A lot of people discussing have said how much this series reminded them of the pandemic, but to me this still felt like a dramatisation. Sure, it is well done, and will remind people of those hard times, but I think people had such different experiences that this can only ever be one lens on things. I was safe in NZ rather than than UK, but lost a lot of relatives and friends around the world.
Many people have forgotten the uncertainty from the start of the pandemic, and, many people are remembering things in hindsight through a different. One thing this miniseries does do (especially Episode 3) is remind people of how hard it was for some, and it is worth it just for that
