ScreenTimes Apple TV Recommendations:

Making It

NBC/Peacock | TV-PG

‍Jonathan - "I’m very much not a fan of reality competition shows like The Great British Bakeoff so I was a little sceptical of this crafting competition show. However, I started watching it on the back of a recommendation and the presence of hosts Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman. I’m glad I did as this is the most comforting warm blanket of a show I’ve watched in years.

Set various challenges - typically a ‘Faster Craft’ and a ‘Master Craft’ - by hosts Amy and Nick and overseen by judges Dayna Isom Johnson and Simon Doonan, the contestants set about creating their work from scratch using everything from sticky tape to rope to wood to foam. Anything goes.

What’s irresistible about this show is the warm, positive vibes shared by the contestants. Everyone encourages each other, jokes around and often even helps their fellow contestants with their ‘crafts’. Throw in the comedy improv skills of hosts Amy and Nick and some genuinely inspiring works of craft and you have a show that’s perfect after a long work day, a rainy weekend or any other time you want to smile and be inspired. The warmest, friendliest of places to visit through your TV.

The good news is that the show is also arriving in the UK on Sky via Peacock later in the year."

Wurdweb

Apple Arcade

‍James - "This addictive and super-charming word puzzler has topped the Apple Arcade charts since its release last week and with good reason. It’s one of the best games I’ve played on the platform and I’ve actually struggled to put it down. Imagine a cross between scrabble and crossword puzzles with cute little characters thrown in and you’ve sort of got the beginnings of what makes Wurdweb so great. The game is a fantastic way to chill out, but make no mistake, it can cause ultra competitiveness too. My wife and I have been battling to beat each other’s high scores over the last week and have found ourselves saying ‘just one more game’ too many times when we should be working or going to sleep!

Check out my our review of Wurdweb here."
