US EditionApple TV’s New Pluribus Show Might Be Its Best Sci-Fi Series Yet
Apple TV’s Pluribus follows Carol Sturka, one of the few unaffected by a hive mind controlling billions, highlighting challenges to individuality and humanity’s future.
- On November 7, Apple TV released the first two episodes of Pluribus Season 1, with exclusive streaming and weekly rollouts for the nine-episode inaugural season.
- The series centers on a phenomenon that links almost the entire global population into a single hive mind called the Others, while Carol Sturka, the immune protagonist, is one of only 13 people resisting this enforced contentment.
- In Albuquerque, New Mexico, Carol Sturka's partner Helen dies in a water-supply mass spreader event, and the Others monitor Carol through Helen's mind and a surveillance drone.
- Direct confrontations spark lethal hive seizures that typically kill around 11 million people, adding to nearly 900 million deaths from the joining, and Carol causes another seizure she calls `the biggest mass murderer since Stalin`.
- Vince Gilligan's authorship positions Pluribus as a critical success, reuniting with Rhea Seehorn and earning a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score with a second season already planned.
