"Last week one of my big questions about Pluribus was whether our reluctant hero Carol (Rhea Seehorn) would find someone to help her save the world from the scourge of happiness. In episode 4, I got an answer - sort of. We're clearly introduced to a character who thinks much like her, but how they'll actually connect is still a big question mark."
"Welcome to our weekly discussion about Apple TV's latest sci-fi series Pluribus, which comes via Breaking Bad creator (and former X-Files writer) Vince Gilligan. In the show, most of humanity has become part of a hive mind that seems only capable of positive emotions, while the perpetually miserable Carol is one of a handful of "survivors," and also someone who desperately wants the world back the way it was."
Pluribus depicts a near-future where most of humanity exists within a hive mind that produces only positive emotions. Carol (Rhea Seehorn) is one of the few survivors who resists the hive and longs to restore the world to its previous state. Episode 4 introduces a new character whose thinking resembles Carol's, suggesting the possibility of an ally. The nature of that character's motivations and how a partnership with Carol might develop remains unclear. The series originates from Vince Gilligan and unfolds across weekly episodes with ongoing mysteries about resistance and connection.
