The comedy series Shrinking continues its streak of being among the most popular shows on any streaming service. It made the top list for all of February, and continues to hold on to its audience.

And the recently released neo-noir thriller Sharper is also proving to be popular.

Both are available now to Apple TV+ subscribers.

Shrinking is a massive hit for Apple TV+

While Apple TV+ is smaller competitor than rivals like Netflix and Disney+, it has been able to stand out with series and films that draw in large numbers of viewers.

A good example of this is Shrinking starring Jason Segel and Harrison Ford. It’s been on JustWatch‘s list of top streaming offerings every week ever since the comedy debuted in January. That includes appearing at #4 on the list of most popular shows for all of February.

It’s also been on ReelGood’s list of Top 10 Movies & TV almost every week, including the most recent one.

Shrinking is a hilarious ongoing series about a struggling therapist who throws out the psychological rulebook and tells his clients what he really thinks they should do.

It’s more than popular — the show earned positive comments from critics, with review-aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes giving it an 81% approval score.

Sharper spins a web of secrets and lies

Apple TV+ has more than one new hit. Sharper is also finding a large audience. It has made ReelGood’s list of Top 10 Movies & TV for two weeks now, ever since the film premiered on Apple’s streaming service in February.

It stars Julianne Moore, John Lithgow and Sebastian Stan in a thriller of secrets and lies about con artists conning each other.

The Cult of Mac review says, “Its sleek, Instagram-inspired look, as well as its ’80s-style score, make the ill-gotten gains shine all the brighter.”
