Every “pandemic” episode is uncomfortably played out imo

It's true. I watched superstore a lot, and when the pandemic was raging, they had some pandemic episodes. They were pretty good, and kinda smart, because they could still film them because they were wearing masks in the show, which us pretty rare i think. But after just two or three episodes i got kinda sick of it and stopped watching, because the whole mask no mask debate was annoying enough irl. But going back is even worse, because now it feels outdated.
Maybe i'll watch it when the next wave hits or something

Good news, that's basically now. So many people I know have been getting Covid in the last week E two lol.

Episodes of shows couldn't be made during the pandemic, so as soon as they were able to film them, they were already far too late. Pandemic episodes at their core are flawed.
