I really like this series & find it unique & interesting, though I do not have Apple + streaming service & It is not yet downloading in order & all the episodes to my ‘PLEX’ service, so all I have watched are FIRST-2-EPISODES, SO PLEASE NOTHING ABOUT EPISODES PAST 2ND.

What is your opinions?

SPOILERS-
I do love the idea that our stupid need to explore space (while <not in the series> on Earth there are huge, sick & evil problems that gets push aside) causes a microscopic beings into Earth & they escape through scientist. With that being said, I am so tired of this Individualism in our society & is manipulated a lot for Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes’/Owners’ increased wealths, thus her trying keep what makes her an individual & trying to save what all of her species members individuals (personality & such) is the only story line. I also love that the microscopic Beings do not want them to want for anything or come to the least bit of harm. I love how interesting it is when the main character passes-out, I assume from drinking or gets angry, they freak-out/rush over to help her, only to drop to the ground & pass-out themselves. Though I can guess where that is headed,

See if you think this would have been a better story line to the series-

Our stupid need to explore space & need for Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners to make profits/wealths over everything else, while on Earth there are huge, sick & evil problems that gets push aside. It bites our species in the BLANK when we decide to kidnap a microscopic Beings back to Earth, with returning robots & they escape within a scientist, because she accidentally injects herself with some of them. The microscopic Beings are of two-make-ups, one is like ‘The Pluribus’ series where they are all of one-minds & no room for individuality & the other make-up is all are individuals & no room for shared existence, no matter how many bodies they both take over. Both are the problems, The not infected/controlled people are individualistic, unlike ‘The Pluribus’ series microscopic Beings, but they can also come together to act as one, not just because they can share one-mind, like the microscopic Beings, more importantly, over time they learn they can respect, understand & Etc. work together for the betterment of the species & for the species survival. Thanks to appreciating their shared experiences, from the good & bad happening all around them. Thus they can do what both (I guess that is the best scientific term to use) families of species of The Microscopic Beings can do, at will though, switching back & forth. Sure I like how the members of our species that cannot yet be turned are far from healthy members of our species. Like the main character is a alcoholic.

People have asked why, so I will put it here for all to read,

I am tired of the individualistic BLANK in our entertainment, when really if honestly look at our country, let alone most countries (especially Capitalist & Caucasian dominated countries), individualism is the problem & is manipulated by The Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners for their benefits.

Look at The Canada & Scandinavian Countries, where just being respectful, understanding & Etc. working together for the betterment of their lives, thanks to appreciating their shared experiences, from the good & bad happening all around them. Result better countries & people living in them. Of course I agree the people, in the above, are almost entirely Caucasian & thus that are not & already there are treated a lot worse (like Canada’s Indigenous peoples) & those non-Caucasian people trying to get in have go through tons of Capitalist dominated EU countries that try make as hard as possible to get through.

    Absolutely hated it. The realism Vince goes for directly clashes with all scifi elements. Especially when he’s trying to show how ‘connected’ the intelligence is. They make so many asinine decisions it begs the question as to whether it’s actually connecting humanity, even while the show is showing that it does by doing many things that could only happen if there’s some sort of mass communication.

    The realism by itself is good. I love Breaking Bad. Though the poor scifi writing of the first couple episodes absolutely ruined it for me. While the show is portraying things as realistic, what is actually happening is beyond ridiculous even within the established universe.

    TL;DR: The scifi elements are beyond garbage.

              So far as I’ve seen you’re purely focusing on them being reckless with the plane as contradicting their ethos.

                    That’s the problem! I do not know how you fail to realize this, but that’s the damn problem!

                    These are not planes that can be flown by one person. These are not the planes that should be used to transport one person anywhere.

                    If the entire motivation of the species is to minimize waste and impact down to a single human, using anything close to such a plane is absolute insanity. That’s still ignoring the logistics that such a plane is LITERALLY DESIGNED TO BE FLOWN BY MORE THAN ONE PERSON.

      When you are dealing with advanced & outside our notions of what aliens are & what can be done, then anything can just about be done. Look at ‘Star Trek’ universe’s Original Series, ‘The Next Generation’ & ‘The Animated Series’ for example,

      Who is Vince?

      I do not know what TL;DR means?

          Makes sense to me with the limitation of how much one human brain can process at once. The only flaw that bothered me is sending any signal from a brain in the first place which should have also been limited at least by range and latency.

              I get more from this reply what mean. I do not see them not having the professional skills? What does the professional behaviors matter, they are not the skills to do the professional things, like they ober & over again flying jets & helicopters.

                  I think this is a very small grievance. I don’t recall if that girl was the only person in the cockpit at the time, but you can just imagine there were two other hived there if you want to.

                  Im going to coach this in vague language to avoid spoilers.

                  The key I think you missed in that sequence is that no one person is important. That person is introduced doing “menial” tasks while filthy. They are pointing out that individual comfort is nigh pointless, as eash of the hosts is just oart of something larger. The human needs once youre joined are minimized on an individual level, or at least, met in a different way.

                  That host was selected for a reason, but even if they did die and crash one of tens of thousands of planes they dont really need, they could send another, very similiar host to complete that goal. The “whole” considered her flying alone to be safe enough, or at least irrevelvant enough if it caused an issue, to be fine with it, and they were ultimately correct.

                  It sounds like you have a very large dearth of knowledge as to what constitutes ‘professional’ behavior

                  I agree with you, no single person can know the professional behaviors/skills needed for many professions let alone all professions.

                  Flying a large plane with one person that is designed to require at least three people to even function is a HUGE lapse of judgement.

                  I think these large planes can be flown by one-person, but I will let be right on that, I do not know as professional whether you are right. You know something you are not taking in consideration for this whole reply’s complaints, is there are what 1-billion people dead by 2nd-episode, & it is increasing in the future episodes as they find more dead. All but what 12-people are under control of all microscopic Beings. There are few planes flying; look at how empty the airports & skies are.

                  Then about the killing The Living Earth practices of transporting only one-person, & other such practices, I was right there with you, but then the obvious answers smacks you in the face. The negatives on our planet’s health & thus all Living Beings have nearly drop to nothing, with fewer population & few transportation.
                  Plus, the infected person overseeing to the main character’s pleasure, needs & safety, told another un-infected male character that they cannot feed him any Beings’ meat, because they cannot harm Living Beings, thus they only can make Vegan foods.

          I understand what half our sentence is communicating, for previous stated reasons I am good with it. But the second part of sentence I you were trying to say, they say that since each infected body shares the whole minds of the whole that are infected, any infected body can do what anyother inefected body can do. Again for previous stated reasons I am good with it.
