About this listen

Alison Tatlock, executive producer and writer on the hit TV show Pluribus, breaks down why the show resonates so strongly, especially with Gen X viewers raised to question authority, resist groupthink, and trust their own instincts.

We talk about:

  • Why Pluribus sparks debate instead of offering answers

  • How Gen X distrust shapes the show's central character

  • The fear of being left behind by "progress"

  • Grief as a quiet engine of the story

  • Happiness as something imposed, not chosen

  • Why belonging can feel like a threat

  • The comfort and danger of consensus

  • What refusing the hive actually costs
