Apple TV+ today premieres its latest drama series Surface, starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Sophie. Sophie is suffering from memory loss, which she believes is caused from injuries sustained from a previous suicide attempt. But as she wrangles with amnesia, she discovers that the story she had been told may not actually be the truth.

Although the amnesia thriller is a common trope, it is new to the Apple TV+ library and Surface is Apple’s first contribution to the genre. The show features many twist and turns to keep viewers hooked, although the overall result is a little melodramatic.

Mbatha-Raw leads the series, after her outstanding performance in the first season of Apple’s The Morning Show. Oliver Jackson-Cohen plays the mysterious husband. Surface is produced by Hello Sunshine.

The first three episodes air today, July 29, with the remainder of the season rolling out weekly with new instalments every Friday through September 2nd.
