I haven’t see any discussion for this show on Lemmy so I thought I’d be the first!
Pluribus is the new show from Vince Gilligan, creator of Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul. The marketing on this show was so vague that it was intended to be watched completely blind, with nobody knowing what it was even about.

I think you’re on the money. The signal humanity got is also most likely from an alien species that suffered the same fate, it’s a virus trying to spread to the whole universe.
