Pluribus

The premise of the show is great , very intriguing and creates a great sense of expectation of future events.

However, the main character is just horrible, not the actress or her acting, but the character itself is such a horribly annoying person that is impossible to have any connection with her.

I am basically just waiting for her to stop complaining just so I can see what happens with the other guys , but she never stops her incessant self centered winning.

I see people comparing the show with Breaking Bad, but this is like if Marie was like 10 times more annoying and was the main character.

Overall I don't see how this show has a such high rating, doesn't really make sense.

I respect Vince Gilligan. He was involved in The X-Files and was largely responsible for the masterpiece that is Breaking Bad. It's an impressive resume. That's why I was eager to see his new work, Pluribus. At the time of writing this review, three episodes have been released by Apple. I've seen all three, but I don't know if I can bear to watch another.

The main character is unbearable. Okay, I understand that a whole build up is being prepared, but I think it's gone too far. That bad mood isn't funny anymore. It's pathological. What should seem like nonconformity is nothing more than some kind of illness.

The character doesn't care about anyone, does whatever she wants because she's extremely egocentric. It's painful to see someone like that, because it makes you want to see the Unity (yeah, I watched Rick and Morty, as well) get rid of her quickly.

I'll make an effort and I'll try to watch the fourth episode, but definitely, Vince Gilligan is mistaken in his handling of the character. I hope I'm wrong.

The moment i start watching,this series stands at 9.2.

Anything exceeding a 9 communicates this show enters GOAT territory,or its massively inflated and strongly subjected to hype and fandom.so when i see scores like this after just 2 episodes, i always get a little bit suspicious.

Regardless,I embraced this show with an immaculate open spirit, only knowing Seehorn stars,whom i tremendously appreciate.

After 2 episodes in now, i can already confidently guarantee you,this is nothing anywhere close of deserving anything near a 9.

People judging this,after just 2 episodes,as brilliant or masterpiece, and rated it to the same category as TV milestones like the Sopranos, Band of brothers or The wire,is wild...very,very wild

Im sure lots of people are going to have fun with it, but this is objectively absolutely not next level television, elevated story telling or anything smashing never seen before groundbreaking stuff you would associate with such insane ratings.

Also subjectively,for me the humor absolutely didn't work. Its just way too many poor attempts for utter meh jokes falling flat, undermining decent story developing. The show create big mystery ,but narrative wise does very little with it, the focus lies entirely on other more trivial and superficial things,the poor jokes is just one of many.

People having fun with this, that i get, but i put money this show is never going to keep up a score above 9 I wish anyone enjoying this lots of fun for the rest of the ride, but im out!

A decent show with an interesting premise, but the lead's constant anger gets exhausting fast. Three episodes in, the pacing feels slow and repetitive, which makes her intensity feel even more overwhelming.

Still, the hive-mind concept is intriguing, and despite the flaws, there's enough mystery and potential to keep me curious about where the story might go next.

I enjoyed Pluribus and I think it's definitely a well-made series with solid acting, atmosphere, and an interesting premise. The production quality is high and the story keeps you engaged most of the time.

However, the extremely high rating it currently has - around 9/10 - feels unrealistic to me. While the show is good, it's far from perfect. Some episodes drag, a few character arcs feel underdeveloped, and the pacing isn't always consistent. These flaws make the near-perfect score look more like a hype bubble than an accurate reflection of the show's actual quality.

Overall, I'd say it's a good series worth watching, but the rating creates expectations that the show simply doesn't meet.
