Apple TV’s smartest sci-fi thriller officially returns in 3 weeks
The multiverse is one of the most popular plot devices in science fiction and superhero stories these days. Shows like Loki and Rick and Morty, and movies like Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness and Everything Everywhere All at Once, use it to examine the identities of their characters, with infinite variations revealing a person’s best and worst qualities and the traits that are most core to their personality.
