Stephen King and Guillermo del Toro recommend Apple TV+ horror series "Servant"

Apple TV has proven itself to be the go-to streaming service for science fiction, but it hasn’t quite topped Netflix when it comes to horror. Horror cinema is experiencing a renaissance right now thanks to the success of several independent productions, but it’s been a harder genre to crack on the small screen; sustaining a consistent level of suspense is much more challenging if there is an established premise for a series where the audience knows where the story will be going. Apple TV made the right decision to call up a horror master when the service debuted Servant , a supernatural horror show that was created and partially directed by M. Night Shyamalan . Although Shyamalan is a polarizing filmmaker who went through a period of unpopularity, he started a comeback in the mid-2010s by returning to his roots to make low-budget, high-concept horror films. Servant feels like it is cut from the same cloth, and it’s one of the few horror television shows that have taken advantage of the half-hour format.
