The new sci-fi drama Pluribus has been hailed as one of the best TV shows this year due to its impressive original concept, thematic exploration of mankind, and intriguing mystery that audiences are excited to unfold for the rest of the season.
After watching the first two episodes, you might be in the mood to watch another TV series that will give you a similar kind of experience that Pluribus did. Here are our recommendations.
Black Mirror
Black Mirror is an anthology series that features sharp, suspenseful, satirical tales that explore techno-paranoia and stories that tap into the collective unease about the modern world.
While there are different stories and characters in each episode, this is still a perfect companion series that you can watch after Pluribus, as it also deals with similar themes of exploring mankind throughout the high-concept science-fiction space.
