Social Distance

This series is very good. It's timely and breaks down the current quarantine from different perspectives. Bravo for memorializing current events as we move through the pandemic instead of waiting until we're on the other side.

It's difficult to make any show about the "right now" without seeming mawkish, awkward, dated or rushed and unfortunately this well-meaning anthology series often dunks into all four categories (sometimes all in one episode) - but in these unprecedented times it definitely deserves marks for trying. Technologically it's quite smart and is varied enough to keep it interesting. To pull it together at all is a serious achievement but the nature of doing so quickly means the majority of stories feel a bit "first drafty" and either have too many endings or not enough of them. There are some diamonds here though - the touching funeral episode, the cathartic threesome episode and the genuinely sharp final episode "Pomp and Circumstance" which I feel like people may be analyzing in a decade's time as a sort of allegorical microcosm of what tensions where at play in the US this crazy year.

So yes - a fascinating effort to "make TV safely" in the era of the virus - and like any anthology it has highs and lows but in its earnest attempts to encapsulate American humanity in these times it may have accidentally done just that. So, fair play, but more drafts required if it gets another go.

What's with the low rating? Mind-blowing! It's a GREAT anthology series about the lockdown and how people coped with it. It's sad, it's funny, it's real and raw.

Whatever your situation was during the lockdown, you'll most probably find it in one of the episodes. It's so frustrating when silly superhero films or action movies have 8-9 stars, and good simple films have only 4 stars? Wow... people shouldn't be able to rate here without some minimum requirements.

Excellent- every episode was incredibly heartfelt. I enjoyed every single one. The teenagers did an awesome job in episode 6. Loved hearing their lingo - that I hardly understood - it was an education. Thank you

This show is more relevant to my lived experience than most shows. It is timely, meaningful, and touching. When we look back, "Social Distance" will help us remember what life was like in 2020.
