6 Apple TV+ shows that are so good, I wish I could enjoy them for the first time all over again
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission. There's a particular kind of magic that only comes with a first watch of a TV series — the sort of thing that makes you gasp at a twist you didn't see coming, get emotionally invested in a story and its characters, and whisks you away someplace else thanks to the visual magic of the medium. I've actually thought about this a lot while watching Apple TV+. It's no secret that Apple doesn't release as much content as most of the other streamers, but whenever Apple does get it right the result is often unforgettable. On that score, I've rounded up six Apple TV+ series below that are honestly so good, I wish I could erase them from memory just so I could experience them again for the first time. They range from heartwarming comedy to spy adventures and prestige drama that's as good as anything Hollywood has done in years. Today's Top Deals Best deals: Tech, laptops, TVs, and more sales Best Ring Video Doorbell deals Memorial Day security camera deals: Reolink's unbeatable sale has prices from $29.98 Bright, joyful, and full of heart, Acapulco has loads of How I Met Your Mother/The Wonder Years energy, thanks to narration by an older version of the show's main character — Maximo Gallardo, who as a young man in 1984 lands his dream job at the Las Colinas beach resort in Acapulco. The coming-of-age story unfolds with such a deft balance of charm and depth that by the end of each episode, you're either grinning or teary-eyed — and many times, both. The pastel-colored aesthetic and overall wholesome introduction to Mexico's culture certainly made me want to dig out my passport for that first visit to Mexico I keep planning. It somehow feels like underselling this next Apple TV+ standout by describing it as a mere TV show. Drops of God is a feast for the senses disguised as a family drama — sort of like a wine industry version of Succession. At the center of it all is a globe-spanning narrative stemming from the death of a wine expert who sets up a series of tests in order to determine who will inherit his estate: Will it be his estranged daughter, or his prized pupil? The series is tense, beautiful, and quietly devastating. And befitting its subject, the cinematography here is as intoxicating as an aged Bourdeaux. This dreamy adaptation of Min Jin Lee's award-winning novel is, without question, one of the most extraordinary things I've ever seen on television. It begins in Japanese-occupied Korea and follows Sunja, a young woman whose decisions echo across generations, as her family migrates to Japan and struggles to carve out a life amid war, discrimination, and dislocation. The title refers to the Japanese gambling game — one the family eventually turns into a livelihood — but it's also a haunting metaphor for the randomness of life, the slim odds of success, and the quiet resilience of those determined to endure. Here again, this is an Apple TV+ show that's on par with cinema. The visuals, the acting, and the storytelling in Pachinko are each breathtaking in their own right. Watching the show, dare I say, might even change you, not unlike the way traveling outside one's home country for the first time makes a profound impression on you. This next one broke the internet just a few months ago, with its jaw-dropping and supremely addictive second season. The premise behind Severance sounds simple: What if you could split your work and personal memories into two separate lives? The execution ended up being a masterclass in slow-burn tension, eerie world-building, and existential dread. Severance is actually so good, it's now the most-watched Apple TV+ series of all time, according to the streamer, and I envy anyone discovering this puzzle box for the very first time. It's rare for a spy thriller to be both razor-sharp and grimy, but Slow Horses pulls off that quirky balancing act thanks in large part to Gary Oldman's glorious mess of a lead performance. The show also pulls off a neat trick — it turns the espionage genre on its head by focusing on a team of MI5 outcasts rather than more competent secret agents with movie star good looks. The resulting story somehow makes these characters' loser status feel both hilarious and heroic. This is basically espionage with a hangover. It's messy and unpredictable. In a genre obsessed with perfection, Slow Horses makes failure look like a superpower. From its opening moments, Tehran grabs you and doesn't let go. This tightly-wound espionage thriller follows Tamar, a Mossad hacker sent undercover in Iran's capital, where one wrong move could mean the end — not just for her mission, but for her life. What makes the show stand out isn't just the cat-and-mouse plotting, but the emotional depth running beneath every decision Tamar makes. It's a story about identity, loyalty, and the psychological cost of living a lie. The upcoming third season has me especially excited — not just because Tehran raised its game significantly in Season 2, but also thanks to the arrival of Hugh Laurie, who joins the cast as a nuclear plant supervisor. When spy thrillers are done right, avoiding tired tropes and leaning into sharp writing and believable tradecraft, they're among my favorite kinds of shows to stream. And Tehran delivers so strongly, fans of The Bureau and The Americans will feel right at home here. With a lead actress who commands every scene and a constant undercurrent of tension, double-crosses, and moral ambiguity, Tehran stays a step ahead at every turn.

