  • Absolutely. And I’d go so far as to say that anyone who doesn’t like it is watching the wrong show. They’ve clearly telegraphed from episode 2 onwards that this’ll be a slow moving tale, mostly about Carol. It reminds me in a lot of ways of The Leftovers. If you want answers that was the wrong show to watch, you only watch for the crazy shit and how people respond to that. Plur1bus is a lot tamer in that regard (and gives far more actual answers), but it’s a broadly similar experience.

    It’s a different kind of storytelling than most audiences are used to. You’re not just handed a complete story with all the details explained, you’re more along for the ride while you barely know who these people are or how things got this bad. Along the way some things become clear but many others do not. To me this feels far more realistic than most movies that are made today. And there’s some very impressive cinematography on display along the way as well, with minimal (or none? can’t remember) CGI. So yes, I’m certainly one of those people who think it’s absolutely brilliant. Should probably rewatch it again, come to think of it…
