> Somewhere in the middle of **Pluribus**. It’s interesting and definitely unique. But the development of the story is slow. It feels a bit meandering. And I don’t really like the main character at all. She’s abrasive and not very competent, often doing stupid impulsive things that have no chance of working. Usually they give you some evidence that a character is going to change for the better, but about six episodes in, I haven’t seen that evidence much at all.

I think she’s acting pretty rational for:

Someone who has seen 99.9999999% of humanity’s personalities disappear and watched her long term partner die in front of her. In fact, I’d say she’s far more rational than the one pretending that’s still her child, and far less shitty than the Vegas guy.

There is also an extensive [thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pluribus-new-vince-gilligan-show-on-appletv/1024659) on the board.
