Debates over President-elect Trump's inaugural crowd size notably generated controversy back in 2017, with the White House insisting the media underreported Trump's numbers.  

With his swearing-in now being moved indoors because of harsh winter weather, Trump is likely to avoid any questions about attendance this time around.

Fox News on Friday learned that Trump's inauguration would be moved indoors because of icy temperatures forecast for Washington, D.C. on Monday. Trump announced that he had ordered his inaugural address and other ceremonial prayers and speeches be held in the United States Capitol Rotunda to protect people from harm. 

"The weather forecast for Washington, D.C., with the windchill factor, could take temperatures into severe record lows," Trump posted on Truth Social.

TRUMP TO BE INAUGURATED INSIDE: LAST CEREMONY HELD INDOORS WAS REAGAN'S IN 1985

"There is an Arctic blast sweeping the Country. I don’t want to see people hurt, or injured, in any way. It is dangerous conditions for the tens of thousands of Law Enforcement, First Responders, Police K9s and even horses, and hundreds of thousands of supporters that will be outside for many hours on the 20th (In any event, if you decide to come, dress warmly!)," he continued. 

Trump also said the Capital One Arena will be open Monday for live viewing of his inauguration "and to host the Presidential Parade." 

"I will join the crowd at Capital One, after my Swearing in," Trump wrote.

The Inaugural Committee confirmed Trump's statements, saying the ceremony would be moved inside the U.S. Capitol to the Rotunda, a committee spokesperson said. 

With attendees no longer being able to gather outside in the cold, any photo op for Trump and a record crowd is likely out of the picture, and so is any chance for people to dispute Trump's claimed crowd size like in 2017. 

Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer lambasted the press shortly after Trump's first inauguration, accusing media outlets of inaccurate reporting on the crowd size. 

The day after the inauguration, Spicer said "photographs of the inaugural proceedings were intentionally framed in a way, in one particular tweet, to minimize the enormous support that had gathered on the National Mall."

He also said at the time that "Inaccurate numbers involving crowd size were also tweeted. No one had numbers, because the National Park Service, which controls the National Mall, does not put any out."

"These attempts to lessen the enthusiasm of the inauguration are shameful and wrong," Spicer said. 

The Washington Post reported at the time that Trump had called the acting director of the National Park Service on his first day in office to dispute the photos circulating online of his inaugural crowd size. 

President Biden also faced crowd-size barriers during his inauguration in 2021 due to coronavirus restrictions in place. His ceremony was sparsely attended and included former presidents and first ladies. Attendees wore face masks and many failed to abide by social distancing guidelines, with several seen high-fiving and hugging. 

The last inauguration ceremony to be moved indoors was President Ronald Reagan's second inauguration in January 1985. Reagan took the oath of office at the White House the day before the ceremony, while public events the following day were held inside due to temperatures hitting 7 degrees with a windchill of -40.

Los Angeles Rams rookie Jared Verse is making his feelings about Philadelphia Eagles’ fans abundantly clear.

Speaking with the Los Angeles Times ahead of Sunday's NFC Divisional Round matchup, Verse spoke bluntly about his feelings towards the Philadelphia fan base.

"I hate Eagles fans," Verse, who attended three years of high school in Pennsylvania, told the outlet.

"They’re so annoying. I hate Eagles fans," he continued. 

Even seeing the Eagles team colors will draw a reaction out of the Rams star rookie. 

"When I see that green and white, I hate it. I actually get upset. Like, I actually get genuinely hot."

The Rams are hoping Verse will channel his anger towards the Eagles fans when he is on the field, as the team is traveling to Philadelphia to try and upset the Eagles.

The two teams faced off in Week 12 in Los Angeles, where the Eagles, and running back Saquon Barkley, dominated.

PACKERS FAN HARASSED BY MAN AT EAGLES PLAYOFF GAME ACCUSED OF WANTING TO GO VIRAL: ‘HE KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN’

The Eagles won that matchup 37-20, and Barkley ran wild, amassing 302 scrimmage yards, including 255 rushing yards with two touchdowns.

Verse said even though the game was in Los Angeles, he heard heckling Eagles fans, despite wearing headphones. 

