Five years have passed since the announcement of Apple TV+. Despite its comparatively smaller content library, Apple TV+ productions have garnered numerous awards over the years. Notably, a study conducted by Self Financial revealed that Apple TV+ boasts the highest-rated content on IMDb among streaming platforms.
The study by Self Financial delved into IMDb ratings for content across major US streaming platforms, including Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Peacock, HBO Max, Paramount+, and Apple TV+.
Interestingly, Amazon Prime Video currently leads with the largest content library, boasting 13,827 movies and shows which is more than double that of Netflix, which holds the second position – Apple TV+ trails with the smallest catalog, offering only 271 titles.
As you know, quantity isn’t equal to quality, despite its limited catalog, Apple TV+ shines with the highest average content rating of 7.01 out of 10, according to IMDb. In case you are wondering which is the number one show on Apple TV+ in terms of ratings, it is the acclaimed series Ted Lasso, which has won Emmy awards. Ted Lasso is a comedy drama TV Series starring Jason Sudeikis who plays as an American college football coach who is hired to coach a professional soccer team in England, despite having little knowledge about the sport.
In the kids’ category, the study revealed Apple TV+ as the top choice for children’s content. Netflix was able to grab it’s a win too by having the highest-rated sports and technology shows and movies, despite Apple’s endeavors to enhance its sports content offerings by signing an exclusive deal with the MLS, the US soccer league which Messi currently plays in.
