Pluribus

If I had to say what my favourite TV shows of all time were, I would list the original Star Trek, The Twilight Zone, and Columbo. More contemporary favourites have been LOST, Battlestar Galactica (the reboot), Severance, 30 Coins, The Bear, Servant, The White Lotus, Black Summer, and Breaking Bad - Vince Gilligan's creation. He went on to make Better Call Saul, a Breaking Bad spin-off, which turned out to be just as popular. I tried to like it, but I just couldn't. Numerous people have told me I need to go back because it's great. I won't. Breaking Bad was perfect, tied with a baby blue bow. And I thought, Vince Gilligan was a name I wouldn't hear from again. Wrong. Enter Pluribus. Not a great title - certainly doesn't roll off the tongue easily. Whatever. It's my new favourite show to watch. I went in cold. Didn't know what it was about. I suggest you do the same. Spoiler Alert, if you continue to read, I will tell you a little about what the show is. Again, I would stop reading and come back after the first episode. So, if you are reading, you have already seen the show or you are one of those people who reads the last chapter or last few pages of a book so you know how it will end. Shame on you! Where is the mystery in that? Right? Bah, whatever. So, if you know the 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, it's kind of like that, except it's as if the aliens everyone turns into were from a New Age cult of brainwashed happy people. Actor Rhea Seehorn plays Carol Sturka, a woman who is unaffected by the alien body snatching virus and is trying to navigate her new world. It's fantastic. Funny. Smart. Binge-worthy.
