Koumba Diabaté is Pluribus’ most disturbing character — and that’s the point

Pluribus has been a fascinating experiment thus far, with creator Vince Gilligan bringing his own brand of post-apocalyptic and dystopian fiction to the television landscape. As I suspected when it was first announced, it’s unlike almost anything else currently airing. There are no zombies, nuclear explosions, or a Mad Max-like wasteland involved here. No, instead, the world is brought to its “end” by an alien infection that turns almost every single human on Earth into a happy, content hivemind.
