Pluribus is a dazzling piece of entertainment. It takes advantage of everything Gilligan learned about patient storytelling with Breaking Bad and Saul, then combines it with the high-concept ambition of X-Files, as well as the visual flair Gilligan has developed as a director on all his shows. Though the plot involves every person on the planet, the focus is often entirely on Carol, as Gilligan relies on all the things he realized Seehorn could do — tragedy, slapstick, and sheer screen presence — during her time playing attorney Kim Wexler on Saul. There are long stretches where we’re just watching Carol struggle through various tasks, like digging a grave. And it’s riveting.

The big TV event of next week — and, depending on how much Stranger Things affection you do or don't have at this point, the big TV event of the rest of the year — is the debut of Apple's Pluribus, reteaming Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn. I'll be reviewing it. I will also be recapping every episode. I'm embargoed from giving you my opinion on it until the first two episodes are literally available to stream. But perhaps you can read between some lines here.
