This is based on the Apple TV Plus top 10 shows as of Friday, June 28.

‘Land of Women’

"Land of Women" is the newest drama series based on the best-selling novel "La tierra de las mujeres" by Sandra Barneda. The show stars Eva Longoria as Gala, a New York woman whose life is turned upside down after her husband gets involved in financial crimes. To escape the scandal and threats from dangerous criminals, Gala, her mother, and her daughter flee to a small town in northern Spain. As they adapt to their new life, they encounter secrets, form new relationships, and face the challenges of their new reality while striving to protect their family.

If any show had to be on the same level as comfort food, it would probably be “Land of Women”. While you shouldn’t expect any shocking twists or surprises that will keep you on the edge of your seat, enough story is given to keep you entertained throughout.
