Animation can let filmmakers tell huge stories without the massive costs of live-action movies. This has often made animated films huge hits with families, but unfortunately, many ambitious and creative cartoons have been forgotten over time. Now, after years of being overlooked, these films deserve a fresh look from audiences.

Emily Robinson’s debut feature film, Ugly Cry, premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival to strong acclaim. Robinson not only directed the movie, but also wrote and stars in it, making her achievement even more remarkable. The film is a poignant and relevant story that explores the damaging and unrealistic beauty standards perpetuated by Hollywood and society.

Despite everything, the staff at PTMC continued to experience personal turmoil this week. Langdon and Santos kept up their conflict, Ogilvie had some positive interactions, we learned more about Javadi’s family, and Dr. Mohan unexpectedly suffered a panic attack. This incident, and how Robby responded to it, was particularly significant and deserves a closer look.

This list highlights Apple TV’s original shows that have consistently delivered quality – not a single disappointing season among them. Each series maintains a strong narrative, raises the stakes, and features characters that become increasingly engaging. While some newer shows show potential, they haven’t had enough seasons yet for a full evaluation. Shows like The Studio and Pluribus, with only one season so far, need more time to prove their lasting quality. If they continue to be as good, they could easily join this list. As it stands, these seven series represent the best of Apple TV’s original programming.
