Hmm, interesting. I might give it a watch

Boring as fuck. They show people being infected with whatever virus this is and the entire world is basically just standing in place all infected all unable to move or do much of anything
and then the le epic twist
>actually it's not an outbreak at all, everyone are just a hivemind now :^)
well where's the immediate threat
>they're months off of figuring out why 5 people are immune to becoming part of the hivemind
well are they evil do they want to take over the world
>no they just do whatever you ask and want to make this comfortable for you as possible
I tried, but it just isn't very entertaining. The pilot is promising, but once you get to the second episode it slows down significantly and becomes exactly what most people have complained about just screaming lesbian woman with the twist that her emotions affect the entire population of the planet aside from about 5 people

>>217252267
It’s not amazing but it’s still pretty good and a plebfilter

It's enjoyable, it feels like a mid tier sci fi novel which already puts it above 99% of "sci fi" tv made today. The slow pace seems like it's filtering a lot of retards but I find it comfy. I think the pilot is more than worth a shot if you're interested enough to make a thread about it

>>217252267
it's really good... if you don't have a fried attention span
the 40-60 minutes episodes seem to fly past in half that time
it's the opposite of slop; it's a Tarkovsky filter, getting rid of the wrong sort of person—the marvel fans and dopamine addicts—so as not to cast its pearls before swine

it criticises woke, it criticises AI, it criticises the groupthink of the pandemic era, it criticises mass migration, and it does it in such a way that the blind, braying supporters of these things are too dense to understand
they think it's a slow-burn scifi drama about a lesbian

>>217252267
It beloved by stupid people who think they're smart.

>>217254267
It's literally the opposite midwits are all up in arms because they're proud that they "understood" a relatively simple concept so now it's beneath them

better call snail tier pacing rugpull after a scifi movie tier intro

I went into it with few expectations, knowing little except that it was "sci-fi", but came out of it pleasantly surprised with stuff to think about. Not exactly deep philosophical issues, but it's entertaining all around and well put together.

>Write three episodes worth of plot progression

>Fucking smug idiots genuinely try to say it's a slow burn
I dropped Pluribus after the episode where 5 episodes in or something Carol finally gets a whiteboard, writes down a bunch of questions to finally narrow down the hivemind, and drags in a hivemind guy to make it answer questions.
Then instead of actually asking the questions, she asks one about whether her dead grandma GF was patronizing her or not, gets upset, and ends the scene without any new information despite 'getting new information' being the entire setup. Similarly, I loathed the scene where, when Carol tried calling the Paraguayan guy, they replay that ENTIRE scene from his perspective in its entirety, despite that not giving us anything new or interesting. (Showing his life in the storage facility is good, but the latter 2/3rds of that opening were not)
Maybe it gets better near the end of the season but I just could not take how little was really going on

It's somewhere in the middle. Not as good as I was expecting but not completely terrible.

>>217252267
It certainly kino. The main character karen is supposed to be annoying american stereotype. .

>>217253465
People like you are why you have to have slop like stranger things explain everything very slowly so you can grasp the concepts. You have obviously only seen like 2 episodes, and if you don't have questions like:
>what are they doing after the clean up
>who sent this message and what is their intention
>why do they feel the need to placate the angry and surly main character
>what are they doing in other parts of the world
>how would I react in this situation
The immediate threat is the extinction of culture and way of life of humans. Everythibg we have built is being homogenozed and erased for an unknown purpose.
Anyway, it's not a terribly deep show. But it's obviously too intelligent for you to consume and enjoy.

>>217252267
It is a well written exploration of grief.
If you are expecting hard sci fi, not for you.
But if you want a well done character study with good cinematography you will probably enjoy.

>>217252267
Watching paint dry is more entertaining

People that find the show boring are fundamentally broken people who can't experience empathy for others or understand what someone else is going through.

