We've had no shortage of quarantine-themed content popping up in the past few months, but this anthology series, which zeroes in on relationships in the days of social distancing, really shines by acknowledging how much things haven't changed at all on that front. Admittedly, everything is heightened by our awareness of the pandemic's existence and the best of the bunch is stuff that directly tackles the feelings that come out of that (loneliness, anxiety, survivor's guilt), but each story stand on its own even without the threat hanging overhead.
Since its exploration of human behaviour is grounded in familiar themes, there's something for almost everyone here: romance (heterosexual and homosexual), horror, comedy, family and friendship. The cast is all great—even with the limited timeframe, you'll come to love the characters as if you know them in real life—and the smart production knows how to sell each event that unfolds.
Even if you only watch these few episodes, they hopefully won't be a waste of your time:
1. Day 10 (Ep. 4) - The only one to tackle its theme in an offline state, featuring a feel-good story about the beauty of human connection.
2. Because We Know You Still Have to Leave The House (Ep. 6) and Mother Distancing (Ep. 7) - These two aren't related, but both tackle the anxiety children face over their parents possibly contacting the virus, so having them back-to-back feels crucial to me.
3. Talk2DaHand (Ep. 3) - The shortest of the bunch and the one that owes itself the most to the weird state of communication in a COVID world. This one has an excellent punchline that stays with you long after you've first witnessed it.
