I’ll be watching.

Vince Gilligan is a genius.
 
Can't wait. Going to be a lot of theories about stuff in each ep. Big 'water cooler' show.

Gasometer, nothing major mate, but can you update to 'Pluribus' think it's the correct spelling of the show.

Any word on a start time here in Australia?

My TV tracker app says 4pm but other sites (adjusting for timezone conversion) say about 7pm which sounds about right.
 
Ep's 1 and 2 available now
 
I deliberately didn't look into what the show was about but I wasn't expecting that. WTF lol. That was the best opening episode to a show I've seen for some time. Such a great concept. The world building and plot execution was perfect. Ep 2 introduces more characters and it's already getting into what it is to be human. Reah Seehorn is amazing.

Same, had no idea what I was getting into, have only watched the 1st eposide, loved it. Vincy boy operating on a different level yet again it looks like.

It's been a pretty great way to hype up the show with promos that don't tell you much at all. Hopefully I can convince my wife this is one we should watch together, otherwise it'll be one I catch up on randomly when she has an early night (which is pretty regular atm ha!).
 
Great start.

Really good (and very subtle) commentary on society.

Like BB which is top tier, it's not about science fiction but the journey of the main character. (still haven't started BCS) going to be great to see the character arc of Carol. Rhea Seehorn is immensely talented.

All the best sci-fi explores the human condition - utopia vs freedom has been a regular theme. Sometimes, like in Brave New World and 1984, the 'perfect world' is imposed on people. But it's a really interesting spin to think about what if we had the free choice.

At this stage, I'm torn between eating lobster on Air Force One with supermodels - or saving the human race. But are my children still my children? Or some kind of hivemind creatures?

I trust Gilligan to develop the ideas with a few twists along the way.

Interesting how long before the real people snap out of their denial and realise that their families are now soulless vessels to the hive mind.
 
I thought the first episode was OK. Not what I was expecting. In no rush to re-subscribe to AppleTV.

I just think if this show didn't have 'Vince Giligan' plastered all over it it wouldn't be recieving rave reviews online.
 
Nah, it was very good.

It might not be for everyone though like any show.
 
Another top episode. It was very clever writing to show Carol having a moment where she thought it wouldn't be too bad to be part of the hive mind. A couple of laugh out loud moments.

Shoopy shoop shoop. And the hand grenade out of the window.
