Audience Says

Sometimes falling short of its high-concept promise, Pluribus is a supremely original entry from Vince Gilligan whose trademark cinematography remains employed as part of the ensemble.

Pluribus centers a queer woman who learns empathy—the antithesis of the toxic men who usually anchor "prestige" shows. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
It won’t work for everyone, and it doesn’t try to. But for viewers willing to surrender to its rhythm, Pluribus reveals itself as a thoughtful, quietly provocative meditation on loneliness, connection, and the uneasy comfort of belonging. Go to Full Review
Sarah Krasnostein The Saturday Paper Jul 16, 2026
Plur1bus deftly functions as an extended metaphor for the rise of both the internet and AI which have, too often, made us far less than the sum of our parts. Go to Full Review

Matija S @mseric90 18 hrs ago Pluribus is a brilliantly original sci-fi thriller that pushes the boundaries of television. Created by Vince Gilligan, it combines suspense, dark humor, mystery, and philosophical depth to create a truly unique experience. Rather than relying on conventional post-apocalyptic clichés, the series explores individuality, freedom, conformity, and the meaning of happiness in a world transformed by a mysterious virus. Rhea Seehorn delivers a phenomenal performance as Carol Sturka, a woman struggling to preserve her identity while humanity embraces a seemingly perfect collective consciousness. The deliberately slow pacing, unexpected twists, striking visuals, and eerie atmosphere may not appeal to everyone, but they reward patience and close attention. Beneath its peaceful surface lies a disturbing vision of humanity's future. Pluribus is innovative, thought-provoking, and deeply unsettling—a remarkable series that challenges our understanding of what it means to be human. See more Owen S @oslugs 1 day ago Super original concept that had me hooked and craving more. As always I love Gilligan's decision to be a patient storyteller and let his scenes ruminate. Rhea Seehorn plays a perfectly miserable but somewhat charming lead. I can't wait to see where the story goes in season 2. See more David Z @Jared8Z 2 days ago Thought provoking, well acted & suspenseful. Another winner from Vince Gilligan & anchored by emmy winning performance from Rhea Seehorn. Wish we didn't have to wait so long for season 2 See more Ben N @Bneffer Oct 4, 2026 Great setup, wonderful acting and thoughtful progression. I love that the characters change. The pot is unpredictable and the concept of 'body snatching'' is turned on it;s head. There isn't really even a villain at this point. Just circumstances... the quintessential "doing this for the better good' idea. Can't wait to see how this turns out, and in the meantime I love the way the characters interact. See more Dalan L @RT49582044 Oct 2, 2026 Thought that maybe this could atleast compare to Breaking Bads greatness. But I absolutely hated every episode. See more DCI B @DCI_Benway Oct 1, 2026 Wonderful concept and well executed, but every other episode seemed like filler (much like other Vince Gilligan shows). Sadly, Rhea Seehorn is a bit too unlikable and perhaps the character is a bit out of her range. Still, I have high hopes for season 2 - if we get it before I'm in my grave. See more Read all reviews
