Pluribus Review: Rhea Seehorn in Vince Gilligan’s New Apple TV Show
Here’s a summary of the key points from the provided text about the show “Pluribus“:
* Concept & Style: “Pluribus” is a sci-fi show created by Vince Gilligan (known for Breaking bad and Better Call Saul). It blends black humor with philosophical questions about happiness. It’s visually stunning, with high production value (reportedly $15 million per episode) and a “Spielbergian spectacle.”
* Plot Focus: the show centers on a character named Carol and her isolated existence.
* Pacing: The show is deliberately slow-paced, with long shots and moments of silence. Gilligan seems to be taking his time with the storytelling.
* Potential Weakness: The repetition of Carol’s situation is becoming a concern. While the show is committed to portraying the tedium of her life, it risks becoming tedious for the viewer.
* Renewal: Apple TV has renewed the show for a second season.
* Acting: Rhea Seehorn (known for better Call Saul) delivers a strong performance.
