Rhea Seehorn in Pluribus (2025)
Follows the most miserable person on Earth and the one who must save the world from happiness.

"Breaking Bad" creator Vince Gilligan returns to television with "Pluribus," a surreal new drama that poses an unusual dilemma: What if the world's most miserable person had to save humanity from happiness? In the series' first trailer, Emmy nominee Rhea Seehorn ("Better Call Saul") stars as Carol, the most miserable person on Earth, as she navigates a surreal world in which everyone seems bent on making her happy. 

The nine-episode series reunites Gilligan with Seehorn, whose portrayal of Kim Wexler in "Better Call Saul" earned her universal acclaim and two Emmy nominations. They're joined by an ensemble cast including Karolina Wydra ("Sneaky Pete") and Carlos-Manuel Vesga ("The Hijacking of Flight 601"), with notable guest appearances from Miriam Shor and Samba Schutte. The project marks Gilligan's first return to television since concluding the "Breaking Bad" universe, bringing along several key creative collaborators including writers Gordon Smith and Alison Tatlock.

"Pluribus" debuts its first two episodes on Apple TV on November 7, 2025, with subsequent episodes releasing weekly through December 26. The streamer has already given the show a two-season order, suggesting viewers are in for another ambitious, boundary-pushing series from one of television's most innovative creators.

    Failed to hook me

    Despite an interesting premise and a strong performance from the lead character, I can't see how this show can go on for long without becoming repetitive. The first two episodes already moves at a snails pace without anything of substance happening. Add to that a weak performance by the supporting cast, the majority of which plays the same character, I fear this show is off to a rough start but with Vince at the helm I'm still holding out hope that he might surprise me and turn this into another hit.

    A Dark Comedy Take on "The Grid" ?

    Loose dark-comedy reimagining of The Outer Limits episode "The Grid," but with a completely different twist: no tech dystopia, just an alien, surreal concept that flips the world upside down in a grotesque, ironic way.

    Likeable, with a few jokes that raise a smirk, but slow and watered-down: too many scenes drag without bite.

    The protagonist is a tough, pissed-off woman, but not exactly a genius - given how available the "people" are, couldn't she herself have put them to work on curing the virus?

    From Gilligan I expected a stroke of genius, not thin soup. Hope the next episodes tighten up and don't sink to a ridiculous musical number.

    Curious, but not memorable. For now, I'm staying neutral.

    Maybe?

    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...

    Most overrated TV series I've come across

    Sorry, just because it was written by Gilligan doesn't mean it will be as good or even better than BB or BCS. The hype surrounding it is absurd. Each episode is getting slower and more boring. The concept is very different and interesting but I would say it's average at best. It's a series that you'll put on the background whilst cooking.

    Great premise, but horrible character

    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.
