‘Pluribus’ - New Psychological Sci-Fi Series from Vince Gilligan (Starring Rhea Seehorn) | Apple TV+ (11/7)

I liked the episode, only issue for me was the grenade stuff. I feel like it couldve been handled better. It made no sense for Carol to think it was fake. I loved the exchange at the end and seeing Carol's brain working asking the questions and realizing there is something there with the atomic bomb question.

I also loved this transition. I ran it back like 5x just to watch it, so clean and smooth.

The Sprouts scene was definitely a highlight, and it may just be a personal grievance of mine, but I wonder if the show would have been better served to start off with the tone/pacing of Episode 2 and 3, so scenes like that build up the intrigue and mystery, so we're left to marinate and ponder exactly what has happened and what is going on, and then we're slowly drip fed what led to all this and then we get at least two flashback episodes of the actual event near the end of the season.

Rather than having the climax right at the start, where it's already set this emotional hysteria, only for it to immediately drop off a cliff and we're left wanting more, except it drags its feet and the slow moments don't quite hit like they should because the interest for the narrative isn't the same.

I'll definitely let it all play out before making any definitive ruling, but it's just some thoughts about how it's feeling up to this point.

I feel like the grenade stuff and questioning the driver shouldve happened earlier. Hell maybe even episode 1 after she got over burying Helen. That "would you give me x? what about y?" line of questioning sorta falls flat when you see the dude in air force one with the nuclear football.

the main character is insufferable... sheesh

Also I see some of the "shots" being thrown at AI, and it's limitations so far. Gilligan shows have slow world building themes this really is just getting started.

Also I think the whole point is to feel like the main character is insufferable. She's an antihero. Which in that case she is doing an amazing job.

[Long Live The Kane]

For a show like this I need to get invested into the lore , let’s see where it goes

[Regular_P]

This has one of the worst trailers I've ever seen. I'll wait til it's all out and see what the consensus is before checking it out.

 

[Camammal]

Goddamn they made carol a complete nasty bytch lol

 

[Diondon]

First episode was interesting
the next two were annoying and weird

 

[verbalkint]

Yeah something has to give. I'm not sure if I can even do one more full episode of the most miserable bich I've ever experienced.

 

[NerdNash]

eehhhh

 

[phillycavsfan]

I'm enjoying it so far, but the show needs the Paraguayan dude to pull up to New Mexico ASAP.

 

[904]

I'm entertained

And like I said being this is Gilligan I'm sure if he has four seasons planned out the show will probably be in an entirely different space by the last season.

YOU'RE LOYAL TO THE SHOWS
CREATOR SO YOURE IGNORING
ALL OF THIS FILLER.

ITS ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED
THAT THESE THINGS WILL GIVE
THE 12 HUMANS ANYTHING THEY WANT
SO WHAT WAS THE POINT OF EP 3?

WE'RE JUST GOING IN CIRCLES.
CAROL IS MISERABLE AND THE ALIENS
ARE TRYING TO PLEASE HER.
RINSE AND REPEAT.