"I didn’t even do nothing to ‘em. It was my first time playing. Oh, I hate Eagles fans," Verse said. 

Eagles’ fans might reciprocate their hate for Verse if he plays as well as he did in the Rams 27-9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Monday.

Verse recovered a fumble from Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold and took it to the house for a 57-yard touchdown. 

Verse’s play in the regular season has him on the shorttlist to potentially win defensive rookie of the year, as Verse had 4.5 sacks with 66 total tackles and was named to the Pro Bowl. 

The Rams are playing the Eagles at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday, where the rookie is sure to hear the noise from Eagles fans.

Former NFL quarterback and current ESPN football analyst Dan Orlovsky offered his thoughts about whether Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce could retire sooner rather than later.

Kelce, 35, recently wrapped up his 12th season in the league. He finished the regular season with 823 receiving yards, which marked the second consecutive year the star tight end did not reach the 1,000-yard receiving mark. 

While Kelce did receive Pro Bowl honors for a tenth straight year and remains a productive player, he is certainly closer to the end of his football career than he is to the beginning. All of this comes as the Chiefs pursue an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl championship. Should the Chiefs ultimately hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy next month, Orlovsky believes that calling it quits could become "a very real thing" for the seven-time All-Pro.

"Kelce is fully capable of being the difference-maker. I think he’s got one great run left," Orlovsky said on ESPN's long-running daytime program "First Take."

TRAVIS KELCE SHARES TAYLOR SWIFT'S THOUGHTS ON CHIEFS STAR'S POSSIBLE RETIREMENT

"I think if he goes and has that vintage Kelce performance, which I fully, one, think he’s capable of, and two, will do, and they go on and three-peat, I think retirement becomes a very real thing for Travis Kelce.

"There would be nothing else to accomplish. He’d be arguably the greatest tight end of all time. He would be the tight end that was part of [Chiefs] only three-peat in the history of the NFL. He’s obviously later in his career. I don’t think there would be anything left. And I think he’s got one, elite, great, difference-maker, vintage, ‘Oh my Gosh, he did it again’ run left in him."

Kelce has contended with questions about when he will decide to bring his NFL career to a close. During a recent appearance on "The Stephen A. Smith Show," he admitted that his thoughts on retirement tend to fluctuate, but he plans to "re-evaluate" things once he heads into the offseason.

"I love everything that I’m doing … but at the end of the day, I’m not having that extreme success on the field," Kelce said. "I’m excited for these next couple of games … to finish this season off. I’ll re-evaluate it like I always do, [and] I’ll probably tell myself how much I love this thing, and I’ll come back next year."

The NFL veteran added that pop star Taylor Swift continues to offer her full support as it relates to his playing career. "She’s fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game," Kelce told Smith.

"I got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams," the three-time Super Bowl winner said, before noting that the "Anti-Hero" singer "loves coming" to games to watch him and the Chiefs play.

FIRST ON FOX: At the second Senate Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) caucus meeting, Chairwoman Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, led discussions on how they can most effectively and quickly begin cutting waste across the government. 

The new 18-member caucus convened on Thursday morning and strategized on how to avoid some of the pitfalls other similar efforts have run into. 

"The Senate DOGE Caucus is hitting the ground running on day one of the Trump administration to downsize government," Ernst told Fox News Digital in a statement. "Biden’s bloat has created a target-rich environment for finding ways to eliminate waste and make the bureaucracy accountable to the people. Now is the time for results, and after today, I feel confident that we have plans in place to serve as the action arm in Congress to deliver for taxpayers."

OHIO GOV DEWINE PICKS LT GOV TO FILL VICE PRESIDENT-ELECT JD VANCE'S VACANT SEAT

For years, Ernst has been taking inventory of government waste, which has given the caucus a list of places to begin eliminating excess bureaucracy and making the government run more efficiently. 

Some specific targets for the caucus are federal telework, IRS agents with unpaid taxes and U.S. funding going to foreign laboratories with little accountability. 

Caucus members mapped out how they can address these items in a way that ensures they can get "multiple bites at the apple," per Ernst's office. 

