Just as we've begun to see the light at the end of the COVID tunnel, this TV episode does a disservice by dragging us back into its darkest depths. At a time when many are striving to move forward, this episode feels glaringly out of touch and insensitive. The world has witnessed enough grief and uncertainty during the pandemic, and yet this episode decides to rehash the trauma of COVID, particularly honing in on the theme of death. While it's important to remember and reflect upon our shared history, exploiting such raw emotions for mere entertainment feels both unnecessary and tone-deaf. Moreover, the narrative lacked the nuance and sensitivity required to tackle such a weighty subject. It's disappointing to see a show capitalize on collective pain and anguish for the sake of drama, rather than offering a fresh perspective or a healing message. This episode, in its attempt to be relevant, ended up being a missed opportunity to truly resonate with viewers in a post-COVID world. We deserve better.
