Kim Kardashian takes her first lead role in Murphy\u2019s legal thriller All\u2019s Fair, while Matthew Macfadyen is the man who assassinated James Garfield in Death by Lightning, and the fantastic Rhea Seehorn stars in Gilligan\u2019s mysterious Pluribus. Plus, there\u2019s the return of BBC One\u2019s Shetland and Celebrity Race Across the World, and the finale of both Bake Off and Celebrity Traitors.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the rundown of what to look forward to, and catch up on, this week.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"u-heading-size-medium u-heading-style-colour\">What\u2019s on TV tonight?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Pluribus<\/strong><br \/>Apple TV<br \/>Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan\u2019s new show is also set in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and is led by Rhea Seehorn, best known as no-nonsense lawyer Kim from prequel Better Call Saul. But in truth, the superb Pluribus has less in common with Breaking Bad than it does with Gilligan\u2019s days writing on sci-fi classic The X-Files.<\/p>\n<p>The reason why, exactly, cannot be revealed here. Apple TV has forbidden previewers from discussing the show\u2019s central concept in advance of today\u2019s two-part premiere. What can be said, however, is that it concerns a mysterious contagion that is transforming the world\u2019s population into content and optimistic citizens. Everyone, that is, except Carol (Seehorn), a misanthropic fantasy author who seems to be immune to the virus\u2019s charms.<\/p>\n<p>It is a playful, haunting, genre-bending twist on the zombie apocalypse. Except instead of wanting to eat your brains, these zombies just want to make sure that you are happy. Gilligan\u2019s penchant for the absurd (remember Walter White throwing that pizza?) is in full flow here, as Carol reluctantly deals with one surreal situation after another. At its core, though, are smart, challenging questions about individuality and free will. Namely, the freedom to be miserable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.telegraph.co.uk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The TV big dogs are out this week, with Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story), DB Weiss and David Benioff (Game of Thrones) and Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad) all bringing us brand new drama series.
