I just watched the first episode of Pluribus and holy shit I put off watching this for too long.

The episode was great. At first it started off kind of awkward, as it is a Giligan show I expected it t be, but holy moly did it ramp up fast.

I am stoked for episode 2 this Thursday.

Honestly Apple TV shows in general seem to punch above their weight this one was definitely a surprise!

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Apple TV is really leaning into the SciFi and it is awesome. It is really nice to have a bunch of well funded sci fi shows.

Hoping they get announced as the stewards of the Red Rising series 😅🤞

[–] Jimbabwe@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

That’d be bloody damn prime

Just wait until Neuromancer drops. Have word it will be beyond dope.

[–] KindnessIsPunk@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

Really been enjoying Shrinking from Apple TV and Severance obviously.

Pluribus has ruined others for me so far this year. No new show has gripped me like this in a loooong time. Top quality writing, acting, and cinematography.

The pilot was amazing, but it did set a bar that I felt the rest of the season couldn't surpass. I'm still looking forward to Season 2 though

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 0 points 1 week ago

Don't worry. It stays good.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This and Murderbot give me hope that they'll get Neuromancer right.

[–] RecursiveParadox@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Friends in the know say it's all of the right.

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's an excellent series, I look forward to what comes next but hate to remember that season 2 is still a ways off.

I feel like the whole thing is going to be a good binge watch when it's eventually all out there.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Oh no, is there going to be a long wait between seasons?

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Yeah, season 2 not expected until late 2027 at the earliest.

IMO, I'm okay with letting Vince Gilligan cook to make sure it's done right. But it does sting a bit when you can't wait to see what comes next after season 1.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago

There always is now. Higher production budgets mean less episodes and longer waits.

“We thought we knew what we were gonna do. And then you get into it and you’re like: Do we? Do we really know?”

He references the fact that maybe they just ignore the giant nuke they left on her driveway at the end of last season, and the implication is that they may not actually know what to do with it.

My comment:

It's not looking good.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Thats a bummer, hopefully it will be worth the wait!

[–] oneguynick@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I was in the same boat and finally watched it on a flight awhile back. Very cerebral and an interesting concept all around. For sure worth a watch and one of the few shows that lived up to the hype as of late.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

I was in a show hole and realized that I had this one on my list, I am glad it started off with a bang!

[–] LemmyTryThisAgain@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I hate having to wait for the next season. Season 1 was great and hope they keep it up in season 2

Weisus Christ.

Pluribus is a new stage in the LGBT movement, a shift toward Christianophobia. The proof is the Paraguayan Catholic Gilligan needed as a disguise.
