This project, notably, will be followed by others that creatively seek to deal with the challenges to production, including HBO's "Coastal Elites" next month. Netflix has also announced a virtually shot anthology series, "Social Distance," from the producer of "Orange is the New Black."All of this can be filed under "If life gives you lemons…" from a TV standpoint, although to its credit, "Love in the Time of Corona" manages to escape the claustrophobia that has characterized most of the scripted TV executed since the pandemic began, such as an episode of the CBS drama, "All Rise."

Finally, there's Elle (Rainey Qualley) and her roommate Oscar (Tommy Dorfman), whose platonic relationship takes unexpected turns during quarantine, plus the distraction of their dreamy neighbor (Emilio Garcia-Sanchez) who regularly showers outdoors.The Elle-Oscar arc contains some of the most fertile material, underscoring the hurdles of meeting people in the midst of all this, including her computer chat with a guy who seems perfect before he suggests they binge all the DC Comics movies together.
