Pluribus

When I started watching it, the series had a 9.1/10 rating, so I was expecting something extraordinary. Maybe I'm jaded, but it definitely wasn't. Nothing revolutionary, nothing new. Not bad, but not innovative either.

The first episode is promising, but the second is rather boring...

We'll see if the rest lives up to expectations, but it doesn't bode well. At first glance, it looks like a series with only dialogue, differing opinions, more dialogue, and not much else.

To be continued...

Two episodes in, I'm not sure what to think yet. The concept is original and there's definitely something interesting here, but as often happens with Vince Gilligan, it takes a long time to get moving. The slow-burn approach is intentional, yet at times it feels overly drawn out, and I caught myself skipping ahead during a few scenes that just lingered too long.

It looks great, the acting is solid, and the idea has real potential, but I'm struggling to feel fully engaged. I'm more curious than excited, and I still don't really see where the show is heading. It's not bad at all, just a bit too slow, occasionally dull, and not gripping enough from the start.

Hopefully it finds its rhythm.

I really don't know what I think of this show. Is it genius or rubbish. Really it is the eye of the beholder and what mood you are in. The initial premise was great . The first 2 episodes fun and intriguing and then what appeared to be a metaphorical brick wall, a show condemned really by its own story limitations. Literally it appears to have no where to go but takes a long time not to get there. At least 3 episodes did nothing . I really mean nothing. The acting is good the filming looks great. The lead has a well fleshed out character but 9 episodes was too much. Its worth watching you could probably jump the middle 3 maybe 4 episodes you wont miss anything.

This first season drags on like the first book in a long series. While I understand that the main character is designed to be frustrating to watch and unlikeable, you could literally throw a stone into a suburb anywhere in USA and hit someone with exactly like her. She's triggering in the worst ways.

For the first time in my life, I'm convinced that Apple and Vince have built a bot army to worship this series EVERYWHERE on the internet. The first episode was good, no question, but the second one is already a filler. None of the truly important questions are followed up on: where does the signal actually come from? Who's sending it? There's just a signal from space that can somehow be converted into a virus, no biggie I guess? Why is it being sent? Everyone's already calling the series a masterpiece, but no one can explain why exactly. Nobody said Breaking Bad was a masterpiece after just two episodes. But with Pluribus, it's like everyone's already seen the whole season and decided it's one.
