The Apple TV Plus movie CODA picked up the top award at the 2022 Oscars ceremony, making Apple TV Plus the first streaming service to take home the Best Picture statuette. The movie tells the story of seventeen-year-old Ruby (Emilia Jones), who is the sole hearing member of a Deaf family — a CODA, or “child of Deaf adults.”
Ruby interprets for her family but is given a difficult choice between staying and helping them and following her musical dreams. As well as the Best Picture Oscar, CODA star Troy Kotsur won Best Supporting Actor and writer Siân Heder won Best Adapted Screenplay at the 94th Academy Awards for their work on the film.
So, if you’re one of the likely many who took out an Apple TV Plus subscription to watch CODA, we’ve got you covered on how to spend the remainder of your first month on Apple TV Plus (one of the best streaming services). If you have and are wondering what to watch next, we have some suggestions for you below.
What to watch after CODA
Pachinko
Based on the bestselling book of the same name by Min Jin Lee, Pachinko is an epic story that spans four generations of the same family across three countries: Korea, Japan and America. Viewers follow the lead character, Suja, as she falls pregnant and has to leave Korea. As with CODA, we see what effect her decisions have not just on her, but on other parts of her family, in this case over a period of decades.

This Apple TV Plus show also has quirky and modern elements – lookout for the cameo appearances of Death!

The off-the-court stories unpack what growing up in America is really like.
