[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 302288, member: 5079"] As a general rule, I am not a huge fan of real life in my fiction; if I wanted real life, I'd just look out the window. I handle that by leaning towards fiction of the more fantastic nature, versus mundane. All of that said, if a show is meant to be realistic and be set in the now, it couldn't plausibly avoid the pandemic. So, yes, contemporary dramas that are meant to reflect reality should include references to Covid; incidentally, if not directly. [/QUOTE]
