We’ve been enraptured by Carol Sturka (Rhea Seehorn) since we were first introduced to the grouchy curmudgeon in Vince Gilligan’s first episode of the brain-breaking sci-fi series Pluribus. She’s a romantasy author with so much self-loathing that watching her feels like a train wreck: impossible to look away from. Yet while she may be abrasive, Carol remains deeply sympathetic and relatable, whether that be because of her depression-watching The Golden Girls, or reacting to the news that the world is now taken over by a hivemind by, understandably, freaking the fuck out.
