I’m rewatching the initial episodes of Pluribus while waiting for new ones to come out, specifically to savour the film-making and storytelling now I already know what happens in each episode.
Pluribus is the antithesis of modern American drama. It is film-making with space to breathe and room to think, without rushing through the shots or clobbering you with sound. It’s the epitome of “show, don’t tell” with long stretches where you are invited to observe the characters and scenery in silence and come to your own conclusions…
