Pluribus, the new Apple TV sci-fi show is many things: the new series from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan, a long-overdue starring vehicle for Better Call Saul breakout Rhea Seehorn and, in classic Apple TV fashion, a barely publicized show that massively overdelivers on its secretive messaging. But what it isn't is a mystery show in the lineage of Twin Peaks, Lost or, latterly, Severance. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's the anti-Severance.
Spoilers ahead for episodes one and two of Pluribus.
