We were in the building on a quiet day when it was closed to the publicâit felt strangely empty, like something otherworldly had disrupted things and left us isolated. It was the perfect setting to talk about the show, which centers around a mysterious message from space that merges almost all of humanity into a single, unified consciousness. Only Seehornâs character, Carol, is left alone in Albuquerque, New Mexico, along with a few others scattered around the world. Those connected to the hive mind, often communicating with Carol through an envoy played by the calmly unsettling Karolina Wydra, are all content in their peaceful, collaborative world. Even the few remaining individuals who havenât joined the hive are enjoying a sense of calm, with the hive mind readily available to them. Carol, a deeply unhappy romance writer, resents them all and activelyâand sometimes accidentallyâworks to undermine their project, believing theyâre misguided. The show unfolds with a series of sci-fi surprises that have become a major talking point in 2025.
