Apple TV has built a distinct identity around its limited-series catalog. The divergence, represented in their best work, lies in the execution. Where one streaming service might produce projects as quick, over-scripted pieces of ephemeral second-screen entertainment, Apple TV strives for an ambitious, extended cinematic experience. Apple's miniseries have been proving grounds for a range of skilled actors, from acclaimed TV actors trying to step into larger roles, to blockbuster movie stars looking to subvert audience expectations. When they're at their best, an Apple TV miniseries delivers the most effective drama and powerful performances you'll find on the small screen.
