Spoilers Vince Gilligan's Pluribus starring Rhea Seehorn

No spinoffs. The show is unique and spinoffs only muddy the waters and usually unsatisfying anyway.
 
if there was gonna be pluribus spinoffs i think they would be about the other non effected humans
Well the choices are unaffected humans or the hive mind so yeah. Not sure if there could be a show with the hive mind as the lead. Having the lead as another unaffected human runs into "Walking Dead Syndrome." How do you make it different from the main show? But as I said, they seem to be exploring the concept in the show, so no need for a spinoff.
 
The only character i think you could possibly do a spin-off on was the Indian lady though i don't think it would work that well. Hopefully, we will revisit the "others" as the series progresses.
 
Carol is sure making it hard for us to root for her, even if I still agree with her on principle. She keeps risking Zosia's life in her grand quest for the truth and just an ounce of hope that she can reverse the Joining. Of course, the Others still argue whether that's inherently a necessary thing to do, but I agree with Carol's analogy about conversion therapy. Either way, I feel like both sides aren't listening to each other and I can't help but wonder if Manousos (the Paraguayan self-storage manager we saw in the cold opening) will be the key to breaking that impasse.

Speaking of whom, any theories on what he was hoping to achieve by scanning each bandwidth with his ham radio? Sign of un-Joined humans...or something else? Regardless, his desperation to stay completely quarantined from the Others is eventually going to prove futile. I wonder if he's drinking bottled water or does he at least trust basic plumbing?

Edited to add: Good news! We this week's episode on Wednesday!

well one of the differences i think would be is how the other english speaking un effected humans were the oppiside of what carol thinks is going on

while carol wants to fix the planet and find out what really happened to the world the others were like lets not fix the world and lets not see what really happened and we should just leave the how the world how it is and live like its a tv sitcom from the 1960s to 1990s

i think her spinoff show would be like a abc tgif tv sitcom from the 80s and 90s

because remember how she was with carol when all of the english speaking uneffected humans were all together and carol wanted them to find out with her what happened to the world and they turned on carol faster than the effected humans spazzing out
 
How would that work?

What if the spinoff is called "Carol Dreams" and we get to see her Forest Gump into old sitcoms and hang out with the Golden Girls or WKRP trying to eek out a solution to Carol and the end of the World.

I assumed it was un-joined humans. The hive presumably no longer broadcast any radio or TV anymore as there isn't any need... at least until Carol asks for it?

Or maybe he thinks they are being controlled by radio?

Which is a fair assessment. But this is Vince Gilligan. He doesn't do obvious.

Possibly but I suspect his motivation is more out there.

Which begs the question: Why are there two threads?
Well, this one was first and the thread starter for the second one didn't this one when they started it.
