Just finished up Pluribus. I really liked Better Call Saul and think Gillian is a good director and story teller. He really has a knack of filming characters doing something utterly mundane, but zoom out or put that into a larger context and you see the true horror of it all. Pluribus does this, but seems to not be saying anything yet. I have a couple of themes I think they are trying to develop, but by the end of the first season, one of them should at least be clear.
So it was a relief when I went back to watch Palm Royale. Its a goofy, soapy show about over the top socialites with a bit of campy musical theater thrown into a mystery show. Despite a number of stars in the show, they always come back to the important characters and conflicts. And I'm super happy to see Allison Janey get quite a bit of the spotlight. She's really a solid actor.
