I should say I really like the pacing so far. The cinematography is excellent — the director of photography did a great job — the screenwriters are strong, and the actors give excellent performances. There aren’t big cliffhangers or frantic mysteries, and it doesn’t feel rushed.

Two things shape my perspective, tho: first, the main plot feels a bit flat to me — I’m not in a rush to discover or understand the Hive. I’d like answers, but I’m not hungry for them; the visuals and atmosphere are enough for me right now. Second, I have ADHD, and slower pacing works much better for me. Complex, fast-paced shows with many characters are hard for me to follow, so Pluribus’s small cast and more deliberate pace have been a big plus.

That said, I totally get that some people might find the pace dragging — I’m definitely not one of them. Honestly, it could be even slower and I’d be happy.
