Is saying you have a four season plan the same as forcing a show to last x number of seasons? Four isn't some arbitrary number, it's how many seasons the creator of the show thinks it will take. Vince wants to tell a story and he is saying I need four seasons of episodes to do it.

I like it being slow from a conceptual standpoint as Carol is slowly learning about them, slowly coming to terms with her own grief, and it emphasizes her isolation. I think it would diminish those elements if they were condensed. That said, a lot of people I talk to mirror the pacing complaints. If I recall correctly, Breaking Bad didn’t really take off initially either, so I’m hopeful that happens here too since I already like the show.

Took 52 hours to watch all of "Breaking Bad".

Loved it!

there were plenty of "visible" stops/detours that could be made with the storylines of those 2 shows to keep them going though. (Regardless of outside issues like ratings or dumb execs)

With Pluribus not so much. (Not without drastically changing what the show is)

I'm loving Pluribus, but they've kinda prematurely blown their load with a couple of (pontential) story lines. We've seen Carol go "nuts" because of loneliness. Manousos made his journey and is meeting up with her next episode.

Im sure Vince has a plan, but that doesn't mean it's a good one - or even if it is that it will be successful.

People are people. Nobody is perfect - everyone makes mistakes/missteps. No one makes 100% of the shots they take.

It might be most watched on Apple TV but there's an element of subscription numbers in that metric. If you look at RT audience ratings it seems to have landed on the second tier of high profile Apple shows.

• Pluribus 68%
• Severance 80%
• Silo 67%
• For All Mankind 82%
• Slow Horses 87%
• Dark Matter 80%
