SERIES PREMIERE: Central Park is a new series from Apple TV+, and one that, at first, may sound eminently skippable. It’s an animated series about a wacky family in Central Park, where the patriarch works as a park manager. But the more you learn about this Central Park, the more intriguing it gets. It’s from the creators of Fox’s Bob’s Burgers – and when that network passed on this new series idea, Apple TV+ scarfed it up. And the show
