Pluribus: Why Vince Gilligan’s new series is nothing like Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul
Vince Gilligan’s Pluribus marks a striking shift from the grounded fatalism of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

With no clear rules, allies or outcomes, Pluribus feels radically unpredictable, and deeply unsettling.
