as a trusted news source in Google.

You know what that means: If you review the Golden Globes guest list, you'll land on some of the upcoming cameos.

When is The Studio Season 2 coming out?

Apple TV has yet to announce a concrete release date for The Studio Season 2, but its production schedule could give us an idea of when to expect it.

The Studio Season 2 began filming in January of 2026, in the week following the Golden Globes, Rogen confirmed. By comparison, Season 1 started shooting in March of 2024 for a March 2025 release date, marking a year-long turnaround. That means we could be getting The Studio Season 2 in January of 2027.

The Studio is now streaming on Apple TV.

If waiting another three years between Severance seasons fills you with enough woe and dread to scare even Kier Eagan, trust me, I feel your pain.

SEE ALSO: 21 burning 'Severance' questions we have after the Season 2 finale

The good news is, Season 3 is already in the works, meaning it hopefully won't be long until we get to what happened after Season 2's jaw-dropping finale. Here's everything we know about Severance Season 3 so far, including when it could be released.

What is Severance Season 3 about?

Severance being Severance, plot details are heavily under wraps for the upcoming Season 3. However, we can expect the series to pick up in the wake of Season 2's cliffhanger, which saw Mark S. (Adam Scott) and Helly R. (Britt Lower) running through the hallways of Lumon together, while Outie Mark's wife Gemma (Dichen Lachman), now escaped, looked on.

SEE ALSO: 'Severance's brilliant Season 2 finale, explained

The consequences for these final moments are sure to be huge. How will Lumon react to the outright rebellion on the Severed Floor? What will Gemma do now that she's free? Will we see Irving (John Turturro) again after he left town? (Turturro has said it's not the end for Irving, so it's likely the answer to that last question, at least, is yes.)

Who is in Severance Season 3?

There have been no official casting announcements for Severance Season 3, but you can expect leads like Scott, Lower, Turturro, Zach Cherry, Tramell Tillman, and Patricia Arquette, alongside Lachman, Jen Tullock, Michael Chernus, and Christopher Walken.

Severance Season 3 will see a shake-up behind the camera, though. Ben Stiller, who's directed 11 episodes of the show, will not be returning as a director. He will still be involved as an executive producer.

When is Severance Season 3 coming out?

This is the million-dollar question, and as of now, there's no clear answer. However, the show is reportedly set to film from April to December of 2026, according to Production Weekly (via 9to5Mac).

Based on that timeline, we can make an educated guess about when Season 3 might premiere. Season 2 wrapped filming in April of 2024, for a January 2025 release date. That's a turnaround time of nine months. With that in mind, we could be getting Severance Season 3 around September of 2027, although again, nothing is confirmed.

Severance is now streaming on Apple TV.

If you, like Pluribus' hive mind, want to see Carol Sturka (Rhea Seehorn) again, you're in luck. A second season of Pluribus is in the works, as Apple TV ordered two seasons after acquiring the series in a 2022 bidding war.

So, when can we expect Vince Gilligan's critically acclaimed sci-fi series to return, and what should we expect from it? As of now, the details are murky, but we're still able to make some educated guesses. Here's everything we know about Pluribus Season 2, from its plot to its cast to its release date.

What's Pluribus Season 2 about?

Pluribus Season 2 will continue Carol's fight against the hive mind that's taken over Earth. This time, though, she won't be alone. She'll have an ally in Manousos (Carlos-Manuel Vesga), whom she met at the end of Season 1. Oh, and don't forget the atomic bomb she asked the Others for in the finale. That's sure to come in handy down the line, especially as leverage.

Season 2 will likely also address the ticking clock of the Others experimenting on Carol's stem cells in order to make her Join with them. According to Zosia (Karolina Wydra) in the Season 1 finale, Carol has about a month left, maybe two, before she won't be immune to the Joining anymore. That doesn't give Carol and Manousos a lot of time to save humanity, so hurry up, you two!

Who's in Pluribus Season 2?

There's no official cast list yet for Pluribus Season 2, but based on the ending of Season 1, it's fairly clear that Seehorn, Wydra, and Vesga will all be back. Season 2 could also see the return of other immune survivors like Mr. Diabaté (Samba Schutte) and Laxmi (Menik Gooneratne). And of course, the door's always open for more bizarro, John Cena-style celebrity cameos.

When is Pluribus Season 2 coming out?

Here's where I've got some bad news. According to Gilligan himself, it could be quite a bit of time before Pluribus Season 2 graces our screens. In a December 2025 interview with Entertainment Weekly, he said, "We're working on it. It takes us a while. I would love to go faster if I could."

Still, based on the turnaround time for Season 1, we can make a guess at when Season 2 would come out. Apple TV acquired Pluribus in 2022, but writing for the show was impacted by the 2023 WGA strike. Shooting then took place in 2024, for a late 2025 release. With that in mind, and without any strikes, we could expect Pluribus Season 2 in late 2027, but a 2028 release date seems more likely.

Pluribus Season 1 is now streaming on Apple TV.
