Pluribus TV show (from Vince Gilligan)

Finally starting to get some real clues as to what this will be about:

I'm not quite sure what this is, a conspiracy theory show or something like the Twilight Zone or Black Mirror? That's kind of the vibe I get from this trailer.

Saw the first episode.

So it's not aliens... exactly. An alien signal from space basically give scientists the recipe to create a virus that spreads across the planet and links everyone into a singular hivemind. Basically, every person on the Earth has the same brain, in real-time.

Except the main character. Who is also a lesbian.

It's not bad. It's got a sluggish start but when it gets going into full-on Invasion of the Body Snatchers stuff it's interesting.

On episode 3 now. It's interesting and creepy enough, but it definitely has got some pacing issues. I don't think we needed to spend 20 minutes watching all the people restocking the grocery store -- after the first 5 minutes, we got it. Or the 10 minute opening scene in the ice hotel just to payoff in a quick line later in the episode.

So John Cena showed up in the latest one.
