I'll have to go back and watch this episode later, maybe when the pandemic is ACTUALLY OVER! I got almost through the whole episode with a couple minutes left but I am so annoyed with it.
I get that this show is fiction. But the writers try to address a lot of real life stuff in real time. And this time, they failed.
Spoiler Alert: Zoe's narration opens in this episode talking about the pandemic, what it was like, but "now" everyone can get back to normal.
Reality Alert: The Pandemic IS STILL GOING ON! Even though vaccinations began what I hoped would be more normalcy in life, Covid cases are up, vaccinations are down, and California of all places, is looking at reinstating safety restrictions.
On this episode folks were just walking round maskless like "it ain't no thang". When in the world is this supposed to be taking place? Oh! Maybe the show is referring to some OTHER WORLDWIDE PANDEMIC?!?!?
I've really enjoyed this tv show and I'm almost 41 years old. I don't know if young adults are feeling like we are in a POST Pandemic place, like the writing suggests??? The show has tackled real issues, like it's predecessor, Black-ish, and I have appreciated that. However IF the show is gonna act like there is a pandemic going on, then be real with it.
This episode disappointed me. I couldn't even allow myself to be entertained because the realest thing about the story is that unfortunately too many people ARE walking around like there is not a crisis going on, so cases are rising, people are dying, mental health is NOT good, job loss, life loss, generation of children affected by Digital Learning and a world population that IS not out of the woods yet.
And I am ashamed to admit that I am disappointed in some of the actor's on this show, who I've admired for using their voices to support political causes and influence others. I wonder if they had any objections to airing this episode at this time?
Next time Grown-ish, just leave real life out of the script cause this one was a distasteful miss.
