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.

Seehorn’s performance, basically playing an unlikable jerk, is amazing.

The premiere hints at many types of extinction events before pivoting to a cataclysm so surprising, it’s useless to guess.

If the character sometimes frustrates me, I completely love the way creator Vince Gilligan continues to baffle, amuse and surprise me with his storytelling approach in each episode.

4/4

"Pluribus" (look up the term before watching) lays out its premise with precision, but it’s the show’s intelligence and its uncanny emotional realism that delivers the real hook which inevitably reels you in.

Dec 4

Like Breaking Bad and Saul, it is set in Albuquerque, features a thorough exploration of capitalism and what it means to exist in today’s society, and anger. It is entirely predicated on anger.

This was a good show to start with, however it has become tedious! I just watched episode 7 and NOTHING happens, the story doesn't progress in any meaningful way, literally a complete waste of time!

So original - so pregnant with ideas/concepts/situations/implications it's the video version of Stravinsky's, Rite of Spring. It won't be appreciated by most - but it's something new on this earth in a sea of dreck.

I am so disappointed in this show. I love BB and BCS, so I am sticking with it out of respect for Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn, but man...this is so boring. All that has happened so far in the 6 episodes I have watched could have happened in 2 episodes. They are just dragging this along, painfully so. I absolutely loved Rhea in BCS, and her acting is good in this, but couldn't they have actually written Carol as a likeable character?! Really difficult to root for her or to be attached to the story when we are forced to watch it from this characters perspective. Really cool idea for a show, but it needed way more than just a good idea.

Another low quality production from Apple TV. I made it through one-and-half episodes before the absurdity of it all forced me to turn it off and remove it from my Continue Watching list. That said, it's currently the number one show on Apple TV, so... you might like it. I certainly didn't.

Why did the critics like this show? I thought the premise was intriguing, but the lead character is so unlikable it's unbearable to sit through. She's supposed to be a smart person but she asks no pertinent questions. I would be asking the hive mind so many questions. It would be non-stop questions. How can the main character stay angry for so long and not be inquisitive about her situation? I gave up after three episodes. Life's too short.

The main character's personality make her extremely unlikeable and annoying. I've tried to keep watching with all the outside hype but I find myself turning it off early each time.
