“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.
-
A production as impressive and emotional as it is unbearably on the nose and oversimplified.
-
Love in the Time of Corona ultimately manages to rouse with its grand romantic gestures, but too much of the preceding material feels unimaginative, expository and dramatically DOA.
-
The scripts aren't witty or exciting enough to make us want to relate to these characters, none of whom is compelling enough to make a person want to stick around.
-
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.
