I can’t help but see it as a western critique of communism
See I think a theme like that is too simple for how Gilligan and co write these shows. Breaking Bad was thematically kinda sloppy and Walt won too much in the end (big reason why BCS is better), but with Plur1bus I feel there’s more to it than a generic individualism-vs-collectivism narrative. To me the show is more about isolation, grief, and exploring what it means to be a person in the modern world. Ofc the season isn’t over yet and there’s plenty of time for them to fuck it up so I might eat my words in a few weeks.
