    I've been doing Apple's Pluribus with the wife.

    I went into it purposely blind. I've been relatively pleased with Apple lately, it feels (for the most part) they are taking up the mantle of quality that HBO has seemingly given up.

    We really have enjoyed Severance, and I have enjoyed Vince Gilligan's other work.

    Without any spoilers, the direction the show has taken right out of the gate is super interesting so far. I was not expecting it, my mind immediately assumed certain tropes and I've been repeatedly proven wrong, which is nice.

    When the "survivors" are assembled, I was expecting more people to be on Carol's side. I plan to watch episode 3 soon, but I was not expecting all of the "survivors" to be so ok with this.

    Also the implication that the hive mind cannot hurt anything could prove to be an interesting point of contention.

    I really didn't like Task on the first episode, but I'm about four or five in and it's better. A little predictable at times, but that's okay. Ruffalo is great. For all its faults, the MCU rescued...

    I really didn't like Task on the first episode, but I'm about four or five in and it's better. A little predictable at times, but that's okay. Ruffalo is great. For all its faults, the MCU rescued a lot of good actors from the spiral of romcoms.

    Pluribus is interesting and also too slow. Is being slow an Apple thing?

      I think it has more to do with Vince Gilligan, his shows normally go slow with big payoffs at the end of the season, so far I think Pluribus is adding interesting information with each episode.

      I feel like there is some kind of velocitization effect going on. “Slow” shows today wouldn’t be considered slow 10 years ago. I appreciate the pace.
