Covid on tv/in movies

[Rev. Rye]

Watching the last season of Shameless was kind of surreal, especially when everyone wearing masks kinda made it hard to understand the dialogue, although, let’s be real, finding out that Frank died of COVID was no surprise.

As someone who writes fiction, honestly, there’s currently so much up in the air about how human interactions are going to look when it’s all over that I’m currently holding off on writing fiction that takes place in modern times until we know what they’re going to look like when it’s all over.

Also, how likely is it that future audiences are going to think “surely, there’s no way that the President is going to take such a ‘let them die’ approach to the pandemic. And is he dumb enough to think he can get people to consume bleach as a core?”
