It's the end of the world as we know it, and Carol feels not too fine. A creepy bit of alien psychic glue has brought the world together in perfect harmony... & its not the paradise of the classic Coca-Cola commercial! One grouchy romantasy author needs to save humanity from happiness (didn't the Fourth Wing author Rebecca Yarros already do that? Or was that A Court of Thorns and Roses author Sarah J. Maas?)

Either way, join us our hive mind in saying 'Hi Carol!" to the hit new AppleTV show PLUR1BUS - created by Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul!
