COVID's Cameo in Film and Television


Listen Later

Although the pandemic has impacted the television and film industry, it hasn't made much of an appearance on the other side of the camera. Listeners call in to share how they are seeing — or not seeing — COVID show up in what they are watching.

Good Fight did away with covid in a "previously on" type montage and then featured a long covid story line for one character amid a mask-free "reality." Station 11, which is about a flulike pandemic, has embraced what can be build in the wake of disaster.

Superstore did a wonderful job showing how people lived and struggled with COVID-19. Each episode even showed public health protocols and how employees struggled with the shortages of PPE.
