The most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness.

Critics Consensus

Genuinely original science-fiction fare from television veteran Vince Gilligan, Pluribus leads Rhea Seehorn through a brave new world with plentiful returns.

Audience Says

Sometimes falling short of its high-concept promise, Pluribus is a supremely original entry from Vince Gilligan whose trademark cinematography remains employed as part of the ensemble.

Must Watch

The cinematography is just utterly fantastic. There are so many scenes in this that I just think are captivating.

3.5/4

Rhea Seehorn’s brilliant tour de force as a lone resistor to hive mentality makes this potent provocation from Vince Gilligan one you don’t want to miss.

91/100

Pluribus is a highly entertaining grand design that is expertly crafted to lure in fans patient for world building science fiction with the opportunity for a large payoff over time.

A high concept to rival a chemistry teacher getting into meth-making to pay his medical bills or a con artist who transforms into a morally challenged criminal lawyer, Vince Gilligan’s latest is likely to have you hooked from the opening scenes.

The most promising thing, beyond Seehorn’s powerhouse performance, is that Pluribus is unapologetically character-driven, the kind of show that devotes half an episode to someone trying to bury a body.

Top tier television that feels reminiscent of a show from before the social media era.

Such a disappointment from Vince Gilligan. I felt no incentive to finish the final episode and I have no incentive to watch season 2 either. Fell completely flat for me in terms of story and delivery.

They did Rhea DIRTY in this show. It's unfathomable how they took one of the coolest premises for television in recent history and steered it straight into a cliff. I get that maybe Carol's character isn't supposed to be the most reasonable, considering everything that's going on, and that she's also an alcoholic, and alcoholics aren't pleasant to be around. But Carol's character is so incredibly unlikable and stupid, literally braindead, until the plot forces her to develop near-genius deductive skills to serve the plot. Even if we wanted to do the unlikable protagonist thing, they should have some redeeming qualities and positive attributes that people can relate to, or at least enjoy watching. Instead Carol spends the first four episodes both making DAMN sure that the problem not only knows she exists, but knows she is openly antagonistic. She then also throws a hissy fit when she meets with the others like her and turns them against her instantly. It's just bad writing. Awful.

Original and intelligent. A fun, deep reflection on humanity and an amazing character by Rhea Seehorn.
