I feel like I don’t have much to say about the plot itself. It seems complicated on its face, but it’s actually very simple, and honestly, it’s a story that’s been told before. I don’t think that works against it; I think Mandel’s take on the trope is refreshing and the pandemic element is easy to connect with for obvious reasons.
