There are many types of TV series that fascinate, but few are as fascinating as those that play with the mind. Psychological dramas don’t need big explosions or chasesBecause its greatest power is to raise suspicion, analyze characters, question what you see, and most importantly, make you think about yourself.

The best part about such stories is that you can enjoy them whenever you want. You can place them on devices such as iPhone or iPad, or experience them on the big screen with Apple TV. Today I present to you three series that take psychological tension to another level. They’re not about pure terror, they’re about suspense, mystery and deep exploration of the human mind.

Severance Pay – Apple TV+ (9 episodes)

What if you could literally separate your personal life from your work life? “Separation” starts from a premise that is as absurd as it is disturbing: A company employees a surgery that splits their memories. While they are at work, they do not remember anything about their lives outside. And when they go out, they don’t remember anything about what they did inside.

The series explores themes such as identity, freedom, control and emotional manipulation.. There are no monsters, but there is a feeling that something very strange is happening behind those perfect white doors. What’s interesting is that each character reacts differently to this mental split, and you, the viewer, begin to question what “being yourself” really means.

It is visually perfect: cold environments, clinical lighting and guidance that increase psychological distress. Watching this on Apple TV is quite an experience, but it also works great on iPhone or iPad as each shot is carefully composed. “Severance” is one of those shows that starts slowly and then doesn’t let go.

on Apple TV

Ripley – Netflix (8 episodes)

Dark, elegant and disturbing. This is “Ripley,” a series shot entirely in black and white that shows that psychological thrillers don’t need color to shine.

The story follows Tom Ripley, a seemingly calm, kind and charming but extremely dangerous man.. He is an expert manipulator, a great liar, and someone who will do anything to survive his new life.

The fascinating thing about this series This is how you can get into the mind of a sociopath without falling into exaggeration.. Ripley isn’t scary because she screams or goes crazy; He is scary because he is calm, intelligent and unpredictable. And the worst thing: sometimes he even makes you empathize with him.

Directing and photography are pure art. Each scene resembles a museum piece and the tension builds. Ideal for watching on iPad with headphones or on a good screen with Apple TV to savor every uncomfortable silence.

If you like stories where you don’t know who to trust… this is for you.

Only on Netflix

There’s no doubt that The Outsider may be one of the most disturbing series you’ll ever see, without delivering a single scare.

The Outsider – Max (10 episodes)

Adapted from Stephen King’s novel “The Outsider”. It mixes the police investigation with a deep psychological drama. It all starts with a terrible crime: A child is found murdered and all evidence points to a teacher loved by the community. Witnesses, cameras, DNA, everything incriminates him.

There’s just one problem: suspect was elsewhere at the same time (verified). Couple? Mistake? Anything else?

The series starts like a classic thrillerbut it slowly turns into a story about grief, fear, beliefs, and how the human mind searches for explanations even when there are none. The characters fight between logic and the impossible, and you fight them too.

The atmosphere is heavy, grey, full of silence and stares. It is not intended to scare with shocks, but rather the idea that something invisible can manipulate our emotions and decisions. “Foreign” It is very popular on Apple TV due to its cinematic atmosphere.but it’s also interesting if you watch it on your iPhone before going to sleep (be careful… you may not want to turn off the light).

Which one to see first?

It depends on what you want to see right now:

• Want something original and different? Start with severance pay. It will blow your mind with its concept.
• Prefer stylish thrillers and morally gray characters? Ripley is a disturbing work of art.

All three explore the human mind in different ways: control, obsession, fear. And they’re all perfect to enjoy on iPhone, iPad or Apple TV, with good picture quality, surround sound and the ability to watch them wherever you want. Choose your favorite device, dim the lights… and prepare to experience more than you expected.
