Why You Should Add Apple TV+'s The Changeling to Your Watch-List
If you're a horror aficionado who is on the hunt for a new show, look no further than the upcoming TV series The Changeling.
The Changeling promises to be quite an experience. The series, based on Victor LaValle's 2017 novel, is a speculative horror that's more than just a passive watch.
LaValle's book is a contemporary fairy tale about the struggles and fears of being a parent. It mixes in a bit of horror, fantasy, and the real world to create something pretty special. Sounds like great material for an adaptation.
The series has garnered mostly positive attention from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, it boasted a decent score of 76%. Early reviews describe The Changeling as a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows, always changing and keeping you guessing.
LaKeith Stanfield, who plays the lead character, is another reason you should give it a try. Reddit users are buzzing about his involvement, with comments like "LaKeith in it so it’s definitely a must watch" and "LaKeith is one of those actors who is so good that just him being in something is enough to get me interested."
Stanfield plays Apollo, an antique bookseller in New York, whose life takes a dramatic turn after meeting a librarian named Emma. Their story, intertwined with elements of fantasy, horror, and real-world issues, is at the heart of the series.
According to HuffPost, the show masterfully intertwines elements of fantasy with emotionally charged real-world events. As you watch, the show is expected to challenge you to differentiate between the real and the fantastical, making the viewing experience all the more immersive.
If you're wondering about the production quality, rest assured, Apple+ doesn't disappoint most of the time. Many users praise the platform for its high-quality content, highlighting the top-tier production values of its shows.
The Changeling isn’t expected to be an exception, boasting stunning visuals and a gripping narrative that's sure to keep viewers hooked. At least, that’s what the critics say and what we can see ourselves in the trailer.
The first three episodes of The Changeling are set to premiere on September 8, on Apple TV+.
