Apple TV’s 2-Part Sci-Fi Masterpiece Shatters Another Milestone
Apple TV has become the go-to streaming site for quality sci-fi content. In the past five years, the streamer has delivered critically acclaimed, mind-bending series such as the winner of ten Primetime Emmys, Severance, and dystopian gems that rival the very best must-see shows, such as Silo. Right now, perhaps the most exciting sci-fi series proving popular on the platform is Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, the Godzilla spin-off that first debuted to great acclaim in 2023.
Starring father-son duo Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell, Pachinko star Anna Sawai, Flatliners‘ Kiersey Clemons, and more, the second season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters premiered in late February and instantly rose to the top of the streaming charts. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Season 2 boasts a “certified fresh” rating of 79% from critics and a positive 71% from audiences. The critics’ consensus on the site reads, “Against all odds, Monarch continues to pack a striking gut-punch of action-drama by embracing its Legacy of Monsters‘ talent and leading with a cast of rich and complex characters.“
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters hasn’t just been well-received on Rotten Tomatoes, with Collider’s review of the second season by David Caballero dubbing it “another solid building block in the MonsterVerse,” adding that “the hope is that Monarch: Legacy of Monsters returns for Season 3.” Now, as Season 2 enters its final few episodes, the explosive sci-fi favorite has hit a monster streaming milestone. At the time of writing, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters has surpassed 250 consecutive days on the Apple TV streaming charts in the U.S.