11 Practical Father's Day Gifts
Father's Day is nigh, so it's time for the annual late spring PSA: Dads are notoriously hard to shop for. Maybe it's the constant refrain of 'don't worry about me, I don't need anything.' Maybe you don't want to watch another present you thought long and hard about makes its way into the dusty graveyard of unused gifts. Or maybe his cupboard simply cannot fit another version of the requisite 'World's Greatest Dad' mug. Whatever the reason, it can pretty much knock the wind out of your gift-giving don't worry, all hope is not lost — there are a few things to buy for Dad that he'll actually use. And rather than spend the countdown to Father's Day agonizing over how to prove this statement true, you can just peruse our our list below, you'll find giftable versions of practical, downright necessary items, at least one of which your father won't be able to turn down. Even better: you can get all of them quickly and easily, because they all come from Target. So read on, and give yourself one less thing to worry about between now and Sunday, June 15. If his gym bag has seen better days And speaking of gym rats, if Dad does hit the gym regularly, there's a good chance his gym bag has seen better days (they can get stinky and ratty pretty quick). Upgrade him with this incredibly durable, subtly chic, and surprisingly affordable 21.5-inch duffle. It'll fit his workout and shower gear with room to spare, and he can even wear it as a backpack when his hands are $29.99 If he moves his body at all Everyone loves (and most likely needs) a massage — including the dad who doesn't normally go for that kind of thing. So if he doesn't have a Theragun, get him one. It's the simplest route to some necessary muscle relaxation. Price: $319.99 If he's a suit-and-tie guy Dads with dressier wardrobes may not need a new gym bag, but they're bound to appreciate a good garment bag or (if they already have one) two. This 5-stars-only option from Target's Open Story private label has a large main compartment, two smaller zippered pockets for smaller items, and built-in luggage strap. Price: $24.99 If he's a music man For dads who love music, this all-in-one sound system will definitely see some action. In addition to the three-speed turntable and bookshelf speakers, it also has bluetooth connectivity that'll let him stream music from any compatible device, and manual outputs that connect to existing stereo $139.99 If he likes a close shave Upgrade Dad's shaving game with this dermatologist-tested shaving kit. It comes with a safety razor, beard-lifting shaving brush, replacement blades, pre-shave oil, shaving cream, and a post-shave balm. The combination of a quality equipment and moisturizing, non-comedogenic ingredients promises to prevent razor bumps, reduce skin irritation, and, when used regularly, make skin softer and smoother overall. Price: $89.99 If he's looking far ahead Whether he's into hiking, birding, stargazing, or just spying on the neighbors, a decent pair of binoculars will definitely come in handy. This pair provides an ultra-high definition view. They're also designed to be lightweight and extremely $169.99 If his camping chair is on its last legs Camping, tailgating, sitting on the sidelines at a middle school soccer game — a plain old camping chair is fine, but this portable, full-size rocking chair with a cozy sling seat is definitely better. It's also very highly $90 (available in two colors) If he's loves a great cup of coffee If Dad downs java like it's his job, there's really no excuse for not having a Bialetti Moka stovetop espresso maker. It's simple (analog and easy-to-clean), affordable and cost-effective (no filters or pods to buy), and makes a smooth — and strong — Italian-style cup in less than 5 minutes. Price: $39.99 (originally $44.99) If he cooks… pretty much anything Even if Dad's only dish is scrambled eggs, he should be doing it in a Lodge cast iron. This best-in-class skillet is naturally non-stick; can be used on a grill, in the oven, or on a stovetop; and, if you care for it properly, will last foreverPrice: $29.90 If he's into… pretty much anything It's pricy, but even diehard Luddite dads will find it hard to deny the universal appeal of an iPad. It's also a great gift if he already has one but hasn't upgraded in a few $299.99+ (originally $349.99+; available in three sizes and four colors) If he's running low on staples 'Boring' items can sometimes make the best gifts. These totally un-fancy crew socks and 4-pack of plain white tees pictured from Target house brand Goodfellow may seem 11th-hour buys, but if Dad is a fan of these ubiquitous basics, they're actually quite thoughtful. Get the tees in sizes S–XXL and in black and the socks in black or $20 for the four-pack of tees and $10 for the six-pack of socks

Chappell Roan Did the Viral ‘Apple' Dance During Charli xcx's Primavera Sound Set: ‘Love You B–ch!'
Charli xcx had a very special guest for her Primavera Sound set in Barcelona at the Parc del Fòrum on Thursday night (June 5). On opening night of the festival, Chappell Roan shocked the crowd when she showed up to expertly do the viral 'Apple' dance during Charli's set (watch the moment below). Chappell, wearing a grey skirt and black top covered by a cut-up sweatshirt, slapped on a pair of oversized bug-eye glasses as she joyously bounced along to the song from Charli'x Brat album along with a handful of other fans from what looked like a balcony. Roan lip synched along to the lyrics 'I think the apple's rotten right to the core/ From all the things passed down/ From all the apples coming before' while doing the dance's signature hand jive. More from Billboard Wayne Gretzky Gets Introduced to 'Pink Pony Club' & Wants Chappell Roan's Hit as His Ringtone Elvis Crespo, Elena Rose, Kapo & More: Vote for the Best New Latin Music This Week The Weeknd Wanders Through Purgatory in 'Baptized in Fear' Music Video The footage was shared on the big screens flanking the stage, which made the crowd go wild. Roan appeared to be loving it and Charli also seemed elated by the A-list pop in, shouting, 'Make some f–king noise right now! Chappell I f–kin' love you b–ch!' as Roan shook her butt for the camera. Roan will get her chance on stage at Primavera when she headlines on Saturday night (June 7). The special moment came 20 songs into Charli's 31-song setlist as part of a tradition during the singer's Brat-era shows when the camera finds someone in the crowd to do the dance. Roan isn't the only fellow star to take on the challenge, either. To date, everyone from BLACKPINK's ROSE to Clairo, Foo Fighters singer Dave Grohl and daughter Harper, Stephen Colbert, Ashley Tisdale, Cara Delevingne, Kerry Washington, Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Anthony Ramos, Joe Jonas, Jessica Alba and many more have taken a swing at the choreo created by TikToker Kelley Heyer. In addition to Roan, Saturday night's Primavera Sound lineup also features Haim, Beach House, Stereolab, Sabrina Carpenter, Wet Leg and TV on the Radio, among others.
