    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.

    Pluribus is by no means bad. Seehorn is excellent, the premise is interesting, and Apple TV’s production work is as polished as ever. But it just isn’t gripping, feeling instead like a satire that’s unsure what, or who, it’s satirising.

    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.