DESANTIS ANNOUNCES CHOICE FOR SENATE APPOINTMENT AFTER RUBIO'S EXPECTED RESIGNATION

To do this, the Republican members plan on taking advantage of tools such as the Congressional Review Act (CRA), which can be used to overturn rules put in place by federal agencies, and budget reconciliation. 

The budget reconciliation process is already expected as a key vehicle for Republican tax and immigration policy objectives, and the party has further signaled it could pass two reconciliation bills this year. One senator even suggested they could do three such bills during the 119th Congress. 

The benefit of passing legislation through budget reconciliation is that it requires a simple majority and is not subject to the 60-vote threshold of the legislative filibuster. The CRA is similarly not beholden to the filibuster. 

CONFIRMATION DELAYS STACK UP FOR TRUMP NOMINEES AS PAPERWORK LAGS IN FEDERAL OFFICES

The caucus is also planning to work with President-elect Trump on executive orders aimed at government waste. 

The 18 members of the caucus serve on a number of different Senate committees, giving them a well-rounded idea of where the most waste exists. 

DEM SENATOR WHO BASHED HEGSETH'S QUALIFICATIONS STANDS BY DOD SEC WHO OVERSAW BOTCHED AFGHAN WITHDRAWAL

Last year, Ernst took the opportunity to lay out a plan that cuts $2 trillion of what she says is waste. In it, she recommends selling empty government buildings, auditing the IRS and firing agents that owe taxes, and slashing seemingly random or "silly" studies conducted by the government, among other things. 

DOGE was previously announced by Trump, who tapped billionaire Elon Musk and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the new advisory board looking to cut government waste. 

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, the just-launched port of the 2010 Wii game, doesn’t include individual members of the original Retro Studios development team in the credits, as reported by GameSpot. Since the discovery, however, Nintendo has commented on the omission, giving a statement to Eurogamer.

“We believe in giving proper credit for anyone involved in making or contributing to a game’s creation, and value the contributions that all staff make during the development process,” the statement reads, which is sourced only to Nintendo and not to a specific individual. The game’s credits reveal that the port was done by Forever Entertainment.

Crediting is an industry-wide issue, and this isn’t the first time Nintendo has come under scrutiny for its crediting decisions. Some developers who worked on the original Metroid Prime — another Retro Studios game — were unhappy that Metroid Prime Remastered’s credits didn’t include the full original credits. And external translators have expressed frustrations with being left out of credits for some major Nintendo games, Game Developer reported last year.

As of late, Nintendo has also been somewhat cagey about things like voice actors and the specific studios developing its games.

A new rule requiring all vehicles to have automatic emergency braking is “flawed” and should be repealed, a new lawsuit filed by the auto industry’s main lobbying group says.

The suit was filed in US Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit by the Alliance of Automotive Innovation, which represents most of the major automakers, including Ford, General Motors, Stellantis, Hyundai, Volkswagen, and Toyota. The group is asking the court to overturn the new rule, which was finalized last year, requiring all vehicles to have automatic emergency braking (AEB) by 2029.

Under the rule, all vehicles will be required to be able to “stop and avoid contact” with other vehicles at speeds of up to 62mph. In addition, AEB systems must apply the brakes automatically “up to 90 mph when a collision with a lead vehicle is imminent, and up to 45 mph when a pedestrian is detected.” Vehicles must also be able to detect pedestrians in both daylight and darkness. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says the new rule will help prevent hundreds of deaths and tens of thousands of injuries every year.

But after the rule was finalized, the alliance petitioned NHTSA to “reconsider” it, arguing that current technology was insufficient to meet the high standards outlined by the regulation. The group also claimed that its suggestions were rejected during the rulemaking process, and urged NHTSA to reconsider several key provisions in order to make it more achievable by the target date.

But NHTSA denied the group’s petition, stating that the requirements were “practicable” and that the overall aim is to “force” the industry to adopt new technology in order to meet the goals of saving lives and preventing injuries.

“NHTSA acknowledged that the final rule is technology-forcing,” the agency said in its response, “but emphasized that the standard is practicable and no single current vehicle must meet every requirement for an FMVSS to be considered practicable under the Safety Act.”

The auto alliance says that it has spent “more than a billion dollars” developing AEB over the years, but doesn’t want this lawsuit to be seen as undermining its own technology. And it says it much prefers the “voluntary agreement” that preceded the mandate.

