Apple’s run of excellent sci-fi looks to continue with Pluribus. The series has some strong pedigree; it’s helmed by Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul creator Vince Gilligan, who also has a history in the genre working on The X-Files. It’s also a show that requires a lot of trust from viewers, with a strange concept, slow pace, and plentiful mysteries.
The show follows a woman named Carol (Rhea Seehorn) who is one of the only people on Earth unaffected by a scourge of infectious happiness that has completely altered the planet. It’s a little post-apocalyptic, a little Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and yet also unlike almost anything else out there.
