Vince Gilligan shows are notoriously known for starting slow... circa BB and BCS but eventually picks up and becomes blindly good but an important caveat, is that, these were eras when the attention span of the world was still in intact and untainted by tik tok and the likes....

Now, my attention span and virtually most of the people viewing this, is most likely fried, and we have very very little patience, for shows that do not at least, get to the point, 3 episodes in already. The show has been placed on a very high pedestal, that i don't think it deserves. The pilot was called the "pilot of the decade", and after seeing it, and seeing how ordinary it was, i was left wondering why. This recent episode is rated a whopping 100% on RT!. So all these has lead me to my main rift with the show which is, it is nothing groundbreaking as of yet, like I have seen it before, and probably better, i dunno if you saw "Sense8", it looks like a rejigged version of it.

After seeing these initial episodes, i ain't particularly too eager to complete it tbh, and They have a plan to make about 4 seasons of it, and i am left wondering how 😒😒

And Ps...The premise "A woman trying to save the world from happiness" drew me in, because i thought they met it metaphorically and she was a very very unhappy and depressed bastárd, which would have made for a better plot, only to find out they meant it literally fgs 😭😭
I don't really take RT ratings for TV shows that seriously. Regarding the format; it's very shallow and not always reliable unlike it's usefulness regarding movies.

TV shows usually have far fewer critics watching it and giving their rating. So some ratings could be swung to a bias, depending on the group of people doing the ratings. But when a rating is subjected to large pool of people from different background watching and rating, then the score becomes more equitable than the thoughts of a few industry persons.

The only time RT becomes a very reliable metric and on par with its quality compared to movies is when you're checking ratings for very popular or big shows. Those ones at least usually have hundreds of critic ratings compared to movies.

Shows like the Flash, Arrow and the likes have almost a near 100% RT score on average and on some seasons, but surely I can't agree with you on those scores. grin

You'd see shows having like 25-50 reviews. Man, I can't fully trust such RT score cos the pool is too small and homogeneous. Compared to a show having about 90-150 reviews, now we're talking.
Those ones offer a more balanced and objective look of things. For significant movies, RT reviews usually measure around 300+ reviews on average from critics.

So that's where the discrepancy comes from between movies and TV shows regarding RT scores.

So Pluribus is basically communism wrapped up in sci-fi jamboree.

I have had enough, won't be there for the rest of the journey.

Just watched episode 3 of Pluribus: People that are saying they didn’t enjoy it: What are you talking about? I hate to break it to you Pluribus is the best show in the world right now.

I get it though. There are alot of great shows, I struggled with bored while watching e.g Stranger Things, Dark etc.

Sometimes it’s personal biase, if i know its not an action genre I’d avoid it thinking it won’t be interesting; like The Apothecary Diaries, which turned out to be a Banger!

Dark season 1 and 2

7/10..

Fantastic series,. Even though at times, it may get difficult to understand and seem to get haphazard and it surely will be confusing, but things play out well trust me..

Twas just too funny, this first episode. From Ainsley interview( her interviewer was just digusted) to the dinner. The speech was goated, finishing everybody. After she was done, I had to watch it again.

Killed kwa? Why? Her head is not correct, yes but at least she isn't deluded like the other non-infected that aren't bothered about what is happening.

If that situation occurs in the real world the people left won't be bothered either. Just say the truth.

The fact you quoted half of my post makes this a rhetorical question, cause I already answered your question.

No matter, I will answer you. I am enjoying the story telling, the concept of the series itself is new in a way. Then there are the theories lol (this part if you have a nerdy partner you would really enjoy). what you called “filler” was actually important information. Is it that the virus doesn’t affect miserable people. Carol can’t seem to enjoy anything but again there can’t be just 12 miserable people in the entire world. Why do they make effort to keep contacting her like their lives depends on it? So many questions.

Don’t forget it is Drama, very slow burn. it is okay if you don’t enjoy drama. For most parts i don’t too but this one I must see it to the end.

No mind am. Free everything, a world without racial discrimination. I am sure after that her second meltdown if it was real life, the others would have plotted and killed her

She is the only human being who is normal enough out of the ones they already showed us.

A normal person won’t be happy with what’s happening and the only mad person there was the woman with kid, she should be the one looking for a way to get her son back.
Normal yet killing 20 million people in 2 days

Baba is having a time of his life. You will first enjoy then when you’re grow tired of too much enjoyment like all humans do, concerns will start creeping in

Real, and they'll be ethically correct to do so if they chose to.

So in the whole wide world of over 7 billion people, you have only 12 miserable people? We can confirm she and the is it Paraguayan dude are paranoid and rightly so. But the rest of the English speaking folks don't look so miserable. That theory is dead on arrival. C'mon.

As for slow burn, I enjoyed Sharp Objects, every episode had something, this episode unfortunately was bare. No new truths were revealed, nothing was done. This is suppose to be like episode 5 or 6 of a 10 episode show not 3 of any kind of series.

Anyway, we all have our own view sha, that's why we are different.

She didn't know na, for the first one. And the second one, even me sef I go curse them, like allow me to breathe, una don kuku know say I nor like una before. So why all of una dey gather me?

While the numbers she is dropping are high for an individual, you can't tell me I'm not allowed to get angry or curse out. Where is my freedom of expression, if everytime I get angry, millions are dropping like flies.
