What is the consensus on this show? Anyone else watched the first two episode? So far I am kinda hook, but part of me felt like Gilligan should have expanded on why the US Military would create the virus signal sent from outer space. But then again, the US leadership in real life would probably do that...

Overall this show is decent, I wouldn't say its better than Severance but the first 2 episode is a very good so far.
 
I watched the first episode last night and it was "ok." I plan on watching episode 2 tomorrow night or Sunday. I hope it picks up with more character development and story.

Edited to add: You should put a spoiler alert in the thread title. You shouldn't be giving anything away to people who haven't watched, yet, but, intend to.
 
One of the thing I do kinda find interesting is this show takes place in a world with all of the fake brands from BB.

Just watched the first episode and I haven't read this thread on fear of spoilers. My initial thoughts is this show is creepy, and this is like what if the Borg (Or the Conspiracy Aliens) (TNG) invaded earth and was successful. That sequence with Carol in a state of panic when Helen died was eerie, and the. talk with Taffler was even more eerie. I'm intrigued so far.
 
Just saw the first episode. Was a really good one. Waiting to see how the season moves forward. Also was nice to see the new Apple TV logo/intro just before the show.

Saw the second episode. Another good one. Will be very interesting to see the rest of the season. Think it can be very successful like Severance.

However the big problem is how long it will take for the next season to be released. Read online that there are plans for 4 seasons. With a 2 year gap between seasons, it will be very long before the whole series is complete and to known what exactly is happening!!

Loving it. Been watching most of the day. Basically killing people by making them zombie clones = okay, but we can’t kill to feed you.🤣

Yes, this is a big problem for me. They use to end seasons with cliffhangers, and sometimes, like in the case of Severance, the time from season 1 to season 2 can be as long as 3 years… I had to re-watch the first season before watching the second one.

I don’t like waiting. That’s why I usually wait until the show is over, and I start binge watching it. It’s what I plan to do with Stranger Things for instance, I only saw the first season years ago, and I’ll watch the complete show once they release the final season.

Sometimes they cancel the show when you’re hooked to it. Sometimes the quality of the final season is not as good as it should… that’s why I prefer to wait.

Completely agree. With such long gaps between seasons, can end up forgetting the storyline. In a way, happy that Stranger Things is finally coming to an end. Shows on streaming services usually have a very long gap. Hoping that the wait for the next season of Pluribus will not be long.

Just completed the 3rd episode. Was great as usual!
