    Does Pluribus “get better”? I’m maybe 4-5 EPs in and it’s not grabbing me. It could be because the main character is insufferable (power to her, Rhea is a great actor)? Anyway does it “get good”?

      It’s a slow burn and doesn’t get any faster.

      Same goes for the main character’s character development. It’s there, but it’s quite subtle.

        Yes. By ep 4 or 5 there are subtle hints of her character developing into… Something else? Not sure what but her edges are beginning to be softened.

      To me it got good by the first episode so I can’t relate. I didn’t find the main character insufferable either she seemed to be the only one reacting to the whole situation normally in my opinion

        Interesting! Nah, insufferable :P I thought the character that was living like a Saudi Sheikh was acting the most sane. Give me a private jet, food from all over the world, entertainment… Make the best of a bad situation.

          Guess that’s where our morales and beliefs differ because to me he seems very creepy in how he’s taking advantage of everyone taken over by the virus. It may be a nice fantasy to be able to do what he’s doing but to me that should stay a fantasy and not be something to actually want or empathise with.
