Pluribus (Menik Gooneratne - Priya)

[Sayaka]

This is a new show on Apple TV, I'm not sure if anyone has seen it (first episode is on Amazon Prime)

I'm loving it - it's post-apocalyptic and I am finding it high quality stuff. In episode 2 I think, I recognise Priya from Neighbours is in it! It's a supporting role and at the moment she's not interested in joining the struggle of the main characters. However, I think this might change in the future particularly if it's renewed for Season 2 due to her 9 year old son in the mix (being part of the hive mind) I think it might eventually persuade her to start fighting back.

Has anyone watched it? I'm not sure how many subscribe to Apple TV in the UK.

I love this show. It seems to be a bit Marmite online with some saying nothing happens. But I think a lot happens, it's more a show you really have to think about and put yourself in the place of the main character. It is such a refreshing change from the endless crime shows or shows where there is a lot of shooting of guns.

I've just been watching the final episode. I can't get over the hate from some quarters "Ohhh nothing happens" Oh but it does. Loads happens. It's a very deep show though  That last episode - "La Chica o El Mundo". Got to be El Mundo.

Hope some of you watch it as time goes on so we can discuss  It is a bit obscure on Apple TV, I don't think many have it.

Yep, I've watched it. Looking forward to Season 2.

It’s brilliant! I enjoyed how slow some of the episodes were, too. A good reminder of how now everything has to move at breakneck speed.

I knew I recognised that actress from somewhere, but couldn’t put my finger on it! Thanks for sharing!

Oh yay, glad to have some fellow fans in here! I thought Menik did well as Laxshmi (sp?) I loved her stroppiness perhaps we'll see more of her in Season 2. Once she's past the denial stage, perhaps she'll join with Carol and Manousos (who I love) to try to get her son back.

Spoiler

I thought it was very disturbing in the last episode where they converted the Peruvian girl then immediately packed up and left. No matter how Carol feels about Zosia, it would be exactly the same with her. I think Manousos has the right attitude  love him not accepting anything from them, ever. Even when he when Carol took Zosia off him, he just rang up "Send me another one"  

What I like most about the show, is that it has some funny bits to break the tensionat times, so it doesn't get too heavy. I loved when Manousos and Carol were arguing and the phone was down the drain, still translating what they were saying

Totally agree with you. Although the temptation  to live it up for a couple of weeks would be very strong

Yes, I think the French guy has been enjoying his blow-out

Maybe he'll come around in the end. Like Carol, he wasn't interested in joining the Pluribus, but I'm sure they're plotting to get his stem cells - maybe once he realises he'll join Carol's gang.