“This litigation by Alliance for Automotive Innovation should not be interpreted as opposition to AEB, a lack of confidence in the technology, or an objection to AEB’s widest possible deployment across the U.S. vehicle fleet,” the group says in a press release. “Rather, this litigation is about ensuring a rule that maximizes driver and pedestrian safety and is technologically feasible.”

But consumer and safety advocates aren’t buying it.

“The AEB Rule is the most impactful regulation for roadway safety issued in years,” said Cathy Chase, president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, in a statement. “Considering that automaking is America’s largest manufacturing sector, employs 10 million Americans, generates five percent of the U.S. GDP and drives $1 trillion into the economy annually, it is remarkable that it would be unable to meet the requirements in the AEB Rule by September 2029.”

And William Wallace, Consumer Report’s director of safety advocacy, said, “It is profoundly disappointing that automakers are suing to block this lifesaving automatic emergency braking rule. Car companies have brought impressive safety technology to our roads, but AEB performance among new vehicle models is uneven. This rule is needed because everyone on our roads should be able to benefit from automatic emergency braking systems that meet reasonable minimum standards.”

• Apple TV+ debuted its first original series on November 1, 2019.
• Since then, the streamer has consistently put out great TV.
• As season two of "Severance" drops, these are the best shows on Apple TV+.

It was only a matter of time before Apple got into the content game, but when the first few Apple TV+ series premiered back in 2019, it wasn't clear that it would be successful.

Unlike other streaming services, Apple TV+ doesn't have a huge backlog or beloved properties to fall back on, like Max with Warner Bros. and HBO, Peacock with NBC and Universal, Hulu with Disney and ABC, or even deals with legacy studios like Prime and Netflix do.

Instead, Apple has had to rely on producing original content, and sometimes overspending to get it done. However, the quality of the content speaks for itself.

We've chosen the 24 best shows on the streaming service that prove it might be time to ditch another app in favor of Apple TV+.

"Severance"

"Severance" is probably Apple TV+'s most popular show — its highly anticipated second season premieres January 17, almost three years after the first season ended in April 2022.

The sci-fi thriller takes place in a world where employees of the Lumon corporation can choose to undergo the "severance" procedure, which completely separates their consciousness between their work selves and their home selves (or "innies" and "outies" in the show's parlance).

The cast is packed from top to bottom with amazing actors, but we can't say enough about Adam Scott's dual performance as Mark Scout/Mark S. It's clear that while the two share an underlying goodness, they each have distinct personalities and mannerisms.

Fans of shows like "Lost," "Mr. Robot," and "Westworld" should tune in immediately.

"Slow Horses"

"Slow Horses" is a British spy thriller based on the Mick Herron books series called "Slough House."

A far cry from the slick halls of James Bond's MI6, "Slow Horses" follows a team of reject MI5 agents who, rather than get fired or quit, are sent to Slough House, a junky outpost run by the slovenly Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman), a former Cold War super-spy who has become jaded with the entire service.

Of course, even though these are supposed to be the most incompetent agents in the intelligence community, things just keep happening to the Slow Horses that keep them in the action.

There are four seasons with six episodes each, with at least two more on the way, so it's a perfect weekend binge.

"Bad Sisters"

"Bad Sisters" is a black comedy starring Sharon Horgan, Anne-Marie Duff, Eva Birthistle, Sarah Greene, and Eve Hewson as five sisters living in Dublin. One of them, Grace (Duff), is married to a controlling, abusive man named John Paul (Claes Bang).

Each of the Garvey sisters has their own problem with John Paul, so when he dies mysteriously, each becomes a suspect in a case involving John Paul's life insurance.

The first season told a relatively complete story, so it was surprising when the show returned for season two. While it didn't live up to the highs of season one, it's enough to be in the company of the Garvey sisters for another eight hours.

Plus, you can always pretend it's a perfect limited series if you really don't want to watch season two.

"Hijack"

"Hijack" seemed to come out of nowhere, but what a pleasant surprise it was. The show stars Idris Elba as Sam, a corporate negotiator who happens to be on a flight from Dubai to London that gets hijacked midair.

The series is a tense thriller set in real time. It is seven episodes long, and the flight is seven hours.

