DICKINSON Stream on Apple TV Plus. Emily Dickinson is imbued with teenage angst and a vocabulary that includes words like “dude” and “sick” in this series debuting Friday as one of the first shows on Apple’s new streaming service. “Dickinson,” which stars Hailee Steinfeld as a version of the 19th-century poet, reimagines Dickinson as a patriarchy-fighting millennial who throws ragers , relentlessly pursues her creative impulses and hangs out with a personification of death played by the rapper Wiz Khalifa. She also rebels against her overbearing father and has a romance with her future sister-in-law. In a recent interview with The New York Times, the show’s creator, Alena Smith, described “Dickinson” as “a coming-of-age story about a radical young female artist who was ahead of her time.” The tone calls to mind teen dramas like “Riverdale.” Part of the idea, Smith said, is to consider Dickinson through a modern lens. “If she wasn’t that well understood in her time,” Smith asked, “can we understand her better in ours?”

FOR ALL MANKIND Stream on Apple TV Plus. About eight decades after the poet at the heart of “Dickinson” died, NASA landed astronauts on the moon. That’s the real history, anyway: In this alternate history sci-fi series, also debuting on Apple’s new service, the U.S.S.R. beat NASA to the punch. The show imagines how that outcome might have shaped both space exploration and America itself in the years after.