>>217252267
It's an interesting premise with a good start, but that it slowly evolves into nothing.
To make things worse, they already said the second season is far from releasing, so good luck keeping the hype alive only with "Yeah, I have an atom bomb now! LOL!"

It's slop disguised as kino

Dabs on uneducated third worlders. The only competent third worlder is a business owner/manager and the rest are portrayed as mindless sheep who care only for their immediate personal group. Even the french guy who is third worlder living in a first world country (France, lol) lacks any sort of empathy for humanity. Mind blowing "they" allowed them to make this show.

>>217252267
Apple paid millions just so they can have a big name like le creator of breaking bad, thats literally the only reason this show exists

interesting concept, ruined by awful writing and a completely charmless main actress

it's' kino

>>217253465
it's based on the retarded premise that technological progress will rob us of creativity and individuality, no wonder the show's boring, empty and nothing happens in it, it's just one privileged Hollywood writer's extended hissy fit at the prospect automatization replacing him and his colleagues

>>217252267
Hehe Kim Wexler goes AAAIIIEEE, so funny :)

>>217252267
It's good. Unfortunately it has a lot of problems and pacing issues, but it's definitely worth a watch.

>>217255528
Yes, grief because of the modern gay and retarded COVID+AI zeitgeist.

>>217252267
Lol it's fucking terrible and makes no sense at all.
It's own rules are bad. They can't kill living things apparently harvesting or and wheat is murder even though the plants fruits rely on animals eating them there by...see it doesn't make sense
It's boring
The script is bad
No one has any idea the plot
So everyone has vastly different fan theories

It's the worst worst jj Abrams magic box shit
Honestly by far the worst television show I have ever, I mean ever seen.. no redeeming qualities at all.

>>217252267
It's kino until you realize that Vince doesn't actually have any ideas for the show and is just doing whatever he can to stretch the initial premise into 4+ seasons so he and his friends can have jobs

>>217252267

It's just a little too slow and the characters don't ask enough questions, making it unbelievable even within the bounds set by the show.
But still, it's an interesting idea and looks nice. Easily 7+ out of 10. I mean you can watch it in two afternoons.

>>217259260
Part of the problem is as much as we want to know the answers to the questions, it doesnt really make for good TV to just have nonstop q&a sessions. I think Carol and Manusous are specifically designed as characters to avoid that, and its also why Manousous's interrogation was offscreen.

>>217252267
It isn't entertaining enough to be considered slop. It's just nothing.

>>217252267
Its watchable. Ultimately disappointing once you realize its written for idiots and doesn't actually explore the neat concepts its supposed to be about. It turns into a narcissist wandering around her town throwing hissy fits until a man shows up to solve her problems and then the season immediately ends.

>>217252267
Everybody calling it boring and saying nothing ever happens clearly didn't watch or doesn't remember Better Call Saul.
After watching Pluribus, I decided to watch BCS, just finishing season 1, and this show has even less going on than Pluribus. I still love it though. I think Vince is way more about aesthetics than plot.

>>217252267
Of course it’s slop. I have never seen it and never will because it’s got the slop Trifecta:

1. Homogay
2. Female ‘protagonist’
3. DEI casting

>>217255471
the show doesnt care about showing any of dis doe

>>217252267
It's filled with woke nonsense and msot of the characters are profoundly retarded, but it is enjoyable and technically well made. Despite everything I enjoyed it. The spic man is based and saves the entire season from being a void of nothing happening. Vince is an excellent director but his pacing is fucking slow.

Its fine but should've been a mini series. 5 seasons of this will be crap.

>white woman yells on poster

>>217254207
This gay shibboleth of pluribians is ironically hive mind-ish; I read books and I was bored by the series.

Any romantasy novel recommendations? It seems like a cozy genre.

>>217255471
That might be relevant if the main character wasn't a BPD retard who had zero interest in investigating any of these things.

>>217252267
its a very boring melodrama about an angry unlikable dyke
mostly aimed at liberal women who have nothing better to watch

the alien shit seems like an afterthought
