Episode 3 of PLURIBUS has me quoting Warren Zevon and speculative fiction from 1935. It's like they made the show just for me (so I wouldn't be surprised if your mileage varies). My review at Episodic Medium for subscribers: www.episodicmedium.tv/review-pluri...

You can read both of our reviews for the whole season and then vote one of us off the TV critic island!
This isn't the first time that Donna and I have written about the same show, but this is the first time that we'll be doing weekly reviews for different publications at the same time. You won't want to miss Donna's, so please subscribe if you aren't already!

I think Apple TV may have a hit on its hands with PLURIBUS. 1st two episodes reportedly dropped early, and the service has crashed. You can read my reviews at episodicmedium.tv at midnight — first post of the season is unlocked for all.
