I went into Pluribus expecting something bold, smart, and thought-provoking. What I got instead was a painfully slow, self-important exercise in style over substance.
This show loves the sound of its own ideas. Every concept is stretched to exhaustion, every moment lingered on as if simply existing on screen makes it profound. It mistakes silence for depth and slowness for intelligence. By the end, it feels less like storytelling and more like being trapped in someone else’s unfinished thought experiment.
Curious if anyone else felt the same—or if I’m missing whatever makes this click for others.
