" is a show that gives viewers lots to consider and contemplate, and at the center of all of it is Rhea Seehorn's deft portrayal of Carol. Celebrated for her role as Kim Wexler on Better Call Saul, Seehorn is an actress with astounding range and emotional depth - even a minute widening of her eyes or a twitch of her lip can convey volumes - and it's easy to see why Pluribus creator Vince Gilligan wrote this role specifically for her."

"Since the kindly We poses no direct threat to Carol's physical well-being, her emotional journey is the engine that controls the narrative. Her shifting moods, use of various coping skills - both healthy and unhealthy - and choice of communication styles are all indicative of a woman in great distress. Why wouldn't she be? Even though she's surrounded by people, she's basically all alone."
