Overview
- Vince Gilligan’s Apple TV+ drama follows Carol Sturka, one of roughly a dozen people immune to a space-origin signal that rewires humanity into a benevolent hive.
- The newest installment spotlights the collective’s tactic of accommodation and care to coax resisters rather than threaten them.
- Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul veteran Gordon Smith directs Episode 3, leaning into exacting visuals and choreographed sequences that echo Gilligan’s earlier work.
- Gilligan has told audiences not to expect a big twist and has framed the phenomenon as involving extraterrestrial technology without confirming physical aliens.
- The nine-episode series is releasing weekly after a two-episode premiere, has already been renewed for Season 2, and is earning strong early reviews.
