Anybody watching "Pluibus"? I just finished episode 2 ***spoilers***
I'm hooked, even though I find it horrifying.
What a nightmare scenario!
I find the idea of having a hive brain just beyond terrifying. I don't want to know everything anyone has ever thought about me.
Ugh!!!
Also, considering the hive, or whatever, has all the wisdom of every human, they sure seem to do some stupid things.
Like, setting zoo animals free?
That's not kind at all!
If I were in Carol's place, I would have lost my temper over that!
That's consigning most of those animals to a cruel death.
I do suspect that somehow this infection is a set up for an alien invasion.
I'm also really disappointed by the five other "individuals" Carol met.
You'd think at least one would be freaked out by such a radical change in the world.

It really is the worst show I've ever seen, and it's not just me, look at the reviews.
How much is Apple paying for these fake reviews?
After reading the reviews on IMDB, I found I am not alone.
Most people dislike the show immensely.
I'd rather watch reruns of the X-Files.

What is all the hype about? Vince Gilligan's talented. Sure. Rhea Seehorn was great in Better Call Saul, especially the finale.
But what in the world is going on in this show?
Production values seem B-movie grade. Maybe that's the point?
The plot is frankly ridiculous.

I don't get the inflated rating, it's an okay series, really stretched out, with very little character development or anything of much going on in the long running episodes (so far 3 are out), hopefully it will improve but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Excited to see Gilligan back and the 1st episode did not disappoint, but the last 2 have been total snooze fests. Carol is absolutely insufferable. Could they have written a worse character. I was rooting for the grenade. As many have said, this has 1 episode left to make grab me, but any more of Carol's insufferable tantrums and I also would rather watch Golden Girls re-runs. Can't believe this thing is pushing a 9 rating.

Pluribus is the televisual equivalent of watching beige paint dry in slow motion. Apple TV's latest slog is so boring it makes buffering feel eventful, so slow you'll age in real time, and so convoluted that even the characters seem lost. Every "twist" lands with the impact of a wet tissue, every scene drags like it's wearing concrete boots, and the dialogue feels algorithm-generated by a bot that hates you. Save yourself the subscription fee and take a nap instead-same effect, less disappointment.
