Pluribus
A post-apocalyptic dark comedy thriller in which a cynical novelist is one of the last people on Earth immune to an alien virus that has turned humanity into a blissful, compliant hive mind. Rated TV-MA, the series carries moderate levels of violence, partial nudity, strong language, and substance use across its nine-episode first season.
