What to Know

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.

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

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. Go to Full Review
James Croot The Post NZ 17h
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. Go to Full Review
Bethan Ackerley New Scientist Feb 8
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. Go to Full Review
William Schwartz Book & Film Globe Jan 24
What makes Pluribus compelling as weekly storytelling is that by having such an unpleasant, yet still sympathetic, character at its center, we can see how Carol is her own worst enemy. Go to Full Review

Ahxel T @ahxel 1d Without spoiling anything, what I like about it is how it gives way for us to compare an advanced "Other" to us human beings, who are also advanced in our own regard. It’s not for people who don’t appreciate slow burn. Not for people who don’t like heady concepts. Personally, I really liked it. I can nitpick on some faults but overall I give it a thumbs up. I wanna say it’s great. It kinda is. See more Guy D @Caffinateddiesel 2d BORING!!! How about not filling time with the same recorded message 10 times an episode. The premise could have been cool but nothing really happens. Everything in and around the show has potential but the pacing is so terrible it's hard to sit through. I ended up skipping large portions of drawn out nothingness. See more Anthony F. @Willow8675309 4d Very slow. I wanted and tried to go past episode 6 but to no avail! Try it if you feel like hoping for a better next episode, but beware it just doesn’t come. See more Daniel M @RT48976927 5d M'ha paregut una série molt molt xula i interessant. L'actriu principal ho fa genial i la trama acompanya totalment. cent per cent recomanada. Bessets. See more Pavle B @RT52731133 Mar 24 I was embarressed of myself for watching this. The director shows you clearly his intentions and they are pathetic at least. Two main characters are most unlikeable characters in history of television imo. See more Paul B @OddBurton Mar 23 AI, hive mind, the Borg ... Just another take on a "collective" society. Problem is that it goes absolutely fuck-all nowhere over eight episodes. Character development is, at best, minimal. The un-joined characters are all deeply unlikable and the joined ones are just annoying. There is no "deep" thought here, nothing to actually discuss, because we still know next to nothing about the body-snatchers. The joined can't lie yet carol never asks "what are you?", "where do you come from?", "how did you get here?", "what's your end game?", or any number of a thousand other questions any reasonable person would ask. To be fair, there are some humorous moments, but the show is so bloody slooooooooooooowww the tortoise is already at the post race party drinking his eleventh victory beer while Carol is still standing in the starting block lacing up her shoes.
