## Key points

- Carol’s wish to be wrong expresses *Pluribus*’ focus on human imperfection.
- A hivemind’s constant approval leaves Carol isolated and unsettled.
- The series divides viewers but highlights Rhea Seehorn’s lead performance.

## Summary

Collider argues that Carol Sturka’s line, “I miss being wrong”, captures the central idea of Vince Gilligan’s Apple TV sci-fi black comedy *Pluribus*. The quote reflects Carol’s discomfort in a world where a benevolent hivemind treats her as perfect, suggesting that human imperfection, disagreement and autonomy are essential parts of meaningful life.

By the penultimate episode of the first season, Carol is one of the few people immune to an extraterrestrial phenomenon that has transformed others into compliant, hyper-friendly beings called the Others. She is torn between helping Manousos find an antidote and her growing feelings for her assigned chaperone, Zosia, while confronting her own cynicism and isolation. The article says the series’ slower, ambiguous and psychologically focused approach has divided audiences, but praises Rhea Seehorn’s performance as Carol.
