It must be the prime example because as you say the movie itself and even that sequence isn’t that noteworthy other than pleasing nostalgic gamers.That was my first thought as well.

It's of course very well made. It feels like the cast knew each other beforehand and despite being just thrown into a busy day for the first episode their interactions are really convincing and engaging. Noah Wylde is just born for that role. It's impressive that they've managed to make such a fresh take on a horse beaten genre.
My absolute favorite show at the moment is Pluribus. I doesn't get any better than slow paced Vince Gilligan i my book. Rhea Seehorn is absolutely magnificent carrying the show almost by herself and the story is intriguing and original. I love the weird confusing almost positive take on a dystopian future combined with a great score and long (and sometimes insignificant feeling) scenes. It really stands out for me and tinkles my curiosity with a hint of well placed anxiety. I can certainly see why some people think it's too slow and uneventful but not me. It's so wonderfully different from most other shows.

elcuello Link ParentJust the fact that this piece of shit has managed to be even more of an asshole than Blatter in record time is baffling and quite saddening.

I’m re-watching a lot of 80’s and 90s action movies right now because of nostalgia and general comfort watching and these cartoonishly over the top villains are seriously reality now. I can’t believe it.

She’s also not afraid to tackle weird performances and alternative styles and with respect. I’ve never seen this one.
My favorits are Disturbed - Sound of Silence and James Blunt - Monsters (this one gets me every damn time and I feel her through the song) -

Again I’m not sure this law is the right way to go and I think this case has been framed in the media to be more about abuse to fit into a click baity narrative instead of the actual sentence. BUT at the same time I think it’s important to bring this behaviour forward so we can discuss the very reel personal consequences this have on people in this line of work.

At first I thought nice a Pluribus thread! Then I started reading and contrary to what I usually do when I like a show I don’t wanna read other people’s opinions and theories.
This show makes me feel something inside that I don’t want to ruin by overanalysing and talking it to death (besides with my wife). There’s a loneliness and melancholy in the story’s juxtaposition of the end of civilisation and this weird “better place” to be I feel drawn to. I don’t want the scenes or episodes to end and the drawn out mundane sequences relaxes me and feeds my everlasting hunger for authenticity. While my curiosity was peaking in the first couple of episodes about the who/what/how that’s slowly withering and it’s transforming into a true comfort show I don’t want to end or get solved. I just want to “follow along” and be there with Carol if that makes any sense. Rhea Seehorn is just absolutely amazing and luck will have it that I’m also watching Better Call Saul for the first time right now so I’m double dipping my favourite actor and loving both sides of it.