It was renewed for season two last summer, and we can't wait to see what Sam does next.

"Shrinking"

"Shrinking" is a comedy starring Jason Segel as Jimmy, a therapist grieving the loss of his wife after a drunk-driving accident. Sick of listening to people complain to him about their problems without doing anything about it, Jimmy begins to cross ethical lines and tell people what he thinks they should be doing.

It's a comedy, we promise.

The cast is rounded out by Jimmy's coworkers Gaby (Jessica Williams) and Paul (a locked-in Harrison Ford), his best friend Brian (Michael Urie), and his daughter Alice (Lukita Maxwell).

If you're a fan of the heartwarming, gentle comedy of "Ted Lasso" (more on that later), the two seasons of "Shrinking" will go down easy, and we're sure the upcoming third season will too.

"Black Bird"

The first true-crime series on this list, "Black Bird" is the real story of Jimmy Keene (Taron Egerton), a low-level criminal who agreed to a two-year plea deal with a chance of parole that turned out to be a 10-year deal with no chance of parole.

But his fortunes begin to change when the FBI approaches him with a proposition: befriend fellow inmate and suspected serial killer Larry Hall (Paul Walter Hauser) and get him to confess to as many murders as possible, and get out of prison immediately with an expunged record.

"Black Bird" also stars Ray Liotta in one of his final performances as Jimmy's father, Big Jim.

Anyone who was a fan of Netflix's "Mindhunter" should tap into "Black Bird" as soon as possible.

"Presumed Innocent"

This is the second adaptation of Scott Turow's novel of the same name, after the 1990 film starring Harrison Ford and Brian Dennehy.

In the show, Jake Gyllenhaal plays Rusty Sabich, a Chicago prosecutor who is accused of murder himself after a coworker he was having an affair with, Carolyn (Renate Reinsve), turns up dead.

This show is, in a word, chaotic. But it is extremely watchable, and we don't get enough legal thrillers in movies or on TV anymore, so it's great to see one as successful as this. Season two was confirmed in July 2024.

"For All Mankind"

"For All Mankind" is an alternate history show that asks what would have happened if the Soviet Union had beaten the US to the Moon in 1969. You might not think that would change a lot, but the four seasons of "For All Mankind" suggest it would've changed NASA and the space program in all sorts of ways.

Each season of the show takes place in a different decade, allowing us to check in with our characters in the '70s, '80s, '90s, and 2000s. A fifth season in the 2010s has already been confirmed.

In addition to being thrilling sci-fi, it's also a compelling look at the personal relationships between the astronauts and their families. There's something for everyone.

"The Morning Show"

You might be asking, "Is 'The Morning Show' actually good?" And our response to that would be: Must a show be good?

Is it not enough to cast some of the best TV actors of all time (Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, Jon Hamm, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Steve Carell, Greta Lee, Karen Pittman, Billy Crudup, Julianna Margulies, Nicole Beharie, Holland Taylor, Tig Notaro … the list goes on) to spout some nonsense about how important TV ratings and morning shows are to American culture?

Ultimately, "The Morning Show" is extremely watchable. Season four is set to drop this year.

"The Buccaneers"

"The Buccaneers" is one of Apple TV+'s few teen-focused shows, but it's a great one. Based on Edith Wharton's unfinished novel of the same name, "The Buccaneers" is a more progressive take on what it was like to be a young woman in society during the Gilded Age.

Our titular buccaneers are a group of American friends who travel to England during debutante season to secure advantageous matches. But someone in the writer's room was clearly watching "Bridgerton," because there's racial diversity, a compelling queer storyline, love triangles, and tons of modern music.

"The Buccaneers" ended on a tantalizing cliffhanger, so thankfully, it was renewed for a second season in December 2023.

"Bad Monkey"

Vince Vaughn stars in another crime series after "True Detective"; this time it's a more comedic one based on the Carl Hiaasen novel "Bad Monkey."

All of Hiaasen's novels are characterized by the easy-breezy Florida mentality of its lead characters, and "Bad Monkey" is no different. In the series, Vaughn plays Andrew Yancy, a motor-mouthed cop turned restaurant inspector.

