MY CURRENT FAVOURITES IN MEDIA ON APPLE TV

There’s something so indulgent about a proper binge session. Not the chaotic, scrolling kind — I’m talking about lighting a candle, getting under a blanket, putting your phone on silent, and diving fully into a world. Lately, my guilty pleasure has been going all in on Apple TV — shows, music, podcasts — the full immersive experience.

It usually starts with a series. Apple has mastered the art of addictive storytelling. One minute you’re casually watching an episode of The Morning Show and the next thing you know, you’re emotionally invested in newsroom politics and complicated friendships. Or you tell yourself you’ll watch just one episode of Ted Lasso and suddenly you’re crying over kindness and British football culture at 2 a.m. And if you want something sleek and suspenseful, Severance pulls you into a world that’s equal parts stylish and unsettling.

But the binge doesn’t stop when the credits roll.

There’s something about transitioning straight into music that keeps the mood alive. I love putting on a curated playlist on Apple Music that matches whatever I just watched — moody and atmospheric, upbeat and playful, or soft and introspective. Music becomes the emotional afterglow of the show. It stretches the feeling out a little longer.

And then come the podcasts. When I’m not ready to fully re-enter reality, I’ll queue up something on Apple Podcasts and let the conversation play in the background while I make tea or wind down for the night. Whether it’s pop culture breakdowns, business insights, or deep-dive storytelling, it feels like staying in the Apple universe without staring at a screen.

What I love most about binging across shows, music, and podcasts is how layered it feels. It’s not just passive consumption — it’s curating an atmosphere. One show sets the tone, a playlist amplifies the emotion, and a podcast extends the conversation.

In a world that constantly demands attention and productivity, there’s something luxurious about intentionally unplugging and letting yourself be entertained. No multitasking. No doom scrolling. Just story, sound, and space to feel.

Honestly? Sometimes the best plans are no plans at all — just you, your couch, and one more episode.
