Carol’s miserable personality is on full display in episode 3 of Pluribus, the new Apple TV show from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan. The episode begins with a flashback to an ice hotel in Norway, where Carol complains about the cold and dismisses a breathtaking aurora borealis as looking like a screensaver. This cynicism might be her superpower, helping her survive in a world where everyone else is part of a hive mind powered by positivity.
The latest episode throws new challenges at Carol, who’s now alone in a post-apocalyptic setting. To make matters worse, the hive seems willing to go to great lengths to keep her happy – including offering her a nuclear weapon if she asks. As one of the few remaining non-hive members, Carol faces significant isolation and uncertainty about her future.
But will she find an ally?
