What is Pluribus about?
Apple TVThe brief synopsis for Pluribus is that “the most miserable woman on earth must save the world from happiness.”
Better Call Saul star Rhea Seehorn plays the woman in question – an author called Carol Sturka – who everyone on the planet suddenly wants to make happy, at the same time that they turn into a placid, peaceful, and kind hive mind.
That story has a deeper meaning connected to what Vince Gilligan is observing in society at present, with the Pluribus creator telling ScreenRant: “Would this be so bad in some sense? Could it not be paradise? And that’s completely up to the viewer to decide for themselves.
“I’m not telling anybody how to parse that. But I’d like to think people could watch this and say to themselves, ‘Maybe there is another way other than what we got going on in America right now.’”
What the viewer takes away from the show will be very much up to them, with Gilligan adding: “TV is just TV – it’s not a cure for cancer, never was, never will be. But I’d love to think that people will watch this show and think to themselves, ‘I don’t necessarily want to live in that world, or maybe I do.’ We work really hard to make this a different kind of apocalypse.”
For more Pluribus, here’s Vince Gilligan explaining what sets it apart from The Walking Dead and The Last of Us, while these are more great shows to watch this month, and the following is a list of the best TV shows of 2025 so far.
