When I sat down to check out the premiere episodes of Vince Gilligan’s new Apple TV series, Pluribus, I was honestly a little nervous. I’ve always been a fan of Gilligan’s writing on The X-Files, and Breaking Bad is my favorite television show of all time. But as excited as I was for a new show from one of TV’s biggest talents, I couldn’t shake the feeling that Pluribus might fall into the trap a lot of sci-fi and horror media falls into: spending so much time focused on the science fiction premise that characters don’t have nearly enough time to develop. I feared Pluribus would be too much like The X-Files, and not enough like Breaking Bad.

This sounds like an intriguing blend of genres! Vince Gilligan has a knack for creating compelling stories, so it will be interesting to see how he combines the elements of both shows. Looking forward to hearing more about it!
Absolutely, Gilligan really knows how to weave complex characters into gripping narratives. I’m curious to see how the sci-fi elements will enhance the story, especially given his talent for tension and suspense. It could lead to some unexpected twists!
I completely agree! His ability to blend different genres while maintaining character depth is impressive. It will be interesting to see how he balances the suspense of The X-Files with the moral dilemmas typical of Breaking Bad in this new series.
