Pluribus is set in the Breaking Bad universe — these details give it away

Pluribus is a sci-fi show airing its first season on Apple TV+, the new home for prestige TV. It’s about what happens after scientists intercept a message from outer space that turns them into an annoyingly happy hive mind. Pretty soon, the whole of humanity is joined together, except a few people who are mysterious immune. That includes Carol Sturka (Rhea Seehorn), who is none too pleased with this brave new world. Her mission is clear: as the show’s tagline says, “The most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness.”
