Apple TV + has found a good niche in series to get into, adding to its catalog already well-known titles such as the award-winning Ted Lasso comedy or star-studded productions such as The Morning Show or See. Of course, there has been everything in terms of criticism, both positive and negative. However, it is the public that best determines success or failure.
This year, without counting the already released ones that have issued new seasons, we have seen 20 new series of different themes: comedies, thrillers, miniseries, dramas, children … We have carried out an inspection of all of them on IMDB, JustWatch and TV Time, the main platforms where users leave their scores and reviews. Based on this, we have made some socks to find out which is the favorite.

Scene from the tenth chapter of Foundation
We see how the series based on the novels of Isaac Asimov It has fulfilled what was promised and it is not only the public’s favorite, but it was already considered one of the platform’s great bets. It is surprising to see how Acapulco, a series without much repercussion has managed to sneak in as the second series best valued by the public. Without detracting from Calls, an atypical series that hooked many and that shares a score with the musical Schmigadoon!, released in summer without having much expectation either.
It is surprising to see that series such as Invasion, the series of aliens released by Apple only a few months ago and that seemed to be liking a lot among the public. Either Lisey’s Story It seems to have earned the reputation it seemed to carry with Stephen King and JJ Abrams as directors. The Israeli drama of Losing Alice it doesn’t seem to convince either.
