Season 1 Review:
Beyond the premiere — a truly perfect hour of television — you'll need to be open to seeing the bigger picture at points, and patience is vital if you're to go along with some of the wilder swings this show takes. But if you're up for it, prepare yourself for what could eventually turn out to be a genuine masterpiece on the same level as Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul.

Season 1 Review:
As the story unfolds, “Pluribus” quickly shapes up to be one of this year’s most complicated and thrilling television series, which, with a second season already in the works, has the potential to define this decade like Gilligan’s previous series defined the beginning of the century.

Season 1 Review:
A big swing from Vince Gilligan — he’s delivered another addictive piece of television that, like all the best sci-fi-adjacent content, is as much about asking questions and challenging ideas as it is about the expansive world it creates and the characters that exist within it.

Season 1 Review:
Pluribus succeeds at being a show unlike any other you've watched before, one that's only improved by going in with very little advance knowledge. Alongside Gilligan, writers Gordon Smith, Alison Tatlock, Ariel Levine, Vera Blasi, Jenn Carroll, and Jonny Gomez have crafted something truly special here,.

Season 1 Review:
“Pluribus” can have the feel of an acting exercise, both for Seehorn and her manifold scene partners. That’s not a criticism; it’s a joy for a production this big to have such an experimental, risk-taking slant, and for a talent like Seehorn to get the canvas it deserves.

Season 1 Review:
This is a series about what happens when human empathy is stretched to its limit.
Pluribus seems to suggest that progress that moves too fast will ultimately break things, and waiting to see where and how it breaks makes for some exceptionally compelling storytelling.

Season 1 Review:
[Pluribus] has more to offer than the tantalizing prospect of reuniting the creator of Breaking Bad with the breakout co-star of Better Call Saul. .... Over the course of Pluribus’ first season, Seehorn gets to express a far wider range of emotions than she did as Better Call Saul’s buttoned-up Kim Wexler.

Season 1 Review:
Does “Pluribus” work as television? Within the six episodes I’ve seen, sometimes. .... If the series goes down — if it can’t ultimately put its pieces together — it will go down swinging. It plays like the vision of a genuine individual. In the world of “Pluribus,” and in the world of TV, that in itself is something to celebrate.

Season 1 Review:
It’s an astonishing, exhausting, totally immersive [first] episode of television. Then there’s the rest of the show. Look: The skill and speed on display in that pilot prove that the slowness with which the rest of the season unfolds is not mistake but a choice. Whether the slow burn pays off will depend on the viewer.

Season 1 Review:
The first six hours of Pluribus, after that early burst of premise-setting, is remarkable mostly for its languor. The world is built with the precision and care of a matchstick house: wonderful to look at, much to admire, but as dynamic as dough. .... Seehorn as Carol, and as Saul fans would expect, she is sensational: it is a do-not-pass-go, move straight to Emmy, performance.
