Overview

  • Set in Albuquerque, Rhea Seehorn stars as Carol Sturka, an immune protagonist confronting a world driven toward compulsory unity and cheer.
  • The series blends dark satire and science fiction to explore the cost of enforced happiness and the erosion of individuality.
  • Much of the Breaking Bad creative team rejoins Gilligan on the project, and Apple ordered a second season ahead of the premiere.
  • At launch the show holds a 100% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, a figure that may shift as additional reviews arrive.
