Apple TV+ has been in the headlines in recent days for word that it’s apparently going to start cracking down on the that it gives to projects — a phenomenon that’s led some in Hollywood to informally regard Apple, compared to the other major streamers, as the biggest spender in town. So, whatever; its show and movie budgets are apparently going to change. Maybe it means fewer projects move forward than otherwise would.
One thing that probably won’t change is Apple’s commitment to quality when it comes to Apple TV+, whether we’re talking award-winning shows like , buzzy new dramas like , or Apple’s dreamy, one-of-a-kind series . Along those same lines, the streamer’s library is about to get a little larger in August with two new shows that deserve a spot on your watchlist, one being a drug cartel docuseries and the other a comedy from creator Bill Lawrence. First up, , we have a docuseries in which a rookie FBI agent takes on the leadership of the brutal Mexican drug cartel, Los Zetas.
In the annals of Mexican cartels, Los Zetas rank as one of the worst and most terrifying (Prime Video’s , from the same journalist behind Gomorrah, is partly a story about the cartel). Formed by ex-members of the Mexican Special Forces, Los Zetas are one of the most feared criminal gangs in Mexico and have tentacles in everything from kidnapping to extortion, drug trafficking, and much more.
