Stop me if you've heard this before: A director who is the master of his medium, suddenly devotes all of his attention to an original scifi IP of his own making, with woefully lacking plot and characters, but it gets defended as one of the most beautiful things to grace the screen, and ends up getting #1 in ratings for its niche.
This tortured analogy compares James Cameron's Avatar, and Vince Gilligan's Plur1bus (or Pluribus), both of which are peaking in attention this month. Avatar 3 Fire and Ash just came out, and Pluribus has the most viewers Apple+ TV has ever gotten.
Most importantly, both of them have gotten the epithet "pretty" but in entirely different ways.
(For instance, I only think one of them is good.)
