Devotees of the hit Apple TV+ series Pluribus have uncovered a hidden gem they are calling an essential watch, a sci-fi drama boasting a near-perfect 92% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Uncanny Similarity Fans Can't Ignore
As audiences eagerly anticipate the second season of Vince Gilligan's Pluribus, which stars Rhea Seehorn, online forums are buzzing about striking parallels with another series. On Reddit, viewers have been quick to point out the resemblances, with one user stating they noticed the similarities 'right away'. They highlighted shared stylistic elements, a comparable premise, and even a physical and acting style resemblance between the lead actresses.
The show in question is Mrs Davis, a science fiction drama that first launched in 2023. The eight-episode series is available to stream for free in the UK on ITVX. It depicts a world managed by an omnipotent artificial intelligence called Mrs Davis, which provides guidance via an app to solve humanity's problems.
Why Mrs Davis is a Must-Watch

One enthusiastic viewer called it a 'lightning strike of creative energy' that blends adventure with deep philosophical questions about the digital age.

With its high critical acclaim and passionate fan recommendations, it presents the perfect distraction for Pluribus enthusiasts awaiting their next fix of thought-provoking sci-fi.
