Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters (AppleTV+)
Set after the battle between Godzilla and the Titans, revealing that monsters are real, follows one family's journey to uncover its buried secrets and a legacy linking them to Monarch. It's mind blowing to see how far streaming service material has come, and shows like this put it on full display. The effects are cinematic caliber on a huge scale. The cast is strong and doesn't feel filler like most streamed shows. Most importantly the story actually builds and develops well and gives us more background on Monarch than we have ever seen which to me is captivating. Overall, first two episodes and it's giving a lot of hope for the rest of the series and franchise outside of just the movies. Also the actual CGI for the monsters is something grand and fantastic that I didn't think would have the same level of quality for a streaming show. Monarch: Legacy of Monsters featuring Kurt Russell and Anna Sawai has one or more episodes streaming with subscription on Apple TV+.
