    I just finished #Pluribus and found it a very thoughtful exploration of humanity, loneliness, love, and individualism vs a collective hive mind.

    The series asks its audience to consider questions in ways I rarely experience at a time when so many programs feel like more of the same.

    I recommend watching and am interested to hear what others think.

    I canโ€™t say I *enjoyed* the first season, but it has some depth and explores some serious issues, as you say. I appreciate it. The execution is excellent and the writing sharp, I just find the main characters so unlikable and the events stressful.

      @Sheril very much reminded me of the ending of evangelion. Anime nerd lore, in case youโ€™re unfamiliar with it

          @icastico I suspect part of the story arc revolves around how the events transform the characters. If you compare Carol between the first and last episodes, sheโ€™s grown a lot.

            @Sheril there are a number of tricky moral and ethical issues that the show tackles well. It doesnโ€™t claim to know the answers, but shows the conflict.

              @Sheril I loved it too. The pace of some of the episodes conveyed the isolation very well, and the contrast between those pursuing their egotism and those pursuing the common good was great food for thought as to how to handle such a situation.

                @Sheril To me it felt like a zombie movie where I kinda liked the zombies and kinda hated the hero.

                  @Sheril Overall, food for thought. An entity that has parts that die when attacked vocally doesn't hold up as a long term survival solution. Not sure if a series 2 would have anywhere to go.

                    @Sheril I love love love the complaints that the heroine is unlikeable, because the whole point (to me) is that the average human, someone who might really be a rare immune case, is most likely going to be someone unlikeable to a majority of people because *most of us are unlikeable to a majority of people*.