When Yancy is tasked with some busy work by a former colleague (transporting a severed arm to the morgue), he gets dragged into a conspiracy spanning Florida, Key West, and the Bahamas.

It was renewed for season two in December 2024.

"Pachinko"

"Pachinko" is a generational epic based on Min Jin Lee's 2017 novel of the same name. It follows a Korean family living in Japan across four generations and 74 years. Part of the show's central tension is the treatment of Korean immigrants in Japan throughout the 20th century, and it is sure to both warm and break your heart.

Fans of Anna Sawai from "Shogun" should check out the two seasons of "Pachinko," as she's equally wonderful in both shows.

"Five Days at Memorial"

The second true-crime limited series on this list, "Five Days at Memorial," is based on the five days immediately following Hurricane Katrina at Memorial Medical Center, a hospital in New Orleans. It's based on the 2013 book of the same name.

If you don't know the true story already, we recommend going blind. Vera Farmiga gives a truly harrowing performance as Dr. Anna Pou, an overworked surgeon who makes stomach-churning decisions about how to help her patients best as they await rescue.

"Platonic"

For some lighter fare, we turn to "Platonic," a sweet, decidedly not rom-com about two best friends who reconnect after one gets divorced.

Why'd they stop being friends? Because Sylvia (Rose Byrne) accidentally told her best friend Will (Seth Rogen) that she hated his his now-ex Audrey (Alisha Wainwright).

The stakes are low in "Platonic," but the chemistry between Rogen and Byrne, first established in the "Neighbors" films, remains as charming as ever.

Season two was announced in December 2023, so it's expected to be released this year.

"Manhunt"

"Manhunt" went somewhat under the radar upon its release last March, but we don't know why. It's a genuinely riveting portrayal of the 12-day manhunt for Abraham Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth (Anthony Boyle), led by Lincoln's secretary of war, Edwin Stanton (Tobias Menzies) — and the conspiracy led by some in the South to protect Booth.

In the series, Lincoln is played by an unrecognizable Hamish Linklater (who is never anything less than stellar).

The series is just seven episodes long, so it's another great weekend show to binge.

"Dickinson"

"Dickinson" is one of the most inventive shows on this list, starring Hailee Steinfeld as the 19th-century poet Emily Dickinson. The show follows her as a young woman living in Amherst with her sister Vinnie (Anna Baryshnikov), her brother Austin (Adrian Blake Enscoe), and her parents Edward (Toby Huss) and Emily (Jane Krakowski).

Complicating matters is that Austin's fiancée Sue (Ella Hunt) is Emily's secret lover.

While fans of Dickinson's might know that she didn't have the happiest adult life, the show manages to inject hilarity, biting social commentary, and a decent amount of magical realism into the show — for example, Emily is friends with a personification of Death played by Wiz Khalifa.

It ran for three seasons from 2019 to 2021 and is one of few shows today that actually has a satisfying conclusion.

"Mythic Quest"

"Mythic Quest" is a workplace sitcom about a team of employees working at a video game studio that created a hugely popular MMORPG game of the same name.

The cast is an all-star lineup of comedians, including "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's" Rob McElhenney as Ian, the creative director and creator of "Mythic Quest"; Danny Pudi as Brad, the head of monetization; David Hornsby as David, the executive producer; Jessie Ennis as Jo, David's assistant; and Charlotte Nicdao as Poppy, the lead engineer.

If you're not sure about the show at first, give it until the fifth episode, "A Dark Quiet Death," which completely upends its structure and introduces two entirely new characters, played by Cristin Milioti and Jake Johnson.

Season four will premiere on January 29, giving you enough time to catch up.

"Servant"

If you happened to catch "The First Omen," one of 2024's best horror films, you're probably wondering where else you can watch Nell Tiger Free be delightfully creepy.

Look no further than "Servant," a psychological horror show produced by one of the kings of horror, M. Night Shyamalan.

"Servant" is the story of a married couple, Dorothy (Lauren Ambrose) and Sean (Toby Kebbell), who are dealing with the tragic death of their 13-week-old son Jericho in an unorthodox way — they've purchased a realistic baby doll, and Dorothy is treating it like it's her actual, living son.

