Despite having two all-time classics on his resume, Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul creator Vince Gilligan says new mystery sci-fi show Pluribus is "bigger than anything I've ever made" Released in 2001, The Lone Gunmen was set in the same world as the highly popular X-Files series, but rather than dealing with aliens and paranormal events, Gilligan's comedy show looked at other secret activities like government-sponsored terrorism and corporate crime. However, despite being met with positive reviews, the show was canceled after thirteen episodes. The screening experience would haunt Gilligan for years to come. Before his 2008 crime show, Breaking Bad, hit screens, the writer couldn't even face sending it to test-screen audiences. "When Breaking Bad came along, I said, 'If you guys are going to test this, don't tell me about it. I want the tree that fell in the forest. I don't want to know anything about it,'" said Gilligan. "Apparently, they did test it. They never even told me the results." Gilligan really had nothing to worry about, though, as Breaking Bad went on to release eight seasons, win multiple awards, and is often regarded as one of the best series ever made. Now, Gilligan is seeing similar success with his new Apple TV show Pluribus, which is already winning over fans. The mind-bending sci-fi series debuted to rave reviews and a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes . Plurbius is available to stream on Apple TV, with new episodes dropping weekly.
