Yes really. It's already established the hive are helpers, it makes sense they repairing the house that just had a grenade go off. Her being annoyed? Cool, makes sense. Her being a karen and doing all the that yelling about it? Overkill for ep 4 with what was already establised about them.
When you hate someone you are annoyed at everything they do, even if they are trying to help you, I see nothing wrong with her reaction, not to mention it was more mild than the ones in the first two episodes, at the end she pretty much said "yeah whatever just keep doing whatever the fukk"

The amount of people I've put onto breaking bad that I've had to push thru the 1st seasons :dead:
I’m literally one of them. My boy begged me to give it another shot before season 2. I just couldn’t get past the first 5 episodes at the time. I think it was a rainy weekend, i torrented season 1 and powered through it amazed at what I was gonna miss out on. It’s just a given now that BB is flawless in hindsight.

Iconic 1st episode. Probably the best pilot of the year and of several years.

And 3 disappointing predictable mediocre episodes that follow.

I think what hurt this this season is just repetitiveness of it and lack of weight. You always had a feeling which scene that she was going to spiral into a full Karen. You knew the outcome of every interaction after the 2nd episode.

What disappoint me the most in those 3 episodes that follow of the pilot. It had some really extraordinary scenes, but episodes themselves really didn't tell a compelling standalone story in any of them.

Just wasn't good episodic content and drip feeding of information. Probably been better as a binge rather than weekly commitment.

MAN THIS shyt IS JUST
LEADING UP TO THE GAY SCENE
I SPOKE ON AFTER EP 2.

:devil:
:evil:

When you say 'gay' I thought you meant man on man. But if it's the protagonist and the brunette rubbing on each other's clits I wouldn't mind seeing that.

(I'm only on the 2nd episode)

I get the frustration people have about the show so far but they did pick up the pace a little in the fourth episode. Vince Gilligan's hit rate is pretty high so I have faith he'll continue to turn it up from the rest of the season.

Rhea Seehorn has stated that the storyline for her new Apple TV+ show, Pluribus, becomes increasingly bizarre and features "stranger things to grapple with" as the season progresses. She even mentioned that she, as the actor, often had "no idea what's going on" while filming the series, which helped her performance as a character who is equally confused by the unfolding events.

The new series, from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan, focuses on Seehorn's character, Carol Sturka, a cynical romance novelist who is the only person seemingly immune to a mysterious event that turns the rest of the world into a happy hive mind. The show's premise is described as a high-concept, unique sci-fi tale that blends genres and sacrifices forward momentum for unpredictability, rewarding viewers who stick around for its elasticity and unexpected twists.

Seehorn noted that Gilligan loves to take the audience on a "rollercoaster ride" and that the show avoids obvious tropes, instead delving into more "nuanced, smarter" challenges.
