We hardly watch traditional TV anymore. Streaming video services like Apple TV+ (try for free), Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video are more important than ever. But local providers such as Videoland, Film1 and Ziggo also have plenty to offer. More series are added every week and it is nice if you know which series, films and documentaries really stand out. We have therefore made a selection.
New on Apple TV+: Ted Lasso (S02)
You can't have missed it: Ted Lasso is back. The front page of Apple.com is even completely absorbed by the new series, which has already won several awards, including a Golden Globe. Jason Sudeikis returns as football coach Ted Lasso. To refresh the memory, the inexperienced Ted Lasso is hired by the wealthy British manager, who hopes she can ruin her ex-husband's football club. However, Ted manages to get through everything with his positive attitude.
A new episode will be released every week from July 23.
