Summary

Vince Gilligan, creator of Breaking Bad and co-creator of Better Call Saul, unveils a provocative genre-bending drama in which the most miserable person on Earth is charged with saving the world from happiness. A virulent contagion sweeps across the globe and transforms every man, woman and child into blissfully content and optimist citizens. The only person who appears to be immune to the pandemic is historical romance author Carol Sturka (Rhea Seehorn). Operating from her base in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which she shares with her manager and romantic partner Helen (Miriam Shor), Carol staunchly resists the tidal wave of optimism that has washed over her friends and neighbours. She is humanity's last hope in the battle against endless joy and satisfaction

Review

Gary Rose

The mastermind behind two of the millennium’s most acclaimed TV shows is back. It’s not often you can open a preview like that, although fans of Vince Gilligan’s Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul won’t need any convincing to watch this, his new sci-fi venture. A show with this kind of pedigree creates its own hype, and the publicity for Pluribus has been tantalising and enigmatic, rather than explanatory. The trailers did tease us with two key ingredients from previous series, though: the azure backdrops of Albuquerque and Better Call Saul’s fabulous Rhea Seehorn.

A less obvious touchpoint is the sci-fi genre; Gilligan having cut his writing teeth on The X-Files during the 90s. Expect it to be high on concept, rather than crystal meth.
