Time and again, Apple TV+ continues to prove itself as one of the best streaming services out there. While it is certainly not as large as some of the others, its quality is just as good, if not better, in some cases. As one of its most popular shows, Severance, returns for its second season after a three-year hiatus, subscribers are reminded of just how great many of the platform’s shows and films truly are.
As February quickly approaches, many viewers are looking for something to watch for Valentine’s Day. Thankfully, Apple TV+ has a few options that will undoubtedly scratch that itch for the season of love. That being said, there will be other options as well for those who prefer to steer clear of the holiday altogether. Whether audiences want to lean into romance or explore something completely different, the platform has something for them.
'Love You to Death' (Season 1)
Stream on February 5
Love You to Death is a Spanish-language romantic comedy series that follows the ever-cautious Raúl (Joan Amargós), who discovers he aptly has heart cancer. In the wake of his diagnosis, he reconnects with an old childhood friend named Marta (Verónica Echegui), a wildly free-spirited woman who just found out she’s pregnant. However, there’s no partner or boyfriend to be had.
Their friendship is reignited as they’re seemingly brought together once again by fate. As such, each begins to question their beliefs surrounding love. Marta has been afraid of commitment for far too long, and Raúl can’t seem to find the love in his life he’s always wanted. Despite their newly discovered circumstances, does the timing of their reconnection mean they’re somehow meant to be together? Only time will tell. Love You to Death is streaming on February 5.
'The Gorge'
Stream on February 14
Written by Zach Dean and directed by Scott Derrickson, The Gorge is a survival action thriller that follows two highly trained operatives, Levi (Miles Teller) and Drasa (Anya Taylor-Joy), who are each hired by different organizations to guard either side of a mysterious gorge. Described as a gate to Hell, Levi is told that their job isn’t to keep anything from getting inside but rather to keep whatever is down there from getting out. With the mission meant to last 365 days, the pair are instructed not to communicate with anyone.
However, Levi and Drasa eventually break those instructions and begin writing messages to one another, which they read via binoculars. Understandably, the pair subsequently begin to form a loving connection, which is likely to complicate their situation. As their mission progresses, it’s clear that whatever exists in the gorge below is trying to escape. As such, it’s up to Levi and Drasa to work together in order to prevent that from happening. The Gorge is streaming on February 14.

With the help of her husband, James (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), as well as her friends, she does her best to put the pieces of her life back together. Unfortunately, during her quest, she begins to question the validity of her picture-perfect life.
