Disney+, Amazon Prime Video and Netflix are the big players in the streaming sector. Apart from that, there are also other services that hide many gems and fantastic films and series. You can test one of them for free on the first weekend in January.
Which streaming service is it? Apple TV+ has been on the market for a while, but alongside Netflix, Prime and Disney, the streaming service is still under the radar. A subscription normally costs €9.99 per month, but on January 4th, 2025 and January 5th, 2025 you can use the service for free without any restrictions.
Apple TV+ doesn’t have the gigantic catalog of its competitors, but some films and series are worth it. We’ll introduce you to a few films and series that are worthwhile and that you can watch on a weekend.
The Silo series is also a great recommendation:

Which films are worth watching? Apple TV+ has now co-financed some films that have also been shown in theaters. The most famous films are probably Killers of the Flower Moon or Napoleon. Napoleon is a biopic of the historical figure, directed by Ridley Scott. Killers of the Flower Moon is a crime film by Martin Scorsese that has a large cast including Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro.
Tetris could also be interesting for gaming fans. The film tells the story of the classic video game, which was programmed by a Soviet developer, in an exaggerated way.
If you like something a little funnier, you should put To The Moon on your list. The romantic comedy tells the story of a marketing expert and a director who is responsible for Apollo 11’s first moon landing. Channing Tatum and Scarlett Johansson are also there.
Which series are worth watching? Things get even more interesting with the series on Apple TV+. Crime and thriller fans can watch For Lack of Evidence. A prosecutor, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, is accused of a brutal murder. This ensures that many dark secrets are revealed.
The award-winning series Severance is a mix of science fiction and thriller. A procedure separates memories of leisure and work to ensure a better balance. But there is a dark secret hidden.
If you like it a lot more humorous, you will find two series by Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence on the platform. In Ted Lasso, a US coach takes over a British soccer team. The problem is, he has no plan for football. The series has everything Scrubs had: great, charming characters and a heartwarming story with memorable moments.
Shrinking is about the everyday lives of two therapists. Jimmy, played by Jason Segel, has to deal with the death of his wife and comes up with a new strategy: brutal honesty. Also there is Paul, played by Harrison Ford, who after many rather grim roles can show his funny side.
