I've been watching #Pluribus. It is *gorgeous* and mostly entertaining.

But *so* frustrating that the protagonist doesn't even bother asking the most basic of questions about the rules of the world.

I get that they don't want to make "Exposition! The Show! but there's a fine line between exploiting the curiosity gap and drifting off into Lost levels of lazy storytelling.

I guess I want to see the version written by John Scalzi or Andy Weir.

Pluribus is quite an intriguing tv show. In a kind of dumb comical non serious weird way.

Pluribus is awesome though. I think it's about AI.

I find it both idiotic and amazing that Pluribus by Vince Gilligan (the creator of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul) is praised purely for its originality. Like, what the hell happened? Since when is that considered a merit on its own? There are plenty of original films and series out there, but producers seem to prefer sequels and remakes these days. Viewers, on the other hand, never stopped caring about original stories. So how has that suddenly become some kind of remarkable achievement? I hate this timeline.

I love how in #Pluribus how efficiently Carol's mourning translates to anger.

She is model for all of us.

Reminder of why I like Vince Gilligan so much. The credits for his new show say it's made by humans.

Episode 1 of Pluribus was fun but a little goofy for me. I have faith in Vince Gillian.

I’m not exactly sure what I was expecting, but whatever it might have been wasn’t what #Pluribus EPs 1&2 actually are.

I think it's incredibly difficult to nail the tone of a high-concept “dramedy” like this…so many moments where I thought maybe this is where it goes off the rails and loses me. But that never happened! So far…WOW! 🤯

Vince Gilligan has done it again. "Pluribus," the new show from the creator of "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul," is winning rave reviews. "At times it brings to mind the comedy The Good Place. At other times it recalls the eeriness of HBO drama The Leftovers," writes @BBCNews's Caryn James of the nine-episode Apple TV series. Here's the full review.

Pluribus review: This new sci-fi from Breaking Bad's creator is 'one of 2025's smartest shows'

This series from Vince Gilligan stars Rhea Seehorn as a cynical woman living in a world where people are constantly happy. It's George Orwell meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
