While I liked the show overall, the season 1 plot should’ve been covered in like 4 episodes max.
It’s not the ‘slow burn’ that Breaking bad and Better Call Saul had. They had a lot more going and had far more interesting characters. I will defend Season 1 of BCS to hell because I like the characters in the show and it’s fun seeing them doing relatively normal stuff.
In pluribus, Carol is a dumbass. The hivemind is not interesting at all and the rest of the survivors are props. Manousos is the only sane character in the show and I can get behind my man but he had way fewer scenes.
The plot just goes around in circles until the season just ends with nothing happening. The next season is also like 2 years away at least so the hype will go down because unlike Severance, this is dogshit.
I don’t know how vince will make 4 seasons of this slop. Unless they somehow multiply the survivor count by like a thousand it will remain mostly boring.
On the positive note, the actors are amazing. Rhea Seehorn is great and I love how different Carol is from Kim Wexler that I don’t even notice it.
They did set that up with the massage scene. Like the collective is more a subconscious drive and feeling than a literal single omniscient being. Each individual still has the ability to utilize their own faculties, but they also have constant access to the collective.
That exposition sequence tells me that when Zosia gets de-plurbed there’s gonna be a contradiction between her memories made while a plurb and her memories pre plurbing.
