Carol seeks the truth (serum) in Pluribus episode 4

Carol seeks the truth (serum) in Pluribus episode 4

Published by Webster

Last week one of my big questions about Pluribus was whether our reluctant hero Carol (Rhea Seehorn) would find someone to help her save the world from the scourge of happiness. In episode 4, I got an answer — sort of. We’re clearly introduced to a character who thinks much like her, but how they’ll actually connect is still a big question mark. Welcome to our weekly discussion about Apple TV’s latest sci-fi series Pluribus, which comes via Breaking Bad creator (and former X-Files writer) Vince Gilligan. In the show, most of humanity has become part of a hive mind that seems only capable of positive emotions, while the perpetually miserable Carol is one of a handful of “survivors,” and also someone who desperately wants the world back the way it was. Each week, I share a few of my biggest questions about the latest episode, and Verge subscribers can use the comments to respond, pose their own questions, and posit other theories and ideas. Naturally, spoilers ahead for the first four episodes of Pluribus. …