So much so that Dorothy and Sean (who knows that the doll isn't real) have hired a nanny to care for Jericho. Enter: Free as Leanne, the creepiest nanny to grace the small screen in quite a long time.

"Servant" is up and down, as Shyamalan projects can be, but the four seasons keep the tension up the entire time. All horror fans should at least try it out.

"Ted Lasso"

We couldn't round up Apple TV+'s best shows without including "Ted Lasso," arguably the show that put the streamer on the map and was nominated for a record-breaking 20 Emmys for its first season.

The show, born from a character created for an NBC Sports ad, starred Jason Sudeikis as Ted Lasso, a college football coach from Kansas hired to coach a Premier League soccer team in England. For reasons revealed later in the show, Ted is very game to uproot his entire life.

But the reason for his hiring isn't altruistic — the team's new owner, Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham), got ownership of the team in a bitter divorce and now wants to take the team down to piss off her ex-husband.

Much has been said and written about the quality of "Ted Lasso's" three seasons, but we maintain that the first season is as perfect as TV gets.

It's a beautiful story about meeting new people, what it means to be a leader, opening yourself up to love, and radical kindness and optimism. We needed it upon its premiere in 2020, and we're certain we'll need it again in 2025.

"Silo"

"Silo" is a dystopian thriller based on a series of novels by Graham Yost. It takes place on an Earth ravaged by warfare that has left the surface poisonous. Humanity has moved underground into a giant solo that's 144 levels deep.

Rebecca Ferguson plays Juliette, an engineer who works deep inside the Silo. She becomes curious about why everyone is forbidden from learning about the outside world and the death of her lover George (Ferdinand Kingsley) and begins to investigate what's actually going on in the Silo.

"Silo's" second season concludes on January 17 — but fear not, it's already been renewed for a third and fourth season to conclude the story.

"Schmigadoon!"

We're still bitter about the cancellation of "Schmigadoon!," a love letter to classical musicals.

The show follows Josh and Melissa, a couple played by Keegan-Michael Key and Cecily Strong, who happen upon the magical town of Schmigadoon while on a hike.

In the town, all the residents act like they are living inside a 1940s musical and break out into songs — of course, since the cast is made up of musical theater icons like Kristen Chenoweth, Alan Cumming, Ariana DeBose, Jane Krakowski, Aaron Tveit, Tituss Burgess, Patrick Page, and more, it's an absolute hoot.

Season two, subtitled "Schimago," spoofs the darker musicals of the '60s and '70s. Since it was canceled after that, we'll never know what was set for season three, but it's made clear from the finale that it probably would've been poking fun at the mega-musicals of the '80s and '90s like "Cats" and "Phantom of the Opera."

However, "Schmigadoon" isn't gone for good. A stage adaptation is set to premiere in Washington, DC, this month, and hopefully, it will be transferred to Broadway.

"Loot"

All you need to know about "Loot" is that it stars Maya Rudolph as Molly, the wife of a billionaire who gets cheated on and is suddenly left with a lot of money, a lot of time, and zero purpose.

To fill her time, she decides to become involved in a foundation bearing her name instead of just being a figurehead. Hilarity ensues.

It was renewed for a third season in July 2024, meaning we'll have more of Molly's antics soon.

"The Afterparty"

"The Afterparty," while being a TV show, was a true love letter to movie fans everywhere, as each episode took turns poking fun at a different genre with razor-sharp accuracy.

The first season of the show focused on the murder of pop star Xavier (Dave Franco) at the after-party of his high school reunion. As Detective Danner (Tiffany Haddish) asks each person to take her through the night, each person gets to tell their story in their preferred way.

For example, an episode from Xavier's former bandmate Yasper's perspective is an upbeat musical, while another classmate's night seemed straight out of "The Fast and the Furious."

Season two has a similar format, except it's about a wedding after-party, during which the groom was murdered.

It was canceled after two seasons, but at least we'll always have "Yeah Sure Whatever."

"Sugar"

We don't want to spoil the midseason twist of "Sugar," a seemingly straightforward LA detective story starring Colin Farrell as John Sugar, a private investigator.

But rest assured: This show is bonkers. It is worth watching the eight episodes — and Apple agreed, as season two was greenlit in October 2024.
