Rhea Seehorn, the star of Vince Gilligan’s new series Pluribus, has revealed that the show’s script was so gripping it often left her and the other actors unable to sleep.
The latest series from the creator of Breaking Bad centers around Carol, played by Seehorn. She’s one of the few people who haven’t been affected by an alien virus called The Joining, which strips individuals of their unique personalities.
The show has sparked discussions about a wide range of themes, including artificial intelligence, technology, love, and grief. Actress Rhea Seehorn has shared that these complex topics were often on the minds of her and the other actors during filming.
The show creates a lingering sense of unease and explores deeply unsettling psychological themes. Even the people making it would often stay up late discussing the bigger questions it raised – things like the meaning of happiness, what truly makes someone content, and the nature of love and relationships.
Karolina Wydra, who plays Zosia, explained that the show is thought-provoking. It’s not just simple entertainment; it encourages viewers to talk about it and really think about what’s happening, prompting questions like ‘What did that mean?’ and ‘What was the point of that?’
These questions explore what it truly means to be a person – what makes each of us unique, and how we balance individuality with being part of a larger group or society.
I just watched the newest episode, and it was a bit of a letdown! Carol was really trying to connect with this guy, Carlos Manuel Vesga – apparently he’s known as Manousos and is somewhere in Paraguay – but it totally didn’t work out the way she hoped. It felt like everything she did just backfired.
She playfully tests The Others by jokingly asking for a grenade, but to her surprise, they actually provide one. This leads to a dangerous situation where she nearly harms herself and Zosia before realizing the grenade is real.
I’ve seen a lot of people talking about how ‘The Others’ in the show really represent artificial intelligence. It’s a fascinating idea – it feels like the series depicts what could happen if technology takes away our unique selves, our ability to create, and even our free will. It’s a bit unsettling, but it makes you think!
As for how that allegory will develop in future episodes, only time will tell!
You can now watch Pluribus on Apple TV every Friday! New viewers can start with a free seven-day trial.
