This limited series isn’t a typical whodunit. While it starts with the disappearance of Milo, the story quickly becomes more about the complicated and often unsettling relationships between the characters. Uncovering who took Milo and why feels less important than watching how everyone interacts and accuses each other – and you’ll be hooked until the very end.
Currently, the series Pluribus has a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 28 critic reviews. Reviewers are calling it an instant classic, and saying it lives up to the hype surrounding its creators and actors. Collider described it as a “sci-fi masterpiece” that’s both unsettling, funny, and emotionally impactful, while consistently surprising viewers. Consequence believes it’s the best artistic work to come out of the COVID-19 pandemic, because it approaches those difficult themes in a unique way, and explores the lasting emotional effects of that time.
As a huge fan of Sons of Anarchy, I’ve always been captivated by the rollercoaster the club went on over those seven seasons – the fights with rivals, and honestly, the drama within the club itself. Jax definitely went through a lot, and the show didn’t shy away from tragedy, often taking things to really dark places. But looking back, one particular tragedy really highlighted how crucial a different SAMCRO member was to the story, making me realize Jax wasn’t actually the heart of the show.
With the addition of Pluribus, Apple TV continues to establish itself as the go-to place for original science fiction. Following critically acclaimed shows like Severance and popular series like Foundation, Pluribus offers what might be Apple TV+’s most thought-provoking sci-fi concept yet—combining big ideas about ideal societies and shared minds with personal questions about identity and feeling alone in the modern world.
The first four minutes of Pluribus depict the initial outbreak and spread of an unusual virus. While the show deliberately keeps many specifics about the virus vague, it provides enough hints to spark viewers’ curiosity and encourage speculation.
Cameron challenged his actors with demanding underwater training for The Way of Water, but he also made sure they were well-supported. The Disney+ documentary Fire and Water: The Making of the Avatar Films shows how stars like Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, and Sigourney Weaver learned to scuba dive and hold their breath in tanks. Once they became comfortable, Cameron increased the difficulty of the training.
The new Apple TV sci-fi show explores the beginnings and spread of a mysterious “virus,” but doesn’t explain why it exists or who created it. In the first two episodes of Pluribus, the main character, Carol, tries to make sense of the changed world and adjust to life as it is now.
Each episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation famously started with Captain Jean-Luc Picard, played by Patrick Stewart, delivering the iconic opening lines: “Space, the final frontier… These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise…”
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a classic work of English literature and a landmark achievement in science fiction, often considered one of the most heartbreaking stories ever written. It delves into the dangers of unchecked scientific ambition and the devastating effects of loneliness, themes that still resonate today. Guillermo del Toro’s film adaptation thoughtfully reimagines Shelley’s novel, and one of its greatest strengths is a more compelling and sympathetic portrayal of the Creature, making him both more powerful and more relatable.
