Pluribus: First Two Episodes Apple TV
They avoided me, I avoided them. The hype cycle that is. I knew diddly-squat about this show other than showrunner Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad/X-Files) and lead actor Rhea Seehorn (Better Call Saul).
If you entered unspoiled, I love that for us! Instant canon for prestige TV debut episodes. Hit me like the Lost, Mr. Robot, or Mad Men premieres did.
Gilligan is a craft master. Seehorn holds the pluralities of the lead into a singular force. Mystery boxes are quickly discarded, and these episodes establish a hub of infinite possibilities.
I held my breath through these two. Watch It.
