"To call it "slow-moving" would be to disrespect its intentionality and gripping dramatic effect. It's more about focusing on difficult labor and using time as a tool for understanding the significance of a challenge and the determined mind-set of a person willing to put in the work. A few examples: the rigging of a junkyard magnet powerful enough to access a police evidence locker in Breaking Bad"
"We have already witnessed her determination to give the woman she loved a proper burial. Until Zosia came along with an upgrade in supplies and a bottle of Aquafina that she poured into the ground, Carol was fully prepared to carve six feet deep into stubborn volcanic rock, which would have cost her untold hours and likely some nasty blisters,"
Pluribus premiered early and is streaming on Apple TV. Vince Gilligan's hallmark patience emphasizes difficult labor and uses time as a tool to reveal character determination. The approach appears in meticulous set pieces such as a junkyard magnet in Breaking Bad, an off-site robbery rehearsal in Better Call Saul, and a seasons-long accrual of civil-suit evidence. Carol updates Helen's backyard burial after Zosia brings improved supplies and a bottle of Aquafina poured into the ground. Carol had been prepared to carve six feet into stubborn volcanic rock, accepting long hours and blisters because Helen and humanity are worth the hardship. With Albuquerque distancing itself from Carol, hungry coyotes begin targeting her home for food.
