Director Vince Gilligan is known for creating some outstanding television, especially Breaking Bad and its spinoff Better Call Saul (both of which are streaming with a Netflix subscription). He's once again brought a new story to the small screen with the apocalyptic series Pluribus, starring Emmy nominee Rhea Seehorn. The pilot episode is one of the best I've ever seen in my life, which is saying a lot because I'm a bona fide television addict at this point. Let's break it all down.
Pluribus has quickly become one of the best Apple original shows, with the entire first season streaming now with an Apple TV subscription. The series was rightfully nominated for a 2026 Golden Globes, and I am still not over just how good the first episode "We Is Us" was... even after finishing all nine episodes.
