Season 1 Review:
Some of the stories are fresher than others, but all of them fit together nicely as a portrait of this juncture. The overall tone has a rom-com sweetness to it — none of the central characters is facing financial disaster or death from the disease, and there are no never-maskers afoot.

Season 1 Review:
Screenwriter and producer Joanna Johnson applies a nice, smooth coat of “This is Us” lip balm on your chapped pandemic soul throughout. It’s an easy watch, though I found it hard to take my eyes off the amazing LA pandemic circumstances showcased here, with all those spacious views. It’s entertaining, that is, until we get to the show’s strident lesson plan. ... It’s all in your outlook, according to “Corona.” You’re either improved by the pandemic, or you’re not.

Season 1 Review:
“Love in the Time of Corona” isn’t exactly good television. But as time capsule of how some were thinking and operating in the nascent days of an ongoing crisis, it is, at the very least, fascinating. ... Robinson and Odom Jr. do some solid work portraying a different version of their marriage, while Bellows and Kihlstedt struggle to embody their characters’ on-and-off again dynamic. Real life friends Dorfman and Qualley clearly have a level of comfort with each other that translates onscreen.

Season 1 Review:
Too hesitant to engage fully with the most devastating effects of the pandemic, “Love in the Time of Corona” works desperately to polish a pleasant veneer upon this deeply troubled time, and the result is a blandly superficial reflection of what we are still living through. The interconnected narratives and characters lack depth, and the four episodes do little to comfort or entertain.

Season 1 Review:
If your TV is show is going to cover the coronavirus you have two choices: Make it light to provide entertainment and escapism, or lean into its darkness and create something just as (or even more) depressing than the nightly news. With pretty people, fake TikTok videos and a sunny disposition, "Corona" clumsily takes the first path, and the result is a cringeworthy series that is difficult to sit through.
