Apple TV has no shortage of genre shows, with the streamer at the cutting edge of intense, highly demanding prestige sci-fi that features complex worldbuilding. While any sci-fi buff owes it to themselves to check out Severance, For All Mankind, Silo, and Invasion, the genre is not nearly as monolithic as it may seem, and has room for slightly more fun programming. Murderbotis a clever and surprisingly hilarious sci-fi show that is both highly specific in how it satirizes humanity and uniquely designed to be a new spin on what the future might look like.

In recent years, there’s been an abundance of movies and shows that explore the dramatic rise and fall of certain companies that briefly seemed poised to have a significant impact on their respective industries. Beyond the inherent name recognition of learning how a familiar brand came to be, these stories offer a compelling lesson on just how much can be built on a faulty premise.

Since this rising crop of filmmakers tended to cite international cinema as an influence on their work, the definition of what a “Hollywood” film was transformed dramatically.
