The series, which premiered on Apple TV on Nov. 7 with two episodes, departs from Gilligan’s Albuquerque crime scene to present a world transformed by a mysterious, all-encompassing psychic phenomenon. In “Pluribus,” an alien signal triggers a virus-like contagion that causes most of humanity to act in incredibly benevolent ways, leaving only a dozen immune survivors, including Seehorn’s protagonist Carol Sturka.
